Lozmachine Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is it okay just to take the top of the engine off then? Or are there certain things that need draining or anything? Is that the same with calipers? Heard they need draining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsoundcraft Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 You can take the rocker cover off without draining the oil out the engine. The only thing with the 3S-GE is getting to the rocker cover is quite a bit of work. Access to all the nuts and bolts is quite tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same with calipers? Heard they need draining? The 7AFE cam cover is very easy to take off. All you need to do is to remove the HT leads, remove the power cable going to alternator, then the four (10mm i think) bolts and lift off carefully. Paint the cover replace the seal then reverse the process. As for the inlet, this is a lot more involed. (doing this from memory) Remove intake piping, disconnet injector wiring remove TPS plug remove water pipes from TB remove all vacumm pipe going to inlet such as break booster, map sensor Then carefully remove the bolt attaching the inlet to the head think they are 12mm, and the brace holding the inlet up. Then you can wriggle the inlet off. I have probably missed out a few bits, but this is from memory from when i did it a fair few years ago. If you work at it methodically then it shouldn't be too much of a problem. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
