is it done yet? :fu:

 

Couldnt get the engine in cause theres a small difference in the oil pans! Have to change the oil pans and pumps, cause the pickup tube is not removable. Should have the engine and tranny in tomarro!

 

DAMN toyota changing everything every year! :angry:

got a oic o that?

 

normally when toyota changes something for a gen, its mostly interchangeable on the whole car. its like starting in '69, minor changes every 2 years and big changes every 4 years. theres like 10-12 different 20/2r oil pickups and pans over 20years of production.

 

ive never really strayed from a 2Xr, not quite sure how T series motors are setup.

<_< You just dont get it do you? Its not about the brand with a rescue! Do you only save a dogs life if it is the same "Brand" of dog as you already have? This car was facing a fate worse than death, the slow rot. And we all know that it is too beautifull for that........Im Just Sayin ;) I Love Lamp!

^agree, and why shouldn't a ratsuner guy fix up a carina? i've seen a few of these over the years and even toyota guys don't really care for them much. what's important is that it's getting some love

hey pumpkn, do you have a pic that shows the exhaust manifold? cause i want to see what the starter looks like bolted onto the motor, and also do you think ill need to use shims for the starter i ordered from auto zone?
