Valve cover gasket

Just beautiful! That's all I can say. Now that you've sealed it. You won't have any trouble.

 

I take it you found a good powdercoater your covers look sweet man!

 

I LOVE THIS TAPE

 

I followed your example. If it wasn't for seeing yours, I wouldn't have done it.

 

Cheers too! You motivated me to clean alot of shite’ out of the engine valley and finally got a new knock sensor harness. Now I know why everyone swaps them, one had no connector and wasn’t hooked up either. It’s been nice that this forum helps us all to an extent. We can now enter both of our pigs in the fair with nice red lipstick.

 

Hell yea!

 

i will have to put this powder coating VC on my todo list,
interested to see what it looks like when you get it back in and running

 

I cannot wait, I will post pictures of mine torn down too ,then rebuilt when Im done. Im just chasing down factory hoses and crush washers last minute.

 

off-topic here, but I know your need for speed
ever had opportunity to drive one of these?
'87 turbo

 

Same here.. Ordering parts. Waiting for shipments.. Money money.

 

In the 'sticky' section of the first gen. forum there is a good one for this with pictures.

 

No, but I did ring out a 97 twin turbo supra very hard. It was very fast and it was a treat to drive that car. I’ll never forget the owner, 16 years old and offered to trade for my airbagged toyota truck, the silly kid totaled the car within a month before we could trade, smh. Way too much power for a 16 year old, that car had my name on it. I honestly like the older ones body style more, call me crazy. The late models look bulbous, lol, my dream car is a konigzegg Agera S, drooling over those.

 

found this broken, sometime after the dealer mechanic touched it
how would this break?
what is the cost to get it back to not being broken with new piece, it looks involving

 

That’s the heat shield, part of the wiring harness,
You CANT get the plastic part unless you buy the complete harness for 2000.00.

Just get a wire loon bracket

 

would that have broken due to them overtightening it? (I assume it has to be taken off for the VCG?)
I don't know what to tell them when I venture out to visit them again about the service they provided to me

 

NO, the plastic is 20 years old, they ALL break sooner or later, super brittle

 

oh ok, so I would not have to necessarily undo it and wrap it up in the tape you suggested?

 

No, yours is just the tab bracket,

 

Checked mine and both are broken. They may have been ok before the last shop touched it. They stripped a couple of bolts and made other messes.
