I was pulling a steady 60 hours a week between four jobs over the summer. ![]() Mike, I've been rocking one of those keys for two years. The metal is a little soft, so be careful to never get raped in a parking lot at 12:30 in the morning, give a girl a black eye, and lean into your car and have your butt snap the key off in the lock. Trust me, it sucks. Take your key to the local Toyota dealership, as well as an insurance card. My dealership did a factory cut on both of mine for free. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Just some recent pictures of me starting to tear down the engine.
Exhaust is off. ![]() Getting ready to take the tranny off and then taking it off. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the stand after a few days of hanging. (got the stand for about $55 at harbor freight) ![]() After the intake manifold is off. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lime green fuel injectors? Is that normal?^ Then after the valve cover is off. I couldn't get the color right with the flash being on, but it was a golden brown with a tad bit of sludge in there. Go figure for a car that has been sitting for over 4 years now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The enemy. ![]() ![]() That's basically it for updates on tearing apart the engine right now. I do have one question have do you get the section with the valves off? I think I saw some bolts under the camshafts, it is those that have to come off? |

Removing the head is pretty simple. Take your timing belt cover off, take the timing belt off, take your cam shafts out with a 10 mm socket (have fun..), then using this picture as a reference, here is where the head bolts are. You'll probably need a breaker bar. And hopefully you aren't using cheap sockets because these bolts will definitely win the fight if you are.

What the hell is that golden brown with a tad bit of sludge ? Old oil? Pretty much. The car was sitting for about 4 years before I bought it. Does anyone know what's up with the lime green injectors though? I mean are they the stock ones or aftermarket? This post has been edited by mkernz22: Dec 9, 2010 - 9:35 AM |
