It took a 1/2 breaker + impact socket + 4 ft bar to get my Supra crank bolt off. Impact gun wouldn’t do it.  
A bunch of MKIII Supra guys do the breaker bar thing while the engine is in the car and blip the starter. I don’t know how I feel about that, though :wierd .

The IR titanium will be in my hands by tomorrow for sure. I can’t handle this gun being shot. I’ll probably rebuild it later, but right now the cheapest way out is to just get the new gun. There’s a lot of projects coming up so I need something that won’t bitch out! Not to mention I want to get my damn car moving again so I can get it out of the garage when I have too many things going at once… like yesterday!

That gun works fantastic! Got that bolt off no sweat, after I put a shorter hose on the compressor though. I find the 50 footer works like crap and I should have known better!

Apparently a timing cover on a 3.8 does not come off easily. What I wouldn’t give to just have a normal old-school timing cover right now! I think the dowel pins are stuck in the cover so the damn thing won’t budge.

So today the timing cover came off. I replaced the timing gears with a proper set and have begun the reassembly of the engine portion of the project. Tomorrow it looks like the oil pan is going back on and the silicone will be flowing, LOL @ GM and their sillycone. After that its a snazzy new fuel pump and some new mufflers. Almost there!
