Continued surprises, mostly good! VVT gear and timing chain appear to be in great condition Cams/valve cover in great shape - shockingly absolutely no sludge when I pulled the VC AutoTech internals (looks like full pump) are there HT18s-2s turbo "upgrade"(? still researching whether this is...

Yeah - Not faulting JBR for not stocking bushings for a product they no longer sell. It'd just be cool to know the spec; there are plenty of bushing manufacturers. I'll just pull it tonight and take measurements for all to know from here and forever forward. I do have a bunch of 1-1/4" square...

Yeah - Not trying to bash the guy just yet since it has been less than a week, but I was a little disappointed with this response. It was prompt, though! "Sorry, we no longer carry any replacement parts for the rear motor mount that you have there. For pictures of our transmission mount, you can...

I recently purchased a MS6 with the old(er) design RMM from James Barone Racing (PN: MS6-RMM). The JBR site only has info on the updated design, which I believe was still under the same part number. I did reach out to JBR directly, and they responded that they do not stock parts for the old...

Thanks. Knew the head wouldn't come off for timing/VVT service, but timing/VVT would have to come back apart if I were wanting to replace HG/studs in the future. No plans to go to those numbers on torque, so I'll keep it simple.

Interesting. The duct work is all in great shape. Based on Awafrican's comments and yours, I'm foregoing the FMIC and going to continue the focus on going through all the systems to make sure everything's reliable. I know it's not the proper way to check the chain tension, but I can reach...

Thanks for the tips. I did already order the replacement "natural" colored brackets, so that should help. The large holes closest to the wheel well are broken on both D/P side... sounds like a job for epoxy as I'm sure these bumpers aren't easy to come by. Will do on tuning. I've never run a...

I've read about the VVT servicing, but I wasn't sure how to diagnose it (noise, loss of power, etc.), so thanks for the tip on checking for slap. The PO said my test drive was the hardest the car had ever been driven since he'd owned it, and I was going medium on it. I'm sure the valves have...

We recently moved farther from my work, so I was shopping for a good commuter to supplement my 4Runner. I wanted something kind of fun (turbo(?) and manual), then this Speed6 popped up just down the road. Went for a test drive and bought it the same day. PO used it only for commuting w/ 147,000...
