7MGE - Stuck with changing Head Gasket???

[Bill UK]

The correct name for that hose connection is Water BY-Pass Pipe. The socket size is 32mm (six flats), I made the mistake in ordering just one part number from Toyota without realising there are 3 parts to order. I refitted my head and waited for the remaining parts to arrive, I had a problem gaining access to tighten the nut up due to the bulkhead in the way. I resolved the problem by grinding down the 32mm socket but even then it was a tight squeeze.

Part numbers 90401-22004 Bolt Union 1 off,

90405-17005 Water By-Pass Pipe 1 off,

90430-22008 Gaskets 2 off,

These are old part numbers but Toyota should be able to identify them.



Hope this helps Bill UK

the fuel pressure line under the intake will hold the head on and it goes through the intake and is held on at the back of the fuel rail

make sure all wiring plugs have been unplugged, all fuel lines, and the water hoses at the back are removed from the main water pipe which goes under the exhaust manifold

can't think of anything in particular that may be holding... stick you hand all around the intake & exhaust side and just feel around

at what area is it holding down?

We havent disconnected all the wiering completly, but the fuel rail is already off, and the top half of the intake and also everyting on the fron + exhaust sides. And I cant really tell what area its holding down casue the studs that hold it in place (dowls??) stop you from angeling it.

Any other ideas? WE'll go have another look now .
