Once I get the fuel pump and fuel lines replaced I'll consider the LSA blower

Thanks!

BTW, did I see a Lexus in one of your pics? Black car?

How have I missed this thread?!

Also I found the 15mm bolts into the bell housing don't match. I wonder if my trans gas been out in the past.

My bottom two bolts were like that and I thought the same. I've owned mine since 147K miles, and the oil pan has been off prior to my ownership, so I just assumed they lost one of the correct bolts and threw in a different one.

I need to do this I will probably put it off until I replace the engine.

I wouldn't be doing this all if I didn't have another car to drive.

Pan prepped with gasket, rivets, and new oil cooler cover and gasket.


Surface prepped.


But wait! The dipstick was touching the header. F*CK. So I bent it. Then the brace/bracket broke.


So I bent it another direction. It doesn't touch but the zip tie holding it in place bothers me.


Soooo I got a fancy dipstick on order made by Lokar.

You are definitely not the first one to have that happen. Happened on me on my ‘07 but I was fine with the zip tie solution as it had 270K.

Totally understand that. I have 4 old dogs to drive and keep the wife in the newer rig. I like fixing on them.
