    after I assembled the Tonka Toy, I put new injectors in my 97 Tacoma 4x4... Trying to find a hose, and gasket, and I broke a plastic vacuum thingy on the power steering system...

    Well, I got it together, I made a couple scratches. So I sprayed some of the yellow Krylon paint in the cap to do touch-ups with a brush. This paint is so crappy. I sprayed 6 coats and it ran like water. Sure enough the paint was so watered down, when I dipped the brush it just dripped off and did not even stick to the brush..

    The breather is directly connected to the port in the top of the centrifugal filter pad. I put air to it and it only connects to the port. when did you replace the centrifugal filter last? is the filter housing dented bad enough to stop the filter from spinning? is the spindle worn so bad that it stops the filter from spinning? before you drop the oil pan, check the centrifugal filter setup.. post pics of the housing and the spindle focusing on where the filter spins.

    You need too. Those stop bolts have been known to fall out, and that puts a lot of stress on the steering system, from the box to all the linkages...

    Look behind the spindles on the back should be a large hex or square head bolt with a jam nut. It stops againsnt the triangular bump outs on the axle beam. If you are over steering, you will have a slow to no return on its own.

    That will set the turning radius, theres one on top too. Are your steering stop bolts in place and adjusted correctly?

    Dammit.....

    He definately needs to do some diagnostics. He may just have an issue in the oil filter pad, like a check valve. Fi some reason I have forgotten the how its made. But i do have one in my shop that I can photograph..

    loose steering joints. U-Joints, tie rod ends, drag link ends.....

    F.Y.I. this is NOT a rattle can rebuild. I measure the journals, and conter bore depth and I also dress the counter bores and shim the liners. These liners are within .002" across the deck. I also have all my notes on paper from diss assembly through reassmbly. The heads are spot on as well. Just a little insight on this one. Jojo

    Mike, I have a long block that is built with steel lifters and the high horsepower cam key installed. I also have the bolt-on parts. PM 880joe and keep me in the loop..

    Oh Hell !!

    Is it a sheppard steering box. I think you can leave it mounted, and pull the sector shaft out to replace the rear seal. Its been a while for me..
  18. Joey Mack
    You can drop the oil pan and pressure test the cooling system to 16 P.S.i. and look for coolant leaking around the bottom of the liners.

    I find it interesting that the steering shaft slip joint that is under the dash in an American R Model, is at the steering box. Although, I dont see the steering box, just assuming..
  20. Joey Mack
    Ok. Tight as it will go then back it off to the next slot for the cotter pin

    Gas is $3:59- $3.89/ gallon

    All the EUP lifters are steel.. the valve lifter became ceramic in around 2002. Steel lifters are my go-to... the intake bridges were changed when heads with pinless intakes was introduced.. spring loaded pushrods were for the backcut on the exhaust cam lobes on the new style cam shaft. A Real E-Tech did NOT use spring loaded pushrods.. Im going to stop here, as more info needs to be posted. What is the basic goal of your question?

    I wish I am The buyer... but I really do have plenty to do. I also swapped for the 76 C-10 big block truck that needs my attention.. Its a rare bird, and will fit nicely in my mini collection..

    Did you unplug the big plug on the turn signal switch to see if the lights go out?
