If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Just keep pushing through. It'll be worth it.
And just think, when the BEAMS comes out for your GTE swap, It'll only take the weekend. -------------------- ~bloodMoney

It’s minor delays, be patient yeah, patience is key. the more you rush, the more you break things. I’m fairly certain I even had mine started by this point. Slacker. as I recall, yours started but it ran like poop. so.... Just keep pushing through. It'll be worth it. And just think, when the BEAMS comes out for your GTE swap, It'll only take the weekend. YUP! It'll happen. You really get to know the ins & outs of your entire car when you do a swap. Should be cake after this is done. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

as I recall, yours started but it ran like poop. so.... I just looked back through my progress thread. Motor dropped in the engine bay to running in all four cylinders was 6 weeks. You’re running out of time! And it still runs like poo, what’s your point? -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

LOL. yeah it really is the easiest swap to do though.
It's been just me and my bad luck and idiocy that's caused all these issues. Somebody competent would've had it done by now hahaha. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

BUMP!
Well, found the leek. . . . oh... wrong leak. yes. this one. well then... here we go... O ring is there... doesn't look too bad, at least not bad enough to cause a leak. Here's a shot of all the parts I took off. Well at least I know every single bolt on this BEAMS now. lol New pump ordered so once that's in, I can put everything back together and finally start the damn thing. #LongestSwapEver -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

I guess we better stop telling people it’s a weekend swap... I mean we still can. It really still is a weekend* swap... *weekend may or may not consist of many weekends put together therefore the phrase weekend only means that you will no longer have any weekends free as it will be spent most likely in the garage on your back under the car swearing and cussing as to why you decided to put yourself through this twisted form of torture.

Replace O-ring with FIPG and send it. I would but I suspect the pump itself may be bad so might as well put a brand new one in. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
