92xj Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Not really. This was my past 3 hours. Time for a walk with the dog and bed. Hopefully 3 hours in the morning will have this back running again. Getting a new head gasket, all new upper gaskets and a Toyota racing cam.

Shaun_300 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Cool! Looks like you need a new exhaust manifold too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wouldn't mind some headers, but the ones to get for these motors are around 500 bucks. No thanks. That manifold is working perfectly. No cracks and seals up perfectly. Even though they have 280,000 miles on them, they are perfect besides the surface rust. Thats the advantage of toyota over Chevy, Things last! :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Got everything finished up yesterday afternoon. Had to take the upper intake manifold off 3 times once done. Had some fuel injectors leaking, so I got a whole new o-ring kit to freshen them all up. Took some more vacuum lines and the egr system off. Trying to eliminate all things in the bay that I dont need. I love having space and getting rid of a lot of things is opening it up nicely. Got it running great and timed perfectly. Flushed the radiator and have new fluids. When all was said in done, I did an oil change, new filters and put in washer fluid that i havent had in the truck in 3 years. With all the upper now rebuild with my tinkering a month ago, the new head gasket and all other upper gaskets, new cam and fluid yesterday, hopefully this thing will last a while longer and keep me on the road. This weekend I put about 75 bucks into the truck with the gaskets, seals, and all the fluids it needed and about 10 hours of labor. Not too shabby.
