UnorganizedMechanic Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 8 minutes ago, GeneralDisorder said: You do realize that a "full rebuild" is essentially impossible due to lack of parts right? The oil pumps for the EA81 have been discontinued for many years now. GD I've heard of the horror stories of finding oil pumps for sure. My intent is a full rebuild as much as I can, not replacing parts. Gaskets, o-rings and, the speed gods willing, piston rings without needing a cylinder boring. Thanks you for the heads up on the oil pump though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV-523 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 No worries! It's been a minute since I've got to work on it, but I've finally got them out and found nearly identical replacement bolts at Tacoma screw. I'm excited to get the Cylinder heads back on the car and get it going again! Thanks for all the advice! The quarter turn forward and back worked best for me. I did not use penetrating oil, but not because I didn't think it'd help. Just don't have any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 In one test I read, 50:50 acetone and ATF worked better than 3-4 fluids sold as penetrating oil ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
