yoohooo

 

meh......

tooth was killing me today.....absolutely!!!

so, made it to church and then class then home and died for a while........so...i did take pics with the good camera but did not load them (have to do that on the upstairs computer).

work next 2 days....

 

Nice work Jerry!

 

thanks.

and besides cleaning up some of the mess in the garage from the previous days festivities, everything is exactly the way it was saturday......and will remain exactly that way until i am off again on wednesday.........and then i probably will try to organize my tools and make a game plan.

 

nitrile rubber gloves from autozone= clean hands


Grandpa always said girls don't want a dirty finger in em....lol

 

had gloves....wore them most of the day, then gave up

 

OK....finally got my pics loaded up. some might be repeats, some might not make sense, but i'm gonna post them all.
some of these are for my reference.

1st of all......the crew (minus me....but i didn't really do anything anyway)

















what the heck is this thing????



dry back here....

 

the motor has shifted a bit on the stand, so i have the hoist hooked up again. have to get it level and right on there.

Joe and i messed around for about an hour disassembling the passenger's side removing the exhaust manifold / a/c compressor bracket / crossover pipe / stiffener plate.

interesting thing i found out.....might be a 3vze thing....might be a 5 speed thing.....but, it would be impossible to remove the oil pan without removing the stiffener brackets..

driver's side will be done tomorrow.

 

that would be the other oil filter spot, actually used for OEM oil cooler lines. There is a thread on her about adding a secondary oil filter to that spot.

 

this is how we started the day when XXXTREME arrived......he should be getting better MPG's without this extra weight.

 

and....as i had promised, we will clean up that guard and paint it up for ya.

 

oh hey, I think tightening up on those oil pan bolts stopped that oil leak. FOr now anyway. lol. I was able to hook my PCV back up without any vacuum leaks though the oil pan gasket. Took it to work yesterday and did not see any new drops of oil on the pavement. Hard to tell at home since it's parked in a dirt "driveway"

 

wow....that's good news.....that was a pretty good leak too.

OMG!!!


I'm in LOVE with toyotapartszone.com

 

 

heh your just figuring that out now?

 

 

yes.

i'm a very simple man. simple indeed.

after google-ing and searching threads i went back to that site (saw it mentioned on your thread about toyodiy) but didn't know there were pictures until i pressed the button that says "get info" and there it is.

definitely gonna go with Toyota head gaskets and bolts.

plus i'm looking for those bolts for the motor mounts and a nut and rubber washer thingy that i had to destroy at the passenger's side fuel rail.

 

and new nuts for the exhaust stuff
