Do you still have the passenger side headlight?

Thank you!

Hi @ToyotaMatt Checking on order #5693 Thanks

Hi @ToyotaMatt Checking on order #5693 Thanks

Thanks Mark, it is a an F135. Going to give you a call tomorrow for some other stuff and hopefully you have a couple of those bolts too. I really appreciate you following my thread and all your help!

Thank you Mark, I found the thimble, need to spring clean the garage. New challenge, the bolts spreadsheet and the bolts I got from Specter call for 10M x 1.25 for the thermostat housing to block. The bolts didn’t fit. A 9M x 1.25 was tight. Do I re-thread these with a 10M x 1.25 tap?

I’m missing something here, does anyone have a picture of the part?

Thanks Mark, off to the hardware store

Almost finished with parking brake, but missing a piece. Anyone know where I could source just this?

Head bolts in and torqued to 90 ft lbs. Unfortunately, the Dupli-color high temp engine paint I used chipped when I torqued the bolts down. I guess I’ll just mask everything else off an paint around the bolts, ugh…

Thanks Mark, I chased the threads prior to setting the head back on, but to be safe, pulled it back off, marked my tap to insure it was the full thread depth, and re-chased them.

While I wait on the spacer to arrive, I decided to get back to the engine. I got new head bolts (thanks @Racer65) and upon inspection are slightly longer (old on left, new on right), will this matter? Additionally, it appears the washer is captured, am I correct? And lastly, the diagrams I’ve...

Thank you for catching that Mark, I can barely see the difference in the two pictures.

Thanks @firemanj92 , that’s exactly what I did. I think I got too excited about putting it together that I skipped a step.
