headers, b-pipe, oil pan...and?

hemlock82 · 10-09-2009, 04:34 PM

So here's the project for the long weekend...

Bought the header/b-pipe set from EMS (current b-pipe is rusted through) and ordered some FIPG to re-do the oil pan (leaking fairly badly).

So while I have the headers and pipe off, I'll pull the oil pan also.

What else will be worthwhile to attack while I'm under there without dropping the motor or anything crazy?

Also, I think the o-ring on the oil drain plug is gone...any idea if that is a toyota specific part or if its a generic o-ring I can pick up at any auto parts store?

thanks guys (and girls).

Fuel filter.

Maybe new bolts and lock washers for the oil pan. Mine were pretty beat up.

Napa should have the drain plug gasket thingy.

Make sure to get the Toyota FIPG, not the generic stuff.

Yeah I had read the warning in some of the other threads about the generic fipg stuff. Needless to say, I went with the Toyota product. Hopefully all this won't take but a couple/few hours, including giving the oil pan a good cleaning while it is off.

I'm trying to work from the bottom of the car up for cleaning/fabricating/replacing things, this looked like an easy maintenance type use of my weekend time (along with fabricating/replacing the chassis support braces).
