Bolt Identification
I am in the midst of a dreadful BHG fix on a 1990 Turbo. I took a lot of photos, but they were nowhere near enough. Also put all the removed bolts and nuts in labeled sandwich bags.
So after I...

Head Bolt Retorquing
When replacing a BHG with a stock or Fel-Pro gasket, has anyone retorqued the bolts/nuts after a few heating/cooling cycles? Did they move at all? I want to determine if these non-metal gaskets...

Easiest Way to Hook-up Turbo Oil Lines?
Finally starting to get my 1990 Turbo back together after a BHG.
For those who have been there, is it easier to hook up the turbo oil lines to the block first or the bottom of the turbo first?

Turbo Valve Clearances
As part of my BHG repair, I checked all of the valve clearances. All of the intakes are right around .009" (.006-.010" spec).
The exhausts of 5 of the 6 cyls. are right at .013" (.008-.012"...

Supra radiators w/brass tanks?
Got quite a surprise when I took my 1990 radiator to a local rad. shop. I wanted to have a thicker 3-row core made for it. Rad. shop took one look and said "no way, this thing has plastic tanks".

Fel-Pro Head Gasket for Stock 1990 Turbo Engine
Found a "seeping" HG on the exhaust side of cyl. no. 6. It wasn't burned, just distorted and pushed out toward the water jacket a little. Guess I caught it early. Previous owner had tightened all...

My only reason for blocking it off is because it's so difficult reaching the bolts. But after removing so many bolts, hoses and electrical connections I suppose 2 more won't make much difference.

Interesting. If a ported vac. signal is used, then it seems that EGR has no effect at idle.
Hopefully the oxygen sensor/knock detector (I assume Supras have one) will work to protect things.

Blocking Off EGR Valve-Emissions?
Finally got around to determining why my 1990 Turbo Supra was using (not leaking) about a quart of coolant a day (~50 miles). A coolant test for exhaust gases in the radiator was negative. But I...

Removing Tailight Lens
Anyone ever remove a tailight lens? My 1990 Supra has some kind of green mold inside-just under the outer lens. I can't see how to remove the lens.
