Thanks for the kind words, dude! I am the person he's referring to. If any of you ever need quality graphics, banners, wraps... I do it all. I'm a one man army, though I do have an installer that does my bigger installs for me, but I would never let a post like this happen. I make sure my...

:iagree: Yeah, that's a good point. I had a chat with my buddy that used to be a Toy tech a while back and happens to still have a shim kit laying around. We're going to just knock it out next weekend. And then I get to replace my rear dif, power steering pump, and God knows what else...

That is what I was afraid of. Honestly, I think I'd rather just toss a couple replacement heads on and call it a day rather than mess around with the shims/finding them/etc. :love: Bahaha. Sorry for the disappointment.

Okay, not really... but I bet I got you really excited, right? :naughty: It sounds like a diesel, though. Did the timing belt and valve cover gaskets on my '96 T4R. SR5 V6 (5VE-SE). When I did the work, some of the plastic from the wire loom was brittle and broke. A piece fell under one of the...

Oh God... now I feel like an idiot. Ahhhh, oh well. :) Thanks for the heads up on this joker.

Hi all. So, WabFab decided to host a contest to win a recovery kit from them. The rules were according to this: Well, I was the 37th comment out of 833 total. (Yes, my comment was morbid, but I think that was sort of the point of the contest, no?) Mine, as of now, still has no likes and...

I'll go buy a digital scope this weekend and pull the plug to check if TDC is correct. Thanks for the idea.

Makes sense, but wouldn't it run like crap even from a cold start if that were the case?

Not relevant - it would misfire from start-up, warm or cold wouldn't matter. How is that possible when there is a mark to align the belt with the crank, and align the crank to TDC on the oil pump housing?

Nope. T-belt has marks to align everything up perfectly. Both cams are spot on, and crank matches.

Double checked the wiring, and it's all good. Regarding the t-belt, I double and triple checked it after letting it run for a combined total of maybe an hour now, so that's absolutely not the issue. I have a scanner, but I don't recall if it does live data. I'll give that a look in the morning.
