unclejs revamp (playing DR )

[unclejpl4x4]

I found out that the guy was using the wrong tool and im not the only one who got screwed on head work. and im still buring oil i got get my leakdown tester from work and stop being lazy and make sure the valve seals are good.


update: i passed inspection a week ago.  Also rechecked the head bolts Click click
I pulled out the O2 sensor black as sin  cleaned it / pulled the EFI fuse. going on a long sunday drive in a bit.

also i found out what i wanna do for the intake http://www.yotatech.com/f88/pics-swapping-battery-airbox-148248/
Keep the stock air filter set up run pipe threw the fender then out the anntnI hole up the a-piller.

BUt i was also thinking on a supra 5m air box swap i got more reading to do so if anyone has done this or has a spare

I did the air box relocation, but I never finished it with going into the fender. I just got burnt out and moved on to other things. I am sure you saw it in my thread like last year, I think you made comment on it.

ive got that v6 airbox that came in that red 4runner

So is the engine shop going to make it right and fix it, as well as paying for all your gaskets, etc?

never thot about really his shop is way out of my way and ts not even worth the fustration it is what it is.

we took the truck out for a 3hr tour  did some highway 5th gear 60mph 20miles stop at wallmart no smell, then went exploring  down this little atv trail  nice little spot side burms constant tree branch smackged ( note to self maybe i should not paint the truck)   follow it all the way ti this nice hill open area, turned around found another atv trail took that 2 a river  then  headed home. wass mostly in 4L/first just above idle  I did not smell that bad fuel fumes tilll i drop off my buddy but it was barely noticeable.
Usually after drive half way 2 work i can smell it. So i say cleaning the O2 sensor was a 90% improvement.

those are damn good numbers

i wonder if they even bothered to put new valve stem seals in that head

[unclejpl4x4]

well i opened 1 valve at a time and pressurized the cly i did not see or hear and air from around the springs.  i think my motor sucks so good  it's pulling oil out of the valve cover

I rig up a vent and blocked off the ports on the TB and intake gonna see what happens ill take a pic in the day time tomarrow. 

[unclejpl4x4]

well heres the bypass i did late the other night it's not pretty but its a expariment

o NOTE: on the way home i hade the windown open my :eye:s where burning a little i could smell something and ran a little crapy    but in the morning it ran great.   im starting to wonder the truck just hates me and loves to f with me.   I think for a experiment im gona start blocking off crap/removing

[BUBBA]

I still have not found a drill bit yet so i can tap the sender hole on the thermo housing  ill get to that in a week or 2 .

but right now i need help on gauges  i have a bunch of gauges  but was thinking of just installing the oil-P and W-temp in the center vents got the idea from summit mustang pages.

crapy night pic i got get a day one zoomed out.

[79coyotefrg]

that looks good

[Dr.Maxwe001]

Joe  if that is where its gona stay forever then thats fine but just remember  when its there its there If i were you and you still have the space I would mount them down low where the sunglasses holder is that way they will not get in the way of a drink in the cup holder. that is simply the easy way to run them down low out of the way easy to wire them in behind the dash and they are easy to glance at when you need to just my 

[Dr.Maxwe001]

Joe here is a picture of the ones in my truck again keep in mind this is in MY 93 truck

[unclejpl4x4]

I also forgot  i have not used the center vent in 4yrs i always use defrost/feet  i can't stand heat/cold blowing on me.    I got some info from some people on this matter   and i thank all for there input. 

[unclejpl4x4]

  got my 45$ cold air kit from e-bay the same one PAtaco got  I like it  and i did notice better throttle responce.
Only down side is the AFM is out in lala land so i started  on making a bracket wich is not done.  Also got my gauges finished I like them now i just got finger out why there not lighting up at night.

O and my new head came from engibiulders streetrv, 268 T cam and re-ring kit.
