4ag Vibrant Vacuum Block Kits

Hey guys, The past couple months I started a project where I wanted to attach my Vibrant Vacuum Block to the side of my 4ag, and keep everything tucked away and hidden. I don't really have the tools to do any major fabrication in my garage, so I decided to 3D model these little mounts instead. I ini...

Re: My red hatch (fix-up and restoration)

Gottcchaaaa... Very good to know! I think I might be okay since my cams aren't as aggressive as your poncams from a degree standpoint. I had Dan (oldskewltoy) source me some Cat 244 / 8mm lift cams. What compression ratio pistons did you get? I'd be very curious to see what kind of numbers you will ...

Re: My red hatch (fix-up and restoration)

Moving onto degreeing the cams here, which I've never done before, so it was very good to learn the process and practice it many times until I felt comfortable that things were set correctly. How much (if any) did you have to adjust your cams to get them set? The picture looks like your cam gears a...

Re: Saving a crusty 16v 4age

When you reassembled cam gears and timing belt, did you just set the adjustable gears to 0 until you get the engine running to do a finer tune? I have some Toda cam gears, and I'm wondering how to set them for the initial start up... Also, what did you paint those cam covers with? The rough black p...

Re: Saving a crusty 16v 4age

Killer job on the engine and it looks great! Depending on how long the engine will be setting [YEARS?] You are probably better off letting it set with the assemble lube Vs running the engine and then setting. Look at high zinc or break in oil for the first start. Not a fan of test beds for engine b...

It's a slow day here at work, and I realized I haven't shared anything on the spare engine I've been slowly rebuilding over the past 2.5 years.

Re: Question on Digital Gauge Cluster (sensors)

Morgan is correct, for the oil pressure it's just a pressure switch; on/off. However the coolant sensor is just like the normal single-prong ones. This is on my GT-Apex Levin.

Re: Keeping it simple and stupid.

You will have to pull the engine so you can "V" notch both sides of the crack. Find a weld shop that does cast iron and has Nickelcast rod. Welding cast iron requires a very clean surface and pre-heating before welding. Do you have or are you using the engine to trans brackets that tie th...

After the tune I began driving it around town, slowly breaking the car in. I noticed the AFR values would sweep full rich to full lean, back and forth constantly, so much that you could literally feel the car bucking. This was only at partial throttle too. At idle or wide open throttle, the values w...

I wouldn't mind owning one, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. If I do, it would be solely for the motor to do something stupid with!

I think it will sell like crazy once its officially released. I'm just glad Toyota is finally making cool cars again.
