Engine pulling help needed - Page 2

I don't think you're going to be able to tip the engine enough to clear the oil pan otherwise. If you force it you may damage the input shaft, bearing or oil seal; output shaft, bearing or oil seal; or the drive shaft or carrier bearing. I could be wrong though... If you find otherwise let us know.

Well i finally got the engine out 2 days ago and been breaking it down. After that damn clutch for was off i could tell right away that the problem was indeed that fork. As far as bending anything it doesnt appear that i did. Is there anyway to check that without actually putting it back in? Oh and btw I will be posting a picture of that fork and also what its around. It will be clear to anyone pulling the engine why u would need to pull that for BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

Also I need all new gaskets since almost half of them are 24 years old

Do u think this would be a good set? not concerned about the head gasket for this since im hopefully getting a metal one. http://www.streetimports.com/product_details.asp?id=710
Also i cant tell if this comes with an oil pan gasket? basically i need every single gasket for this engine and im not sure how many there really are.

The oil pan isn't supposed to be installed with a gasket and I can assure you with great confidence that it is MUCH more likely to leak if you use one (such as the one which Fel-Pro includes). Use Toyota FIPG as directed in the TSRM, Honda's FIPG is quite good too or "Right Stuff" (the kind in a compressed can)... You'll also be using this on the #1 cam caps and at the union of the head and lower rear timing belt cover (DO NOT FORGET TO APPLY FIPG HERE!!!).

alright ill keep that in mind. Also what about seeing if anything got bent in the removal process?

cre · 02-20-2012, 06:16 PM

Put it on a straight edge on lay it on a piece of glass to see how flat it is and hopefully someone will do the same with a known good one for you. I don't have one on hand nor do I have a MKIII here which I could pull one out of at the moment.

well i dont think i need to worry about it. It came off pretty smooth after that fork was off.

icey756 · 02-22-2012, 04:21 PM

can someone point me in the right direction for a complete gasket set? I need gaskets for everything. i mean everything. haha. i see some kits but idk if everything is included and what not.

toyota has the best quality i would hope.
felpro makes a good set.
ebay you can find lots of cheap sets but quality is questionable.

icey756 · 02-22-2012, 06:50 PM

All the felpro sets i looked at dont include ALL of the gaskets. I need one for my rear timing belt cover as well which i didnt see included

CanadianBak'inSupra · 02-22-2012, 07:45 PM

felpro does not make a full gasket set.
seeing as there is only a few gaskets on the block just buy them seperate (front and rear crank seals) felpro should have another set for in between and behind the timing case/cover. that should cover all of them...
