  1. Where abouts in the engine would the strainer mesh be, am i right in thinking it would be inside the sump.
  2. There was alot of carbon build up on the valves and some of the pockets where the buckets sit had really bad score marks in the bottom so the buckets were being compressed by the cams but due to the score marks they were sticking hence holding the valves open which resulted in overfueling and the car would not start. This was all quite a sudden thing. The head was taken off, I removed all the carbon from the valves and reground the valves in, the buckets were checked for burrs and the pots where the buckets go were also polished out to remove score marks and roughness, I had the head cleaned and degreased, rebuilt it, reshimmed it and it went back on. Im totally stumped as why its happened again, which is why I was looking towards the idea oil starvation. any surgestions or ideas Chris.
  3. I havent taken the cams out yet to try to take the buckets out. This is the second time it has happened on the same buckets. The pockets where the buckets go were polished out and the buckets ran really smoothly in and out. Im thinking its oil problems because pot 6 is the furthist away from the oil pump. Even when the car was running after it was rpaird the 1st time if i took the oil cap off I would have expected to see oil splashing around but there wasnt. Have you any pointers Chris. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  4. previously ive had problems with sticking bucket inside the head. i have reconed the head and all the buckets pots have been polished out side there was no tightness at all. The car was put back together and has ran perfect for only 3-4 days (driven very carefully). The 1st time i took it out and gave it a bit of a hiding, the next day I had problems with the car starting. i found there to be no compression on pot 6. So i took the am covers off and both buckets on pot 6 at the injector side of the engine were stuck in again ?????? Now being concerned that this is an oil supply problem I turned the engine over with the cam covers off to see how much oil supply was getting the the head. I was under the opinion that the oil should spray everywhere, but it took a while of turning it over to lube the cams etc. My question is should I be seeing alot more oil being pumped around the head as im turning it over. If ive got a oil starvation problem its not going to be long before something tightens up, I.E. the buckets.

    OIl PUMP

    Can someone please tell me where this is located. pics would be great.
  7. When the cars cold its spluttering when started with trouble ticking over. Once its warmed up abit it sorts itself out and ticks over great sounds spot on. The cars just came back from envy as i had the cylinder head reconed. I did all the head work myself. And the cars ran better than ever for around 3 days then starting to play up again. It took altogether just over 5 months to find out it was the hea that was the problem and get the car back. I knew 31 is map sensor but thats ok and 14 is ignition signal. Any advice.

  9. Anyone have any of the above. Dont mind second hand ones at least I know they will fit. Cheers Guys n girls.
  10. Sorry to jump in here. Using a big breather system such as the 1 fitted to the Envy supra this connects to both rocker cover breathers. Surely specialists such as Envy wouldnt fit this kit if it was going to effect airflow.
  11. Now sorted. Cheers Guys.
  12. would rarther have genuine toyota ones. Come on someone must have a set.
  13. I need a full set of these ASAP. Ive been let down by Toyota, was told they would be here today now am being told thay are on back order and they dont know when they will be in. I need them by Saturday really.
  14. Ive had some work done by colsoop and I must say his work is exceptional.
  15. The 2 sensors are on the intake side 1 in the middle and 1 at the top. Anyone?????????
  16. They just actually fit into the cylinder head, not sure what there for to be honest. I just ned the part numbers for the rubber washers to seal them to the head.
  17. I need my cylinder head cleaned after ahving work done on it and i need the swarf cleaned out of it. Ive stripped it down and need the part numbers for the 2 washers/gaskets that seal the 2 sensors on the back of the head.
  18. You wona sell me the head.
  19. Anyone got 1 of the above, ready to bolt on.
  20. I bought a Hybrid GT FMIC from these guys and did ask them what the difference was between the HYBRID 1 and there own and the reply I got was that the HYBRID one was alot lighter than there own brand but it was designed off the HYBRID GT kit.
  21. Thats the plan with me also. Im almost finished now. Any clues yet on why this has happened.
