whats up guys, jeez im tired after that fiasco today! had to find a better place to start preppin the 3s (puttin on h2o pump,cam seals etc) and realized how truly heavy that motor is with the AWD on it...
But anywho i had some quick questions before me and my buddy lay hands on it. as far as taking the tranny off (caldina AWD) is there anything i should be particularly mindful of? or any tricks you all know of? please share! when i replaced my harmonic balancer before, the motor was IN the car, and loosening it wasnt TOO bad because we used some suggested tricks (like using prybar against the ground while starting car to loosen bolt) But now since the motor is out, will i have any trouble getting the bolt off? we should have some power tools, but i remember it beign a PITA without it. also does anybody know the torque specs for the harmonic balancer? i couldnt find it after a long search. feel free to throw in any hints for this prep work!  i'll try to take some pics while we're pokin about with it.

Piro - Plz do me a favor and take lots of pics of the valve cover gasket/Toyota FIPG install. I'm leaking like mad from there and am about ready to instal a new gasket and that custom powdercoated VC I bought two years ago LOL.
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance gotcha! but the 4th gen valve cover gasket is 2 part from what doc Tweak told me. i dont remember it being two parts when i took it off before, but then again i have bad memory and it was back in december or jan. when i did it It IS technically two peices if you count the one peice that goes around the #2 and #3 sparkplug tubes and the center hold down bolt. All of the gens have that setup IIRC. But then again my memory can be pretty bad too and it's been 5 years since I tore down my Caldina clip. Perhaps the main gasket is two parts on the Caldina? IDK. Let's research this and include it. Can anybody provide pics of all 4 generations of the 3S-GTE? -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
