Fan Controller Continued...

I had the taps on the ecu part of the harness so I tapped into the coolant temp sensor plug part of the harness instead.

Power Steering Pump Installation???...

I've had every combination of P/S pump and bracket from here to Tucson so I finally thought that I had this pump situation complete.

Tools needed;
Socket wrench
Socket extension
14mm socket
17mm socket
Long socket extension
Old sock(Socko)

Image

I finally got a SR pump with the right bracket so I can mount this pulley and be done with this.
Image

Mount the pulley...
Image

Place the nut on.
Image

In order to keep the pulley from spinning while you tighten it...
Image

I took a socket extension and stuck it through one of the pulley holes.
Image

Put something soft on it to keep it from scratching or dinging up your pulley.
Image

Take a 17mm socket and tighten the pulley.
Image

To torque it up just place it on the ground and use your foot to step on the extension to hold the pulley while you torque the nut to 50ft.lbs.
Image

Done.
Image

The pump is ready to be mounted to the block.
Image

Mount it here and then spin it so you can tighten the mounting bolt.
Image

Use a 14mm socket to torque to 23-31ft.lbs.
After all this trouble I still ran into yet another problem.
Image

This P/S pump adjuster bracket seems to be the wrong one...doh!
Image

TO BE CONTINUED!!!

I think I got all those brackets and stuff mixed up when I was packing and selling them all off. I probably sold the bracket that I actually needed to keep...doh! I think...I have the SR non-HICAS bracket, the SR non-HICAS P/S bracket for the front of the pump and I believe I switched the HICAS adjuster bracket with the non-HICAS adjuster bracket which is where I'm at now.:smacked49

Valve Cover...Continued

I finally got that missing little o-ring/gasket in and a tube of ultra-grey so now I can install this valve cover.

Tools needed:
Socket wrench
Socket extension
10mm socket
Liquid gasket
Rags

Image

The FSM says to use a liquid gasket. I had the black and the red but people on many of the threads that I read up on were using the Permatex Ultra-Grey for this so that's what I chose.
Image

Spark Plug Gaskets part#: 13271-52F00
Image

I'm still not sure what to call this one but it's refered to as "Gasket-Rocker Cover" part#: 13270-53J13.
Image

Like I said before, I had some trouble getting the valve cover to sit flush. Turns out one of the nuts on the oil tube, on the exhaust manifold side, was making contact with the valve cover so I took my dremel and made a cut to keep the tube from touching.
Image

The gaskets will go here.
Image

Take the ultra-grey...
Image

and make a continuous bead on the valve cover and then place your gaskets.
Image


Image

Wipe off any excess liquid gasket, I think I over did it on a couple. With all your gaskets and o-rings on it's time to put the cover on.
Image

The FSM states to put a 3mm bead of liquid gasket on the four half moon sections of the block. Remove any traces of old gasket first.
Image

These two on the front...
Image

and these two on the back.
Image

Take the liquid gasket and make a continuous bead on the half moons...
Image

and place the valve cover on...yeah, that fuel pressure guage is on the wrong line.
Image

Get your hardware ready. Valve cover nuts.
Image

Valve cover washers.
Image

Place the rubber valve cover grommets on.
Image

Place your valve cover washers on.
Image

Place your valve cover nuts on. The valve cover nuts need to be tightened in a specific manner so refer to the FSM.
Image

They get torqued to 2.9ft.lbs and then to 7.2ft.lbs.
Image

Completed.
Image

Next, your brackets for the coolant temp sensor harness and lines for the engine harness/throttlebody lines.
Image

Place the brackets...
Image

and tighten
Image


Image

Done with that.
Image


Image

Complete.

O2 Sensor

I recieved my O2 sensor this morning.

Tools needed:
17mm wrench
O2 sensor socket
Socket wrench

Image

OEM "skinny type" O2 sensor part#: 22690-50F00.
Image

Old sensor vs. new sensor
Image

The sensor goes here in the turbo outlet.
Image

Remove the sensor bung from the adapter.
Image

Place the sensor and screw on tight.
Image

I used a 17mm wrench to tighten. You'll need a O2 sensor socket to tighten to spec with your torque wrench. It gets torqued to 30-44 ft.lbs.
Image

Complete. I am officially done with the exhaust and the intake sides of the block...as far as I know.
