Just finished rebuilding the stock fuel injectors. Installed the fuel rail and intake manifold. It's a shame I don't have the money for 550's.

Really can't believe the weather I've been having here. It was 9 degrees F today with a -10 F wind chill. Can't get anything done with numb hands. I picked the perfect time to change a head gasket. Better now than to have to have the car down for the summer. Don't have to drive it in all the salt on the roads at least.

Finished cleaning the cam position sensor. New o-ring, cover and seal.

Just for the record and for anyone that does this in the future. If you remember back on one of the pages I was worried that the No.2 timing belt cover was going to hit the lower timing belt case because the machine shop planed the head, but didn't plane the cover. Well there was plenty of space. It is not an issue. Just as Bill UK said.

I might of missed it because i kind ascanned through this thread but did u retorque higher then 70ft lbs? might want to try 75 ft lbs. Most guys are running 72-85ft that ive talked too.

How much did they charge you for those few o rings and seals for the cam sensor? I bought a plain o ring from a toyota dealership for my 22r truck and they got 8 bucks for it. i said screw it and bought it because its made out of somthing special but damn it prob cost 5 cents to make em.

Yeah I wimped out and only torqued to 70 ft/lbs. I know what everyone else torques to. Ive heard of people going as high as 90 ft/lbs. Cam covers and all the braces (turbo to block, intake manifold to block, turbo oil line) and are still off so I can still torque it whenever I want. Its very frustrating having all the parts to put it back together but its too f-in cold to work on it.

I bought these at a Toyota dealer.

Cam position sensor O-ring- $2.35
Cam position sensor cover - $5.70
Cam position sensor cover gasket- $2.92

burton51m Now thats some supra love

IHateHacks What did you do to rebuild the injectors??

IHateHacks 02-09-2007 06:22 PM

I disassembled them, cleaned them and replaced all of the seals.

I just fell into some extra money recently so it looks like I'll be getting a TMS downpipe and testpipe.

I'll post pics when it gets warmer.
