Hey Waskily Wabbit! Well, not sure which parts you're inquiring about. The wrap around pipe?....Timing cover return pipe? Both, yes, I got them, THANK GOODNESS! Can I be sure they wont leak? ....I hate to say it, but no, lol. However, the wrap around pipe that goes up into the intake?....Looks like new, including the flange, and it's NEVER leaked before, ....you know, ...no water stains. O-ring was flat and dry, but seemingly never leaked. So, ....new O-ring, some Toyota Dealership RTV on the timing cover return pipe to timing cover surface....and I'm I'm all back together and ready to go.
Rob,
Referring to the end of the former statement......I have to wait, this time, just a lil longer for a fully set RTV on a couple things. I should be firing it up in the next couple hours......please, PRAY FOR NO LEAKS! AT LEAST for no leaks I can't fix easily later on.
VERY NERVOUS CHEF, saying thanks for the well wish'n,
Mark

K, there you go, .....for now! lol.
Gotta tell you, guys, WHAT A RIDE, THUS FAR! Jerry, YOU'RE RIGHT, ....I was so high that it went well I drove down to Toyota to share with my buddy, hahaha.
Rob, sorry bout the quality, I'll do a 'drive by bleeder video' asap, ok? lol.....Had to come in the kitchen and start, so I'm kinda doing both right now.
Couple things; 1. The front Vacuum(larger one) that goes from the Valve Cover to the Upper Intake, it wont stay on there, ...Keeps wanting to pop off, and that clip is old, worn out, so I'm hoping that's all it is(ordered new ones for that and the PCV).
2. It's still doing that weird thingy, where, when I'm driving?...PURFECT, even when coming to a stop and sitting. But, when I idle in the garage, it starts missing and the idle drops. HELP, ok? lol.... 3. The BVSV is leaking out the threads, just a tiny bit, and it seemed less as I drove, but it's gonna have to be dealt with, ....any thoughts?
Other than that, SO FARRRRR, that I can see, ....No leaks, neither oil or coolant, ....starts on the first turn of the key and has plenty of power, ...EXCEPT for when it does that weird thing....then it wants to bog out a lil. Oh well, back to the process of elimination again....BUT AT LEAST IT'S RUNNIN STRONG, EH?
THANKS, GUYS, all of you, very much! Bleeder(one of my initial inspirations, lol), Jerry, Dewitt, Joe, Wabbit, ROB, Moze, Sean, Corey, and MORE that I'll be sure to thank, later on....MAN, I'm amazed at how many cool people I've met on here! As they say, "I LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR ME,.........YOTATECH!" lol

AMEN, COUGAR! hahaha And actually, back a few pages, I realized upon first start up I had to TEAR DOWN THE INTAKE AGAIN, due to a stuck closed injector and 3 different coolant leaks! lol......But YES, it feels FANTASTICALACIOUS! lol. I would love to see a pic of your rig, whole thing-pic, with those tires on there.
I was making dinner and the Boss' said, "NO WAY, let's go celebrate, ...you pick where"....WAY cool, so I'm off to a mexican place I turned them on to. And I'll be back.....and hoping for some help on getting rid of this HICK-UP, once and for all!!!!! STUPID SENSORS~! lol.

Hey Mel, Joe, THANKS MUCH! Mel, GREMLINS INDEED! HAHAHA. Joe, STUBBORN & 1/2, DANGGGGGGGG! lol. That wrap around pipe is LIKE NEW, I got so lucky for 20$!!! I hope people heed my warming and DO NOT OVER CLEAN that aircraft aluminum piping! BIG MISTAKE! It's so funny, ...that other pipe I replaced, that goes into the timing cover(return pipe?).....IT'S COMPLETELY covered in electrolysis, ....and IT DOESN'T LEAK A DROP!
I'm really even more happy about not having any oil leaks so far. I feel really bad for 'J', aka 92, .....SUCKS, and I remember like it was hours ago, just how much of PITA that pan was, .....HANGING FROM A HOIST, let alone in the truck! The #1 tip I can share from my personal experience? .....DON'T USED A GASKET!....unless it's 85 and older, lol.
Yeah, it sounds REALLY throaty, ..but the video doesn't relay the sound very well. I guess if I did one in 'high' setting, it might also sound better?

THANKS, LUMPY! It's at Toyota, overnight, cuz a homeboy is gonna check it out for a few bucks....just to pinpoint that idle issue. He has an 86, EFI, so he can take stuff off it and check to be sure, etc. I figured, ...WHAT THE HAY, eh? lol.
Take care, guys, and GOD BLESS OUR SERVICEMEN WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR OUR FREEDOM! OOOOOOOOOH RAHHHHH!
