S52 finally!

[parkerbink]

I'll look at the 5 in a few years when it's time to do a drain and fill.

There is a calibration that I did so many times with the bad sensor, I can do in my sleep, it's done. The tune is AA for an S52, I had to send the ECU so they changed the 2.8 config. to S52 3.2 (difference in the O2 sensor per Active.

The AA kit was new & complete, included 39lb injectors.

I ordered OEM 3.5 bar FPR & a new OEM fuel filter, filter is here, waiting for the FPR.

The M master cylinder & master vac came with a check valve, I put the valve in, brakes are back. New valve is coming tomorrow.

Last year Toyota repaired a cam tower seep in the Sequoia. Last Saturday I went to change the plugs, there is severe oil leakage into the tube I get they have to verify themselves but (A) who makes up a spark plug tube full of oil & (B) who opens a valve cover to damage the gasket?

They determined it needs to be replaced & gave me a '24 Highlander loaner. (last year it was a '23 Tacoma)





I had intended to have the Z aligned today but canceled because I had to go to Toyota. On the way home I called Firestone. They got me in, I dropped the Z off on the way to the airport to drop my Daughter and it was ready when I got home.

It feels amazing!

I got 20mm spacers for the rear & moved the 15mm to the front.

Looks great, much better.

Hows it driving?

[parkerbink]

It's amazing @ 5k, pulls like a train, I have to be careful off the line & to keep it away from redline. I have another 150 miles on the break in.

Front looks like it's sitting perfect. Could probably use another 5mm in the rear.

Went through the same spacer dance with my E30, think I have sizes 5mm through 25mm on hand now. 😆
Actually come to think of it, I never did put them back on after the paintjob. Guess that's an easy task for the springtime prep list.

[parkerbink]

Ordered a 25mm, Amazon claims same day delivery, we'll see how it looks.

Thanks

[parkerbink]

25mm is perfect! Thanks.

First oil change, magnetic drain plug did a good job, surprisingly clean considering it's a new motor.

I know it is a waste but sending a sample to Blackstone.

Motor is "done" all is well & it is amazing!

First real wash in months.
