Re: WATER PUMP QUESTION

as a note, the factory does not use sealant on paper gaskets either. I find it easier to hold it in position using the tacky type on one side (I prefer to put it on the pump side) so it does not move and get damaged. And I hate leaks. Also, by putting anti seize on the engine side it will be much e...

Re: Tersel oil pan removal

Thanks for all the responses! What I discovered so far is that the old T.B. was in correctly and my not being able to get the timing to spec. must now be because the dissy. is not in correctly and will take care of that. The oil leak looks as though it is coming from the crank seal, found oil poolin...

WATER PUMP QUESTION

In the process of changing the timing belt and installing new water pump. Two questions, one does the gasket which comes with the pump require any sealant, the old one did not apear to have any? Two, the housing the pump mates to, I believe it is called the water pump suction cover- when all the pum...

Re: Tersel oil pan removal

Thanks Petros for your quick reply, I also hope its the main seal. strangly the oil leak started soon after the oil pan drain plug gasket and oil filter and change was done. A buddy suggested that a small hole be drilled in the metal outer area of the main seal, then insert a suttable sized self tap...

Tersel oil pan removal

Not looling forward to this, but will be replacing the timing belt very soon and also the cam and crank front oil seals. In the event that the existing oil leak coming some where from the bottom of the lower t.B.cover is actually coming from the oil pump gasket and the cover need be knocked off, the...

Re: BEST TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

Hello, Ended up buying a TB kit on Rock Auto by Cloyes, the belt is made in Mexico. Thought I had the oil leak issue solved but it appears that either the crank front seal or the dip stick o-ring need be changed I recently discovered fresh oil beneath that front area on my nicely cleaned plastic spl...

Re: Multi trial starts

Thanks all! The choke seems to opporate correctly and I couldn't find any vac. leaks. As stated in a previous post the orange jet #1 near the back driver's side of the carb. broke and a piece of vac. line was installed in its place. Also the 40 amp. fuse for the CMH system has been burnt for a while...

Re: Multi trial starts

Ok, raising both the fast idle and TP helped but it appears you need to pump it quite a bit to get it to run at the initial fast idle setting. Again it doesn't seem to have a sufficient reserve of fuel when cold starting. After the engine is warm this is not a problem.Wondering if this some how a fl...

BEST TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

Would like to know if one brand belt is superior over the others. Rock auto has kits priced from as low as $17 and change up to over $60. Some include two circular seals which are not shown in the fsm illustration. Same question for a water pump selection.
Thanks in advance

Re: Multi trial starts

Needed to raise the fast idle approx. 5 hundred rpms. Raised the TP approx. 3 hundred rpms. Will report back after trying to start up tomorrow.

Multi trial starts

When the engine is cold pumping the accelerator 2-3 times then cranking the engine it starts then stalls as if starved for fuel. After repeating this 2-3 times the engine will continue running and warm up. Once the engine is warm it will start right up? What am I not seeing?
Thanks in advance

Re: Oil drain plug gasket

SUCCESS!!! Ok, this is what I did, to get that depression out from the bottom of the pan where that channel is in the thread bore is. I cut the head of a bolt with a Demel in such a way that it was able to fit into the channel of the threads.Then the bolt was threaded into a short slide hammer with ...

Re: Oil drain plug gasket

Update, When in the Toyota dealer and chating with parts counter person, he shared a problem he had with a Corolla he owned. Apparently the bottom area of the pan where the plug and gasket seats there was a small depression in the metal. What he did was sand the area and applied JB weld, then re-san...
