thanks guys. Have only got back in the shed tonight, dam life keeps getting in the road. The vacuum hose is not the proper vacuum hose, will replace this weekend. The hose im using did not suck flat, but i'll replace it anyway. I've tested the one way valve, and that was fine. To pull the...

Thanks sideshow. I'll drop down to the wreckers tomorrow and see what i can find. I thought the one way valve on the booster is all that was needed.

Thanks guys, Rod, you say "vacuum valve on the servo " whithout sounding stupid, where is that? Sideshow,the one way valve - where is that? All i have is the fitting that bolts to the back of the manifold. Black hose from that to the booster. thanks again

Thanks for the reply. I can't remember what figures i was getting but it was much lower then 50-68kilopascals. Its a standard engine, so its not a high overlap cam problem. That leaves me with maybe the line where im measuring from is blocked. Measured from the rear port at the back of the...

Im having trouble with my brakes being hard. They have always been hard, as like with no booster. Its a new booster. As its in a project car, ive measured all piston sizes/master cylinder size and it all measures out. We tested the vacuum coming off the engine (crown) and it was low. Is there...

For some stupid reason, i thought i would re-wire my crown..... anyway. It use to run fine. Crown auto. The problem i seem to have is it will not change gears. Without the ect connected, it changes gears like a manal. With it all connected, i get first in Drive, but it just revs out and will not...

Thanks for that Rod. Pulled it out today and asked Toyota, they wanted $13 each and not in stock. Tried Burson's and they had them in stock for $1.70 (trade). If it helps for anyone else, Bursons part number for them is RBC30MM.

Just found a welsh plug leaking. Does anyone know the part number for the welsh plugs for a crown 1uz (rear right plug)? Im desperate to get one this week and hope the local toyota dealer have them. Also, any tips on replacing them? thanks

ah, ok. Well i don't have that. Thanks again.

Thanks madmont, i'll try and order those ones and see. Whats a three prong fitting?

Does anyone have the part number for the crown rear gearbox seal? I ordered 90311-42024 but its to small in diameter for the crown gearbox. thanks

That simple? Cool. Thanks guys. If anyone thinks we need a tech article, i'll write one up.

hahahaha, step one done. Anyone else for step two?

Looking for info on how to replace the rear engine seal on a 1UZ crown. If someone knows how, i can add pics to the txt and add to lextreme.

Thanks rod, thats what i was kind of thinking. Didn't know if anyone else had done it. Im also trying to think of a way to still keep the p/s but maybe use a smaller pump?? or spin the p/s around and sit it in front of the motor - but would have to find a pump that runs backwards to the crown...
