Re: Custom Clutch Line for SR5 to GTS Swaps
Any auto parts store will have generic brake line in lengths like 10", 20", 30" etc. Just measure the length from the M/C to the current SR-5 slave cylinder hose attachment fitting and get a GM brake line that is slightly longer then that dim. If you want the bling then go the braided...

Re: My differential exploded...
A possible Toyota option is the MA46 axle used on the light pickups and vans. But only the 2WD Van will have a 4 lug mounting while the others will be 5 or 6 wheel lugs. They are all within a few millimeters of being the same width, but none would not be a direct bolt in. You are probably better off...

Re: She won't start (fuel related)
It sound like an electrical issue. Odds are low that ALL the injectors are plug up with $hit at one time. I would first just try cleaning the ground connections for the injectors. If that does not solve the problem you should verify that the injectors are getting a signal. Use a noid lite or a VOM [...

Re: Removing 4ag 16v Head
I do not think you could justify the cost of a shim kit for one set of cams. You can typically get new shims from a Toyota dealer in just one or two days. If there is a problem in Germany, there are several motorcycles that use the same size shim. You will probably only need a couple new shims for e...

First, verify that there isn't any M/C leaks, which could indicate air in the system. You can made a longer push rod out of a metric bolt. Grind down the hex head so the radius matches the stock push rod end. Take your time when making the balled end on the rod. You do not want offset loads going in...

Re: I think I broke my AE86
It sounds like you got water in the engine some way but it appears that you have dodge the bullet. I would just keep an eye on the oil and also the coolant level. Put a mark on the coolant over flow bottel at it's current level. This will make it easy to tell the level is changing. DaveW7

Re: I think I broke my AE86
Yupper the old head gasket trick!!! I would not drive it until it fixed. There a good chance that you can screw up the head sealing surfaces. Buy an OEM or a good after market head gasket such as a Fel-Pro. Do not cheap out on a head gasket. The rest of the gaskets in a kit should not really matter....

There is the possiblity that the outer ring on the crank pulley has moved. My first 4AGE had moved almost 20 degree from TDC. Since then, I've had another one off by about 6*.

That is actually what I used, Just attached a hose from the tank vent with a loop in it. While you are at the bike shop pick up a roll-over inline check valve. Both are low buck items.

Re: 4AG 20V Charcoal Canister eliminated
You are going to have to vent the tank, either thru the gas cap or a breather. Air has to displace the fuel being pumped to the engine. You can probably use the current line already in the car and just run it to your air cleaner. Dave W

There are two adjustments for the idle. First there is a black plastic cap on the TB to adjust air and the 2nd is the set screw on the TB shaft, to adjust the butterfly opening. [needs a 3mm allen wrench to adj]

If you opened the bleeder valve and the brake is still locked, I would bet that it has to be something with the caliper. If the caliper is really worn the piston can jam inside the cylinder. Also check ALL the surfaces that the brake pads slide on. I assume that when you cracked the bleeder that flu...

You may not have enough free travel in the master cylinder push rod, to release the pressure to the rear axle.
