ehhehe

shhhhhhhh...


nah, I'm happy with lookin at that stuff after work! I just photobucket is BANNED!

 

I must be something like an arch-rival to guys like you, cleansing access logs, pirating the unsecure WEP "protected" wireless next door, using a home machine at work...

On a good day I can get about 8 hours of games and browsing in without the monitoring software being any the wiser! Of course, I do actually have to get work done from time to time...

I also rely heavily on RDC for accessing both my work machine from home, and my home machine from work. For uh... important research to keep me abreast of website design trends...

 

We are smarter than that...we do not use a software application we use hardware so home machines do not get on the network nor do folks get out to where they shouldn't. Hardware solutions much better than software.

 

Ok while you guys were being all geeky and stuff.......

the block has been covered like this for about a week or so.....



so i did the same with the head....especially because it's windy and I don't want any stuff blowing inside there.....or ashes from a cigarette (yeah, it happened)



and then I......

 

but now I stop....I've been hooked into "helping" at an Easter party at my little guy's school....just as well, was getting frustrated trying to find some stuff in bags.

 

Ummm sorry for yet another hijack...

On with the story!!! I believe your right close to slappin on the head.

 

the FSM does not list torque specs for the EGR or the tubes on the back...so the all got 9 ft/lbs.

 

Oh for God's sake, I don't care about hijacks....i hijack my own thread.......have at it...

except i don't have FIPG. I do have RTV black....same? no?

definitely going to use FIPG on the oil pan.

I'm going to wait until I have an extra set of hands and eyes to put the head on............my son.....or XXXTREME22R....where the hell are ya?

 

I moved a bunch of stuff out of the way so I can angle the head in....I can remember the rearmost driver's side head bolt could not be removed entirely because of stuff above it...so that bot I will rubber band in pace so it sits as low as it can go without extending past the bottom of the head.

I wiped down the bottom of the head and gave it one more scraping (not in that order)....but I know that now that it sits at an angle, some oil will inevitably seep out and down.

valves look fantastic....thanks again for the peer pressure..

gasket areas on intake and exhaust got scraped and wiped down as well.

I wish, i wish, that I could have gotten that spider's web of wiring harness untangled from around the lower intake.....but it just looked menacing and essentially unnecessary to mess with.

I think I might be ready.........YIKES!!!!

 

I don't know what you are talkin about.

 

Come on Do it!!! Do it!!! hahahahahaha do it one more time!!! Sorry I guess I got a little excited...

 

wow I feel weird.......like the thread that would never end is coming to an ______.......... I won't even type that!

this damn thing better run. and exceptionally well at that too.

 

got my fingers crossed for ya. Then it'll be 4Runner time!!!! YES!!!

 

shower time....

 

The 2nd pipe you have bolted back there doesn't go like that. The flanged end bolts up under the lower intake, with the flange pointing up.......I'm just sayin'

 

I don't rightly recall how they go...it's been a while.

 

Well now that I am looking at it agian I might be wrong so just disregaurd for now, I will take a look at mine & let you know when I get home.

 

I swear I followed the pic....could be wrong....I'll be sure to recheck.


question on FIPG versus Black RTV.....any takers????

 

I used the black gasket maker (not fipg, they wanted like 26 dollars for a tube here)

 

thanks...and like I said this is only for the head to timing cover gobs.....I will use FIPG on the pan because I don't want to do the pan again.
