    Is there a special water hook up '89 Volvo 285?

    Is there a special set of muffs that you use on an '89 Volvo 285? The set I have for my old 2000 Volvo wouldn't allow the water to get up to the pump at the front of the engine. Put the outdrive in 1/2 a barrel and the pump worked fine. If it matters the engine is a 5.7. Thanks.

    Any Toyota techs here?

    I'm looking for the banjo bolt size on a 93 4Runner with the 3.0L where you would hook up a fuel pressure tester. I'm thinking it is M12-1.25. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

    Any toyota mechanics here?

    Does any one know for sure if the 3.0 v-6 from a Camary would be a direct swap for a 3.0 v-6 in a 4 Runner? I realize the oil pan and exhaust manifolds will need to be swapped. My biggest concern is the major bolt holes will line up. Can anyone confirm this swap can be done? Thanks in advance.
