Ed may have a copy as he always knows what size the bolts are

ungn on tb.com sells a cd with the bolt sizes, etc.

I don't know if it has what you require but many pdf's are still on that site. I don't have them here. Dig a bit.

It's working for me - I bookmarked it.

Thanks Dave -this will tide me over until I get the disc. I supposed I could download all the pages - PITA though.

[daveismissing]

Remind me, i think I did it already...

[Steve Wood]

strange..gives me an index but no pages with info when you click on a link...guess you all got the touch!

[SuperSix]

Got it today - well worth the money.

Has the Illustrated parts catalog, the TR service manual, and some other cool stuff.

Better laid out than Jeremy's CD?

Similar - it includes Jeremy's too.

Started getting in most of the parts I needed.. Wife isn't too tickled about all the boxes in the living room (Mail woman isn't either having to lug all the boxes to the front door). Moved the parts out to the garage and started working. Since I had to get a used lower intake (most of the bolt holes in the old one were stripped), I started working on that. Cleaning sensors, installing them, etc. New PCV grommet was a hoot to get installed. I got a little bonkers with the rattle can, cleaning and painting quite a few things. Autozone had Rustoleum low gloss engine enamel on sale - stocked up on a few cans. Degreased everything I planned to paint, and roughed them up wit some sandpaper and steel wool. GOt a little orange peel, but not an excessive amount. Disassembled almost everything I could, cleaned and reassembled. Reinstalled the RJC power plate with the correct amount of gaskets, used trial and error to get all of the bolt setups correct, I am using as many of the stainless bolts for the Alloy Botlz kit as I can, (Yes, I am using anti seize :p) I like the results so far. Fixed the oil drain tube, most of the work was done on the bench today.

Doghose came out good, I taped the fins on top, cut the excess with a few razor blades, sprayed a few coats, and removed the tape.

Intake with sensors, new thermostat neck, painted retainer, etc. (Tasty Cheez-Its in the background)




Fuel rail and coil pack / ICM bracket freshly painted and installed (Mostly mock up to get the fastener layout correct)


Damn near complete, sans injectors and harness - will install those after intake is installed. Painted hard vacuum lines, and I had to install my "Sequential Fuel Injection" V6 medallion on the doghouse - every TR I have owned has has that. I get them at the bone yard off of >85 NA FWD Buicks.


Not sure why I did this - but painted the new ACDelco water pump.


Hard coolant lines and turbo mounting bracket got a few coats...


Sexy.


Sprayed the cross member and block, where I could. Cross member,motor mounts, etc were bare steel with slight surface rust - no oil buildup. I don't expect the paint to last - remember, this is going to be far from a show car.

Looks nice...!!

helicoil the bolt holes and avoid a lifetime of misery

[SuperSix]

The new intake is fine. It was the old one that had all the stripped holes. Only good for scrap.
