Sunday is gonna be entirely work on the shitbox day. I have dug out my compression tester so thats first thing thats gonna happen. before i spend another dime on this motherfucker i want to make sure this thing isnt FUBAR. according to mitchell at work i should be seeing around 178 PSI in each cylinder. if i see under 150 then its time for it to be completely redone -____-

praying it passes cuz if so then its time to start cleaning that trunk and to buy my engine stand, a few drip pans for coolant/oil capture, ziplock bags, and a notebook. gonna put all the screws for EVERYTHING in labeled bags and write down where each go, complete with a small diagram/picture.

After that its time to start unplugging and labeling connectors. gonna replace pretty much every sensor on the damn thing along with any and all things that can leak. big day. pretty excited.

[aeok18109]

I backed her up into the garage while the homeowner is away for a few days. Shes leaking pretty darn bad. While i was warming the block i got under there and CLEARLY saw it pushing out oil at a good rate right where the bottom of the timing cover and upper oil pan gasket meet. huge puddle of oil even with the cardboard.


Heres my wife holding the plugs that came out of that thing. holy hell they are either original or the ones they threw in when it had the first set changed a million years ago. The tubes have this fucked up scale shit all over them. Can those tubes be replaced?? wtf >_<




Good news for the night is that shes reading pretty good numbers across the board on a dry compression test. Factory is like 178, 154 is FUBAR - i was reading 164 to 175. Gonna try and see if i can get some of this shit ordered up in the next couple of hours so i can pick it up or have it delivered FAST. i wanna do whats absolutely necessary ASAP. the radiator i think will HAVE to wait.

[aeok18109]

Bought the timing kit, water pump, front seal, valve cover gasket set and new plugs. still need to source more parts. want to knock out every bit of maint in one fell swoop dammit.

also drained the oil and pushed that heavy bitch out of the garage -___- popeye was full of shit. spinach does nothing LOL.

[Stupid Kid]

sounds fun

[EnvyXF]

I don't think iv'e eve seen a lexus this dirty. that seat cover needs to be incinerated...
i'll be subbing, I look forward to seeing what you do with the big whore

[aeok18109]

Have been steadily gathering parts. gonna be a day or so where i will steal garage and just blare music and be left to myself.

Have: plugs,valve cover gasket set, crank seal (1), cam seal (2), Timing belt kit (idlers, tensioner, belt), water pump, RTV, Distributor caps & rotors,

ordered NGK wires

still need to source a radiator, hoses, thermostat and alll the steering stuff....money pit so far but kinda excited this thing will be a friggin TANK when its done.

[khanhpig]

I think you must buy a new car =))

[aeok18109]

No, I don't have to buy a new car. You however need to go find a new thread to crap in.

[aeok18109]

Plug wires came in. Rockauto is dirt cheap. Will finally start the shenanigans when I can source a big ass tube of the Toyota fipg stuff. Apparently rtv sucks? Don't want to do the job twice. Much rather do it right the first time

[aeok18109]

Not much has happened with her. Was gonna do some work over the holidays but a 3 day alcohol buzz and it being cold said fuck you to that idea. oh well. been eyeballing some wheels....math makes my brain hurt tho so figuring out offsets and backspacing and all that shit is maddening. besides no point in shopping wheels , until the car is low. no point in lows until she runs. sooooo all in all i got nowhere -___- come on spring/warms. hurry the fuck up and get here
