For mine it was the oil pump seal... I replaced all the other oil seals while I was at it too for good measure!

Yep Fatman the caps are going in the right places (theyre stamped, even a plox like me can read em :) ) Awesome I'll flick him an email :) I'll have to chase up a smaller torque wrench methinks.

Only goes down as far as 10lb, so no, but i just snapped one laying the cams in and they were only finger tight :|

Hey Guys n Gals, I have had my head off to do the gasket, and now im syuck gettin the cams back in, i keep snapping the cam cap retaining bolts, even if theyre finger tight... Is there a guide on re-installing the cams anywhere? On a side note Toyota here in NZ want $5.04 per bolt to...

Wouldnt the cheap option also be more durable? Werent there issues with after market decats cracking because they dont have the brackets on them? Edit: XD... I should lrn 2 rd prpr XD

I got a bung that came with my BOV when I bought it for that hole, it was a nice polished alloy one too...

All I can do is laff at myself. I had much the same issues, pressurisation, and overheating... Pulled my head off (my mum keeps saying i would lose it if it werent firmly attached) and the head gasket is absolutely mint... No damage to it anywhere to be found. So now I'm at a loss, I've...

Awesome, I have to pull the head off anyway to do a head gasket, have the dreaded bubbling and overheating symptoms that go along with it (the head gasket being blown), but it looks like its between the cylinder and water channel rather than an oil gallery, as there is no cross contamination of...

Back again.. let the noobness commence once more XD OK, you know the one just on top of the tappet cover with the pipe running to the intake body, I would post a pic, but that means stealing the batteries outta the xbox controllers for the camera XD...

its due for all of the above... so i _hope_ its just one of those. However, I have an oil leak from Nam which I cant seem to find XD So yes it is going though oil, but its all sitting in my driveway :|

:( My poor poor EP82. Has developed a nasty habit of missing when on boost... Runs on 3 cylinders... 4 when not on boost or not under load... I'm thinking the worst, and its probably time for a new engine :(

Its painful... Remove the ancilliaries that run over the top of the pump (vacumn lines etc) Push them out of the way. Put the car on axle stands, then support the engine from below with a jack Remove the belts, crank pulley, then the timing belt covers. Undo the engine mount, unbolt...

Does the standard ECU actually have two fuel maps?

Only if the head flows more air than the standard turbo head... If by design it will allow improvement in the engines ability to get air/fuel into the cylinders will improve your performance in a forced induction setup. Otherwise it will increase the compression ratio somewhat (not...
