I think so. Been so long since I heard it run I kind of lost my reference point. It was a beautiful sound though.
I still need to put the timing light on it (its at my dad's). I just set it to the clean spot where the bolt was before.
Total damage was around $2,800 in parts and machine work and included the following:
1 04112-66035 Gasket Kit
1 90099-14118 O-Ring
1 25627-66010 Gasket, EGR
6 90919-01176 Plug, Spark
1 15785-66010 Gasket, Oil
1 16100-69325 Water Pump Assembly
1 16261-66040 Hose, Water
1 27370-75060...
It’s nice to be able to borrow tools from work! 60 to 300 ft-lb Proto Torque Wrench.
This is how I torqued the harmonic to the 305 foot pounds. My SST was really simple, 2 x 2 x ¼” angle with a single hole. It wedged against the socket and frame nicely. Word of caution, don’t try this...
These are not views you see every day. The PHH clamp ended up hitting the block so I had to take it off and experience the pain of tightening it from below.
I put the whole assembly together on the bench, like the FSM recommends. If I had it to do all over again, I’d follow Doug’s advice and leave the intake and PITA wiring harness in the truck. I wanted to clean & inspect as much as possible so I did it the hard way. I had no idea what I was...
Landtank – you should have called the phone number! My wife might have answered and convinced you to come finish what I started! Three months since my last post & almost five since the 80 turned belly up…I am the world’s slowest mechanic. Almost had to go to marriage consuling – she missed...
I'm know I am suffering from a case of "While you are in there..." syndrome, but I had to replace the power steering cooler when I saw the corrosion on it. Toyota didn't put a great finish on it to protect it from east coast road salt. Seemed like the time to fix it.
Doug,
That is a great question. My assumption is that most of the wear is on the aluminum cam journals and not the steel camshafts. The new head came with matched journals installed on it. I suspect that if I were to plasti-gage the old head and cams I would find more clearance than I...
Well, when the 80 went down and I knew I had some major repairs to do, I invested in a 40 gallon parts washer. A 3:1 mixture of water and concentrated Simple Green went into the tank. The oil pan spent about 4 days in there with a hot water rinse and scrub each night. I did glass bead the...
I took the pan to work and got some bead laid on it with a spool gun. I would have rather TIG'd it, but the spool gun and a guy who knew how to use it was available. After I filed the machined surface flat I found a lot of voids in the weld. I chased most of them down with the dremel. I...
I decided to try to repair my existing pan. First I drilled through the casting past the crack and then smacked it with a hammer to make the crack grow to the hole. Then I v-grooved it with a Dremel, bead blasted the area, and washed it with Acetone.
