head bolts tool
Hi All,
I'm currently on a middle of a new gasket for my 88 Supra 7M GE. The repair manul says we have you use SST 09043-38100 for these bolts....where would I find this tool? None of my existing tools works for this procedure... I see that my air intake connector is pretty dirty. Is that a good idea to clean it with carb/choke cleaner? Thank you! |
What bolts are you talking about? I don't know of any that require a special tool.
If you mean the pipes that connect the throttle body to the MAF sensor then yes, you can clean them with carb cleaner, but DO NOT try to clean the MAF sensor with carb cleaner!! Good luck! |
10mm allen key wrench socket (the longer the better) Make sure you locate the 10mm Allen wrench right to the bottom of head bolt (clean out any muck in the bolt head first) and keep it as vertical as possible, you will need to turn the cams to gain access to four of the bolt heads depending how long your wrench is. Before you do anything make sure the block is drained of coolant.

This type of socket.

I bought a 6" long one from Matco Tools. Snap-On and Mac have them too.

Alright...Thank you All !
will but it tomorrow.... |
You guys may think me ignorant. But it works.
I went to lowes. I bought a 4 inch long bolt with a head that fit my needs. I bought a 2 inch long 2 way adapter type nut. I used red loctite on it. It's what I use when I hit that portion of the engine. It cost me less that $4. |
That is interesting solution...I'll think about it
Thank you! |
I use a similar type solution. If you have lots of metric hardware around find a long bolt, two matching nuts, turn the nuts onto the end of the bolt, and lock them together. If you find its still slipping you can destry the threads of your toyota SST with a flat head screw driver. Might save a trip to the store....
