Taking it to orlando wouldn't be that big of a deal imo. I'd get a leakdown test done locally first tho.

Those brake pads that someone told me (not naming names :argh: ) absolutely do NOT fit the Prado. Nothing from the kit does because it's looking for a slightly larger caliper for everything to fit.

I have never done one but a head gasket on a Toyota straight six should be doable in your driveway? I’ve done plenty of 4 cylinder Toyota and Honda’s with no garage just follow the steps and clean the deck good

I did one in the driveway on a 1FZ-FE (4.5L inline 6). I bet it is bad on cylinder 6, Toyota inline 6 love to blow there. I'm assuming it has something to do with intake manifold shape or the EGR causing that cylinder to run hotter or something.

I did the daddy of the JZ, a 7M on my driveway. It was awkward but definitely doable and it was my first ever foray into car repair, so I kinda jumped in the deep end on that one. The 7M definitely suffered from re-circulation of the exhaust around the back of the head causing 6 in particular to get stupid hot.

He only has a carport but I suggested he could do all the teardown one night and put the parts in the car and close the hood then finish in the morning of gently caress all that noise and gimmie the car for a grand.

Kaker, you were most of the way there when you did the timing belt.

As an alternative, have you checked the torque on the head bolts? You can get at them easily enough.

I once did the head gasket on my girlfriend's '78 Celica (20R) in the parking lot of our apartment. First head gasket ever done (it wasn't the head gasket that was the problem...)

See: anyone who has dealt with him outside of cars.

He's also a lazy gently caress. He doesn't do comedy specials, or allow ANY of his poo poo to be recorded, because then he has to write new poo poo. He basically still performs his same set from the 80s today, and freely admits it's only because he won't allow it to be recorded.

He's a douche.

I have his signature, and had to search his team's bags before they left our compound, but he's a giant loving mega ultra kyles mom sized douche.

Yeah that whole huge public thing where he brute forced his way back into the Tonight Show is all the evidence anyone needs. Conan signed an NDA so the full details won't come forth any time soon but it's pretty clear that Leno is a huge dick.

And even thought my friend doesn't like to gossip (so i will), Leno tried repeatedly to buy his bike and just refuses to take no for an answer and has been a bothersome rear end about it.
The bike in question




Edit: I can't believe we had to have a "this is WHY Jay Leno is a lovely person" chat.

Leno sucks rear end as a comedian so I don't really care too much about that, I also don't really care too much about Conan or anything so really the only Leno I know about is cars so :toot:

I like Jay Leno's Garage on the Youtoobs because he is absolutely a car guy through and through. He might be a irl prick but when he's just shooting the poo poo about cars it's a nice time. Sometimes poo poo gets flubbed though and I wonder about the AZ-1 thing since you know it's going to be filled with dad jokes of the 'heh TUNA CANS' jokes.

Because even when dealing woth just cars if there isn't a camera around he's a loving prick. Period, end of story.

I've run into him multiple times on backroads/canyons, both woth and without film crews. With film? Greatest guy ever! Without? If he wasn't rich he'd get punched in the loving throat and feel lucky that's all that happened.

Also that bike is awesome but yeah that front end is stiffer than any other piece on the thing. I can't imagine trying to brake and turn in.

His car videos are OK, but I just wish it was someone else presenting them. He's not exactly very funny to begin with, and he makes the same dozen jokes over and over again. Also any time he has to speak to someone else about their car then you can see his eyes glaze over as soon as the other person starts talking, and he's just "yeah uh-huh" the whole time until its his turn to speak again.

If they turn out to be true? There's like hundreds of testimonials in the Google search results AND the very public theft of the Tonight Show from Conan. Jay Leno is an rear end in a top hat. I can't wait for that NDA to expire so Conan can tell everything that he did.
