    Help! Crank Seal Leak

    Hardest part is getting the bolt loose, there is a method with a prybar and the starter that works well but you need to try to loosen this off first. A small set of pullers will be helpful with the pulley as well, they can get pretty tight on the shaft after a while.

    Help! Crank Seal Leak

    A grand, they are having a laugh, its not even a days work to do both seals. I would start by resealing the sump and go from there, it can leak a little from the arched area under the seal housings.

    Rumblings of a new Starlet..

    A new sports car that will replace the GT86, their value is going to up then. Superhero themed city car, cue Black Widow, Silver Surfer and a green one called Hulk. As long as they dont go with Thing I think that could work out ok. I would bet the new minor is going to be some sort of hybrid...

    You are not missing anything, your wet test results show the rings are fucked on most of your cylinders as the pressure only went up a very small amount.

    Exhaust Back pressure and oil leaks

    Its more likely to be ring blow by pressure, as stated above. The stock PCV system is there to alleviate this, but it will only be effective if its connected to the inlet manifold so some vacuum is applied to the valve off power to allow it to open. There will always be an increase in pressure...

    5E choices Raceteck vs Cruise

    Seen a cruise head once and was very disappointed, hardly anything done. To be honest, I would build my own.

    Apexi Power Fc Throttle Position Sensor Issue

    You have to make sure the correct version is selected via the FC-Edit software, should say 4E-FTE2 on the settings 1 page. Its hard to measure TPS voltage as well, if you select TPS V in the advanced watch on the FC-Edit software you will be able to see if its changing correctly then.

    Engine mount strengthening

    My concern with urethane is that it might not bond to the existing rubber bush and you end up with a half urethane mount that would break easier. The window bonding is a rubber solution so it bonds to the existing bush, as long as its clean and grease free.
