It's Mad Max!
and not the crappy thunderdome Mad Max, like the first two Mad Max.

Engine been leaking oil.. suspecting oil pump.. getting new timing belt kit and waterpump

Make sure you replace the cam and crankshaft seals too.

Make sure you replace the gasket behind the whole oil pump assembly. I only did the oil pump gasket and I still have the same leak.

Today, I struck a deal for Tein's, KYB's and side skirts, for $220 shipped,. hopefully all will arrive as described.

Freakn sweet deal, was that on Craigslist?

Guy from the facebook group that is scrapping his, Celica.

Noticed today when I went to install the passenger side SS Celica door sill, that I have two Drivers side sills.

Contacted the seller in Japan via ebay, and he is shipping me the passenger side sill no charge, thanks! Now I guess both of my 6g's can have a fancy sill for the driver!

Ask him to ship two passenger ones, so you can sell them.

Yeah, those seals come with the kit



There's more to it? From what I've been told I only need the seal from the kit, but I've been recommended to get a new oil pump as well as that could be the cause (have to see when everything off) but theres a gasket behind? or will that come with a new oil pump if I order it in

In other news while I was out getting lunch an R8 parked next to me and I went to take a photo and my phone died

There is a thin outer one that looks like a race track and there is a seal around the shaft

Im searching on ebay, but can't seem to find.. link to part please? or part number so I can order from toyota

Today I met with some people that didn't know the meaning of bottom dollar.

Order it through toyota. Its a tiny gasket so aftermarket ones may get still leak if not absolutely perfect. Hate to go through all that work and realize it still leaks. But replace both while you're in there. I replaced my can and crank seals too. Hair of oil on the timing belt so I replaced that because I had no idea when it was changed last. Spent about 200 with oil and plugs. About 7 1/2 hours but I had to clean everyyyything while I was in there since the car was covered in oil.

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll be getting on that..

I was just about to continue my work on the risers.. and a new Celica gets listed at the junkyard!
Gonna go down and grab the sideskirts now

nice chunk missing from the front lucky don't need anything from there

edit: I got the side skirts!! Don't wanna spam this topic so just refer to my progress page
