Manuel Kasko 33 Build/journey

[Manuel Kasko]

Bryce it's only used for sealing the actual butterfly inside the throttle body.

IF you haven't cleaned the stock stuff off then you have nothing to worry about.

You would think the workshops around here would have something they use.

I texted my mate at Toyota and he is going to check for me.

If I can't find anything then I might just bite the bullet and order some of the stuff.

[Manuel Kasko]

Check this stuff out guys

Ive heard about molybdenum grease sticking the same way as the seals. Not sure where I last saw it though. Ill find out

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah I'm doing a lot of reading because I don't want to pay out the $80.00

The thread that Rob posted has a guy from the ACT who has a bottle.

Just sent him a PM but he hasn't been online in a few months

kasko you should try some Hylomar, was recommended to me by scotty for sealing off my plenum and its worked so far, so for your throttle body it would be worth the $14 to try.. comes in a bottle or spray

[Manuel Kasko]

If anyone has some time.

Pop into my thread in the ACT section.

Started up the car on Monday and it had a rough idle.

Gave it a little rev and it stalled.

Been trying to diagnose the issue for the past 2 nights.

After checking fuel & spark I finally got to checking comp

thats sad news dude. Open it up and check could something not needing a total rebuild.

[Manuel Kasko]

I wish I had the tools and experience to open it up and work out what's going on.

I think I'll wait and find out if I'm going to South Africa or not and go from there.

[Hanaldo]

Oh dude

Wtf happened??

[Manuel Kasko]

Still trying to work out.

The car was driving fine Friday.

Started it up Monday morning and it had a rough idle, gave it a little rev (2k) and it stalled

How long since you did the timing belt?

[Manuel Kasko]

Haven't done it at all

Owned the car for 45,000km

And I'm not sure when the previous guy did it.

I guess I should have checked it and done it when I first purchased the car. As you know I have had both power steering and fan belt snap.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yep i recall

Maybe check the timing and condition on it first by just taking the top cover off....

The fact all cylinders are down indicates something dodgy going on...

[Manuel Kasko]

Everyone seems to think the engine could still possibly be okay. I always fear the worst in these situations.

I'll take the cover off tonight if its easy enough to get to. Should only be a few bolts right?

Yeah its easy enough man!

And at the end of the day, who cares if its the engine? Its a standard RB, its not the end of the world Look at the positives hehe

[B-rice]

i did a tutorial about changing the timiing belt. Part of that you have you take the front cover off so have a look. If your not confident i can give you a hand whenever you need to take it off.

Not worried about the cost of a new engine.

More worried about the labour costs to pull out and fit a new engine.
