I got my Silver Gen7 140bhp out of winter hibernation a bit later than normal this year at the beginning of June, flew through the MOT, just replaced the original Radiator after 18 years and 163k miles
Tips for valve cover gasket. You will need some high temp silicone(~300C "reinzosil" or other) on 2parts where timing chain cover meets, also i didnt see 2 O-ring seals for 2bolts in middle of valve cover i dont know if they are necessary but my valve cover gasket(ELRING) came with them. I almost destroyed valve cover cuz forgot there was 2 bolts left in the middle :D
sadly ridex didnt come with gasket. Today i got my AISIN pump it has gasket and even says on box MR2 1zz Celica 1zz, its nice to see celica listed on part, usually most parts i buy aftermarket for celica says Corolla e12 corolla verso Prius 1st gen :D
You will probably loose around 3 ltrs or so. 1zzfe hold around 6 / 7 ltrs. I always order the concentrate if I can or ready to use. They come in 5ltr bottles ready to use so you should have some spare. 😎👍
@@KyushaStyleTuning guess my 0.8L left over wont be enough :D gonna pick 5L G12/G12+, it aint expensive when u work at autoparts store :D. i saw u got some crazy spec G13 mannol -40C in UK :D hope it mixes well with your current coolant. standart red LL should be fine for me

Thanks for the tip. Yeh didn’t come with the center gaskets. 🙄. Had to re use the old ones. Video coming soon.

I was a bit disappointed with the Ridex water pump. No O ring gasket and no longer bolts. Seems to be ok though. Hopefully. 😂
@KyushaStyleTuning did i miss or you didnt mention. is there still that sound after shutting engine down ?
Different sound now. The AC compressor clutch is sticking. 🙄. Another job on the list.
since i plan changing waterpump and thermostat this weekend. i wanted to ask how much coolant do you think i will lose and need to buy.
