Didn't want any oil messing up the clutch so all new gaskets and seal went on the engine along with new timming chain, guides and tensioner. (Harold at Musson was a big help with the Toyota gaskets, seals:cheers:. Ordered on Tuesday and would get them on Thursday ) At least it should be a while before I have to wrench on thiss one again.

The green stuff can sure make a mess of things when leaking for awhile :frown: Nice work Albert you've been a busy man but awesome progress on both rigs :beer:
 
Now that is Toyota love.

Nice, You will no when you have a leak there Albert, that for sure.
 
It's alive again. I finished it up Monday night and have about 50 miles on it now. I'm driving it everyday to work and after to rack up some miles. Hope to work out the little bugs before we head out.

Nope no picture with a smile :frown:. Had to get Mickey to pull me to his shop something let lose in the bottom end of the motor at 88 miles. Sound like it spun a bearing on the connecting rod or the wrist pin :meh:. Like I have a bag of marbles in my oil pan is the sound( Yea i know not good) Have to head back to work load a job so can't mess with it tonight. This is really getting old for repairs not working out the 1st time.
