I took a very similar picture of my California rust-bucket parts truck a few years ago:

Yes I promised you a photo of the common PA chrome...

Once I got that engine out. ;-)

I was trying to hit the brake on that thing forgetting that I had removed the abs pump previously. I’m not kidding when I say I could probably break the frame in half by kicking it

Here is how I put the timing belts on. I use 3 clamps. 2 2inch ones 1 3 or 4 inch. The 2 inch go on the camshafts holding the belt on the marks. Belt goes on left camshaft first then the right camshaft. Leave the belt tensioner bolts really loose. Use the larger clamp to hold the belt in place on the crankshaft. Then I use metal bike cycle tire iron to slide the belt onto the water pump. Seems to be a very quick way..

Then I tighten the tensioner bolts up. Spin the engine via the crankshaft bolt twice to verify the 3 timing marks line up. The belt marks will not just the camshaft marks and the top of the crankshaft mark. [ the side mark is only use fior new belt. ]

Once I verify the the engine is in time I pull the tensioner pin.

Anyone ever try to fit a 2007 es350 steering wheel to a 3rd gen? I don’t think it will plug in to the existing clock spring

Do you realize you posted this on my build thread instead of the general forum??

Have you found your engine prices has risen in your area?
I remember for a 5vz could be haggled down to $500. At that time, average prices were $800.
Today, that same engine is going for average of $1900 here.
I would've gotten the engine at $500 but, no where to store that huge and heavy part.

Import engines are stupid high around here, I’ve been looking for a Miata engine and they’re so expensive I could buy a whole donor vehicle cheaper, same thing with 4runners I could easily get a donor vehicle for $1900 with a good engine.

When I get a miata engine I’ll buy a whole engine and transmission from Europe and it will be cheaper than any of the clapped out engines I can find for sale locally including shipping

Yes mine was from the parts mobile. A person took the transmission out and sold me the entire rig a few years ago for $400.00. The replacement transmission came from RandyboDandy manual swap so fortunately. My parts were very inexpensive.

We replaced on the gaskets on the engine and did the valve pans and timing while it was out.. :-)

Well making progress on the 1997 limited. Have the replacement engine ready to drop in all new oil seals vale pans. Timing belt etc. Even got itself new engine mounts
