    Hello everyone!

    I have a 2003 5 lug with the 2rz and Ive noticed a few things that I have questions about.

    I noticed the pulleys on the motor sitting pretty close to the cooling fan. They dont touch but they seem pretty damn close. I was just curious as to what the measurement for the distance is supposed to be. I just replaced the motor mounts with OEM Toyota mounts (which I have a question about). I havent replaced the transmission mount but by the looks of it, it needs to be replaced soon. I read that if any of the mounts are bad that it could cause the motor to sit too close to the cooling fan.

    Now I have been through two sets of motor mounts. First set was cheap aftermarket from rockauto.com. The motor didnt move but I felt every vibration and it caused everything to rattle. It was really really annoying so I order Toyota mounts. First start up was so so so much better. After probably 2000 miles on these mounts the motor rocks really bad on shut off. Do the OEM mounts get that soft that quick? Im not feeling any vibrations or hearing any rattles but the motor does move way too much in my opinion.

    Ok, my last question. The PCV valve needs to be replaced and so does the hose. I noticed the hose goes from small to big and I cant find any aftermarket solutions. Is this something that needs to come from Toyota or does someone have a way to replace that hose?

    Thanks in advance for any help!
