ripped_fear Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 So been rather busy yesterday, massive thank you to James aka theturtleshead for the help, there is no way I would have tackled this job on my own. The new Valve stem seals are in now but I'm waiting on some cam shaft oil seals and top water neck gasket to get it all finished up, as the old oil seals hadn't been fitted correctly and we didn't fancy refitting them. They should be here Tuesday so the plan is to get it finished Tuesday eve. Here is a couple of snaps from the days work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 ah the good old rope trick. I did this on my first supra, daunting but i got there in the end with limited spannering knowledge. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 So as she is still in bits I took the opportunity to tidy a few bits up, got the bov sanded back and re polished a job that has been annoying me for a long time so glad that is done, re polished the top hard pipe, and gave the new water neck a quick going over. Once all those were done I repainted my PAS matt black as it was chipped in places and fitted my new painted pulley. Finally I carried on with a carbon project I have been working on, something I wanted to try for a while, but the plan is to redo them in fibreglass and re-cover them in padding and suede. Made some progress on the shape. Quite happy with the results so far. ah the good old rope trick. I did this on my first supra, daunting but i got there in the end with limited spannering knowledge. Nice job. A fiddly job isn't it, you're a braver man than me I only did is as i had someone by my side who knew what they were doing. He's a good egg that Jeffers bloke Glad you got it sorted Jake. He is indeed, another example of the forums finest Cheers just hoping this cures all the issues if so I should have some exciting updates soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 So things have advanced! As I'm sure most of you have seen I posted on FB thanking everyone individually but basically thanks to james (the turtles head) luke (attero) SRD and Wifbitz shes back together and looking great. Car need a huge clean but here are some pictures of her back together. I have since taken it out on a run and it looks like it has cured all the smoke issues! Just sorting out an order now for the next round of parts/upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
