Stop the presses boys and girls. There most likely will not be a head install party at my place tomorrow. It looks like I unknowingly am missing 13 parts that are needed to complete the job. When I pulled the head bolts, apparently I missed that fact that there WERE head bolt washers under...

So my saga continues. I noticed Tuesday night that the gasket kit from Toyota came with Valve seals and I just about died. All the heads I've had done over the years have been full valve jobs so Cleggs or the other shop I use have always installed new seals. This one I was just having them...

I'm glad you had luck with the over the counter stuff. I tried it three years ago with my 93 and had horrible luck. The Autozone, checker and Napa stuff was all just a little too big. I got everything installed and then days later I'd trip a code and find several hoses that had slipped off...

Just an FYI. If your replacing your Vacuum hoses, Toyota doesn't sell the hose by the foot off a roll. You have to buy individual hoses. My parts guy found the longest hose for the best price and I bought 6 of them. They were $3 each and I ended up using 4 of them to replace every vac hose I...

I had the injectors cleaned and tested this week as well. Well worth the $90. The tank dip and decking cost me $130 including dipping the valve cover to get it nice and clean. Sad, It actually looks 10x better on the inside than it does on the outside. I'm tempted to buff the outside of...

So I'm an idiot. I dropped the head off yesterday for a dipping and surface job. I also picked up the gasket kit from Menlove. I didn't even think about the gasket kit coming with new Valve seals! I should have dropped them off so they could be installed while they had the valves out for...

Wheelingnoob, same deal on the distributor gear. Very dry. I seriously thought about trying to leave the intake in one piece, but after a couple hoses cracked I decided I was replacing everything anyway. It's never the taking apart that makes me nervous. It's putting it back together right...

I'll pull the cooler off and clean it, thanks. The cylinder walls look pretty good. I think she's wearing fine for the miles. Definitely planning on some extra heat tape around that harness. I actually was thinking that melted wires were my initial problem, but hey looked good.

So after my 93 went 280k+ miles before i sold it without any head gasket issues, my 97 developed the early signs of a #6 gasket leak two weeks ago. Basically running like crap for the first few minutes each time I started it. There was no noticeable white smoke or water in the oil.... I...

I have some experience with "cheap" inflatable boats. We do a 70+mile river fishing trip in western Alaska every year and used to rent White water rafts and such for the trip. 5 years ago we bought several Intex Mariner boats because they were about as expensive to buy as to rent "pro" boats...

We run the Stuyahook into the Mulchatna every year just out side Illiumna. It's a 7-10 float with 3 days in Illiumna to catch Sockeye to ship home. Every year for the past 4-5 years the bears both in the village and on the river seem to be getting more daring as the fish counts seem to have...

I'll throw a couple of the kids up here for you all to critique. Be gently but firm, I'm fumbling through this Photography thing. My 5 yr old My 3 yr old And lastly my 8 yr old princess

9 lbs of solid steel goodness made into a "No Rules" pinewood derby car. Yes I won!

Our troop made 30 pair out of EMT pipe and some heavy roofing material. The difficult part is connecting them to your feet. I still need to come up with a better solution for that than what we did.

A couple from some trips in the last year. Dead horse point: Gray Mesa, Hole in the Rock Trail.

Dang it. I'm really never going to make it since I can't even figure out how to do half of the stuff on that list.

I don't have any of those fancy old SLRs, but I dug out my old Minolta-16 MG-S. It was a rich friend of mines and when he passed away his family was going to throw it out. It is practically brand new. The warranty card, first class film envelope and Exposure cheat sheet are still in the case...

I lurk here like I did in 98 on the mailing list. It was such a different world back then. I still get the daily posts from the LCML, but hardly ever look at them anymore.

Iceecool/Galaxy are the same company but Yeti is unrelated unless something has changed in the last little while. I own the Engel 65Q cooler and like it. Yeti or Engel knocked each others coolers off depending on who you talk to. I left a watermelon and a block of ice in mine in my cruiser...

Kurt, We should talk. I'm getting ready to place an order just after the 1st or so for 8 griddle tops. They will be 1/4" thick steel tops measuring 19" x 28". Metalfab here in Salt Lake will lazer cut, bend the 3 sides up and bend the grease drop on the front just like your pictures. I think...
