Will this fit into a M14 x 1.25 threaded hole?

A Few More 22RTE Components Air charge pipe (blue arrow). Toyota did not bother with an intercooler. Turbo coolant return barb (white arrow). Toyota used a specific air filter box for the 22RTE engine (red arrow). Brake booster heat shield and bracket (white arrow). There is a turbo concealed...

60 Series Landcruiser Project Got a bell housing adapter plate to attach a 2JZ-GTE engine to a Landcruiser manual transmission. Bolt holes align. I am glad I did not have to make this!

22RTE turbo exhaust manifold stud configuration 22RTE with naturally aspirated (NA) exhaust manifold If your turbo is broken, you can convert the engine to NA configuration. Block off the oil feed and oil return holes (arrows). Then, replace turbo parts with NA intake, exhaust, and coolant...

22RTE Exhaust Side The exhaust manifold, turbo, and oil feed/return tubing are apparent differences. Turbo coolant feed barb is located behind the coolant pump (red arrow). Oil feed banjo bolt hole is located behind the engine coolant drain at the rear of the block (yellow arrow). Oil return...

Here is a teaser... Look up Nickel 55 filler metal. It is available for Stick, MIG, and TIG welding processes.

I will start with a historical perspective. Cast iron has been used for countless applications for a couple centuries. It is also well known for cracking. There are people who can fix the cracks. This is a personal project where I am plugging a crack with filler metal. Sounds like I need to fix...

Clocking supra turbo housings Waste gate actuator testing Pressure gauge reads 4 psi.

Cracked Turbo Exhaust Manifolds: Is it really a crack? Penetrating fluid was sprayed into the manifold. I checked for fluid wicking from the inside to outside of the manifold through the crack. If wicking is present, it's obvious. Sometimes cracks are obvious! Why check for cracks? A loss of...

Supra Injectors Been cleaning and inspecting fuel delivery parts for the Supra project. At this point all injectors have functioning solenoids, fuel passes through them, seals are new, and injector filters have been cleaned. Hmm, I wonder what the fuel flow at pressure is?

I've been down this rabbit hole. I figured out the issue by determining the vehicle's AFR.

Trying to get the heater core out of the Supra. Taking the slow and gentle approach with all that plastic!

Beautiful country!

It's a spring tube bender set. Available from a variety of tool purveyors. $50. Really? It takes longer to boil the water than bending the rubber hose.

Working through the 7M coolant system. Using replacement parts I trust. No luck finding new coolant bypass tubes. Might get to bead roll tubing ends, bend tubes, make a flange, then weld it all together. Can't wait to see what the heater core looks like.
