In addition to the head gasket - what other gaskets did you get in order to do this job?


Thanks,

Re: hidden vacuum leaks

Nice post, DLB. I was just logging on tonight to see if I could get lucky and find an easy solution to my vacuum leak problem that I'm experiencing right now. Since I've deleted most of what you mention above, I'm going to have to take it down to basics and spray carb cleaner around until I find a s...

A possible Civic wagon project

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/3111546259.html - $995 for what looks to be a solid ride; it just isn't running at the moment... I know Petros has negative things to say about how tight Honda engine compartments are to work in, but I'm still considering buying this one. Has anyone dealt with ...

Re: 1985 SR5 Toyota Tercel 4WD Wagon - $1200 (Portland, OR)

Hey Johnvincent - I have an appointment to test drive it either tonight or tomorrow. I'm only moderately serious about buying this one, so PM me and I'll put you in contact with the seller if I don't get it.

It isn't a 4WD - I asked. Also, it's an automatic.

She's a beauty though...

Re: 1985 SR5 Toyota Tercel 4WD Wagon - $1200 (Portland, OR)

Hey guys. I have my eye on this one. I'm supposed to take a look at it next week, but the seller is being dodgy/elusive.

I'll let you all know if anything happens.

Re: What's wrong with my brake system?

I will check on the plugged bleeder screws soon. That one makes sense to me. I just hope I don't need to have a vacuum bleeder machine to fix this! Since my lines are so full of air already, I might as well replace the rear brake hoses as well and then start all over with the bleeding process. Can't...

Re: What's wrong with my brake system?

I am having a similar problem. After bleeding the rear driver side brake line I could not get fluid to come out of the bleeder nozzle at all (even with an assistant pumping the brakes). This also happened at the front passenger side but i was able to see some very small qmount of flow at the bleeder...

Ah- sorry, EHF; I sold them just yesterday for $60 to some old-timer with a Corolla wagon.

Re: Wobble in front passenger wheel well during acceleration

Thanks for the input, guys. I will be taking things apart very soon to install new struts, so I'll perform the CV joint test that you describe to see if I can get to the bottom of what's going on. If the joint has any play in it, I'll replace with a full axle from the inner spline out to the wheel t...

Re: Wobble in front passenger wheel well during acceleration

How was it you replaced the outer axle, and not the inner spline shaft? Or did I misunderstand your picture? Hey Petros - I ended up pulling an axle off of a parts car at the bone yard but when I did this, all but the inner, inner spline shaft came off. Because I didn't have the right tools to remo...

Wobble in front passenger wheel well during acceleration

Hey everyone, I'm planning some projects on my T4WD and wanted to get your input on an issue I'm experiencing. Here is the background: A while back I replaced the front passenger axle (the old one was dead). When doing this, I only replaced from the red line out to the wheel as shown below. http://i...

Re: I finally got alloys!

You might try looking for an electrical knock plug and paint it to cover the center hole - I did and works great and never loosened. Looks great! Tom M. Thanks, Tom! Actually regarding the center hole - I ended up taking the photos before (photo2) and after (photo1) I used my Dremel tool to "e...

Re: Full set of freshly painted stock T4WD steel wheels

haha, love the storage space in the underground parking. you can also see them just under the front of the car in your other post about the miata wheels. Oh - It's funny how creative one can be when space is at a premium. I brew beer out of my little apartment and if you look behind anything, you'r...
