Im a novice when it comes to engine mechanics so a little guidance is much appreciated. Dougs DVD and FSM and this forum is working out really well so far. I successfully got the cylinder head off to do my head gasket but I still have a few questions. I did search but not finding what im looking for. Ive been reading about this job for years but cant find some of the nuggets of info in worried about. Hope you all can help and guide me a bit.
I plan on sending my head out for a full service so that will be taken care of. Excited to see it cleaned up and back on my work bench. The oil cooler will get opened up and cleaned while im in there. Also I plan on replacing the original power steering high pressure line while I have nice access to it. Need to order that and maybe something else if you all have a recommendation. The alternator appears to be original. Should I do anything to it while I have on the work bench? 277k miles on it. I also ordered a battery cable kit from Teton Cruisers, mostly for the ground connections.
Over the last few months I remember seeing that the HG kit does not have all the o-rings and gaskets I need. I believe the egr gasket and some coolant o-rings. Any pros out there know? Below is what I ordered so far.
I plan on making another toyota order by the end of the day so I hope everyone else is slacking off at their work computers cruising around the mud forums like I am today and could help. haha im so distracted at work with this HG project...
