Re: ECU, Carb & other questions

Try page 876 of the PDF manual, I believe that is what you are looking for.

Re: "Winter" arrived in Fresno also!

I noticed cherry trees starting to bloom down the road today, they think winter is over.

Re: Winch advice

The wagons weigh less than 2500 lb as I remember. I always figure double the vehicle weight when considering winch size. I would say 4500 to 5000lb rated winch for our vehicles. 8000lb seems like it would be too large for the wagon.

Re: 1992 Camry 3VZ-FE rebuild!

I have worked on a couple 3vz-e engines in 90's 4runners & pick ups, that looks like a very different engine. Hope they designed the exhaust better on those.

Re: Rear Spoiler?

I wonder how much that would help to keep the back window clean.

Re: What kind of oil do you recommend?

So peening the piston like that makes it tougher eh? Don't let the others know of this or everyone will want peened pistons. :P

Re: Head gasket blows, block has electrolysis spot

I put rags down in the cylinders to catch most of the dust & used my air body sander to level mine out. just made sure to keep it level & even across the whole deck when I did it. It has worked for 10 years like that.

Re: Is this gear the same through 83-88

Sounds like a bad bearing. Gears are usually eaten when a bearing goes bad and allows the shaft to flop around in there.

Really, there has to be a yugo, pacer or gremlin out there somewhere still.

Re: Front Axle Replacement Video

Petros, what is your method of checking the cv joint to see if it is bad on the new axle shaft?

Re: my turt needs a head-seattle

I dug it out of the shed, I knew I had one. Looks to be in good shape, took it off a running car with a blown transmission. I would like 50 for this one. I am in Monroe. It needs gasket scraped off of the bottom & the exhaust areas, otherwise pretty clean.

I am north of Seattle by an hour. That price for the rebuilt rack is a good one actually.

Re: How bad is this (steering rack/rods)?

Are you in Washington? I have a power steering rack out in the shed. Pulled it out of the parts car I had. Mine has a manual rack so I really don't need it.
