Crawled under the old girl yesterday to check for leaks after engine install and test drive, and I noticed that the belt is rubbing on the smog pump delete bracket. See attached pic.

'98-'05 owners, this is the part where you laugh and say, I told you not to buy an '06 or '07 aging fleet. Well, I didn't listen. I wanted the extra horsepower so now it's time for me to pay the vvti tax. I chose not to bypass the system...

questions: Do you plug off the air intake manifold on top of the block?
2. Do you also plug the exhaust tube running from Bottom of the exhaust manifold to the air...
Why does the water pump belt on my 1983 fj60 (stock, not desmogged) continue to come loose after driving 1000 or so miles ? I should note that I installed a new one (not OEM) about 1000 miles ago AND I USE A OTC Belt tension gauge 6673 that is the same type as the one mentioned in the FSM such...
My wife started her GX470 yesterday morning and got this big whirring sound. Didn’t do it again until she left the office f R lunch. Was unable to repeat until this morning. I recorded it but was able to find an identical issue:
