Cool, thanks man. Should've done that before taking the engine out. I could have told you the "secret method".. all that's needed is a good battery and a breaker bar.

Hey Tom what kinda pressure were you running on your air compressor, if it's set to about 100-125 psi, then your impact wrench should have brocken it free even out of the car. Some times it's best to hit it in a tightening direction first, then to loosening, this kinda takes the stress of the pulley just enough to break it free. We usaully spray about half a can of PB Blaster on every bolt, before even trying to remove them. racerb

I've put a ton of PB blaster on it, and I've hit it both ways. It just doesn't want to move.

Hey that sounds like you need an external pressure regulator, just for when you use your air tools. That way you can jack up the compressor regulator a bit more both on shut-off and on restart, then just adjust to your needed psi on the tool regulator. It keeps the compressor from cycling so much.

Hey guys where can I get a bgb manual. It evidently is a must in getting this engine swap done. My understanding is that it will have vacuum diagrams and everything. The Chilton is not really that informative.

I replaced my headgasket on the ST185 3S-GTE in my GTS without removing the intake manifold. I just removed the entire head from the motor with the intake attached. It's not that hard. & yea Tom I can look at a bolt & tell you where it goes. Any bolt on a 4th gen.

I am new to the board here - stumbled on this site doing some research on my 86 GTS. I just performed some major work on my Celica (186k miles). I broke loose the crank bolt (that had to have been tightened way past the specified torque settings) by dropping the center cross members to get to the trans front cover. I then used a big crow bar and stuck it in the flywheel teeth and the block. This kept the engine from rotating so I could use a big breaker bar and this did the trick.

been there done that, lost so many parts I tore that thing down in Feb, it's now June. I don't even want to think of how many parts I don't have anymore.
