Except one has 0 km on it and the other has 465,000...or wait....0 km on it!

Galen all the parts I have are installed.

Time to ship it up here...or come for a visit!

I'm getting about 1 second of sound, then no sound and the picture is frozen for about 11 minutes, then you are talking about washers. Does the video work for anyone else? I tried through youtube as well.

 

[OGBeno]

^^ Same for me as well.

The suspense is killing me!

1. You’re the man.
2. You have a wonderfully patient wife.
3. I guess I don’t need to sent the manifold and water pump now!
4. It sounds freaking awesome.

It would have sounded so much cooler with the turbo though I just wanted to do a function check before we shipped it back off after having so much apart. No oil leaks so I guess I plugged all the oil ports. I have a bolt and a fuel hose to pick up from Toyota for you tomorrow and will also try to round up a suitable replacement for that coolant pipe. Should be able to get it all crated back up tomorrow so we need to find a way to ship this sucker.

Soon enough, we’ll hear that turbo whistle. I’ll start looking for shippers as well.

Here are some time stamps to the best parts of the video:

6:17 “It’s getting really smoky, I’m gonna open the door.”

6:45 Roma is engulfed in smoke. He turns and smiles.

6:52 “There it is. Idling.”

6:58 Chelsie runs away as fast as a very pregnant lady can.

9:39 the asynchronous growl of the 12HT is silenced

9:43 “Eyes are burning from the exhaust fumes....”

NICE!!!!!

Awesome. While you have it there, do something about the touchy throttle.

I should order the heavier springs- someone in Australia has them. I’ll look for it.

Found a suitable replacement for this coolant pipe. After all three fittings are tightened it's damn near the same length and this one won't rust.

Also drained the oil back out for shipment back to Texas.

What sealant did you use for the 3-piece brass coolant thingy? Toyo FIPG?

Crate is done as soon as I put a lid on it.
