Installing new carburetor. How do I fix the paper gasket between the block and the carb.

dont fix replace trying to fix damaged will cause failure down line just replace with new

A dab on the corners only, at the bolt holes.. You don't want to block any of the holes.

Use a putty knife to scrape old gasket from the engine block and the pan. Put a punch that is larger in diameter that the bolt holes of the pan in a vise and use a hammer to flatten the pan around the bolt holes before installing the new gasket so it won't squeeze the new gasket when you tighten the pan bolts.

things to check will be float level, main jet size for the engine capacity, power circuit operational, accelerator pump working, ignition timing
by installing a different carby , make sure that all the holes in the carby base are not blocked off by a gasket that has no holes

Nobody has messed around with the ignition timing in any way?



If it has stood for a long time(i.e years..) the fuel may have degraded to the point that it\'s useless.



The carbs will smell of fuel, but are you sure that fuel is being pumped to them in sufficient quantity? Try disconnecting a fuel line, crank the engine a few revolutions to see if fuel is pumped out.



Try gravity feeding the carbs. Use a can of fuel connected to the carbs, held above the engine. Get somebody to crank the engine and see if it fires up. If the engine fires up, suspect the fuel pump.. or fuel lines.



An air leak can also cause non-starting. The usual cause is the inlet manifold gasket. Any air leaking through the gasket can cause your non-starting problem. Go back and check that no dirt has been picked up by the gasket before you fitted it/it hasn\'t been ripped. Check that the inlet manifold has been correctly tightened.



It doesn\'t sound as though you have much of a problem .. more of a \'niggle\'.

The 22R engine is one of the best engines Toyota built.

With the head off, you should have had the head gasket surface machined and the head checked pressure checked for cracks. It seems you did so.

I can only assume, you MAY have put the bolts back in without bowing out the cylinder block bolt holes before installing the bolts. These bolt holes fill with oil and antifreeze when you remove the head.

Doesn't matter how careful you are, the bolt holes always fill with fluid.

If so, the bolt torque would be reached before full clamping of the cylinder head. Worst of all, the block could have been cracked by the hydraulic pressure in the bolt hole as you tightened the bolt.

This is if you have a carbuerator:



Identification of the mechanical fuel pump inlet and outlet tubes

1. Make sure the negative battery cable is disconnected. Have a metal cup handy to collect any fuel that may spill.
   
2. Place a drain pan under the oil filter, then remove the filter with a strap wrench or equivalent.
   
3. Disconnect the fuel and vapor lines, catching fuel that spills. Dispose of any spilled fuel safely.
   
4. Plug the fuel lines to prevent leaks.
   
5. Remove the attaching bolts and remove the fuel pump.
   

The fuel pump is NOT repairable. It must be replaced as a complete unit. Always use a new gasket when installing the pump and make certain that the gasket surfaces are clean.
To install:

1. Clean the fuel pump and engine block gasket surfaces of all old gasket material or dirt.
   
2. Position a new fuel pump gasket against the engine block, then situate the pump in position over the gasket with bolt holes lined up squarely. Install the retaining bolts and tighten them to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm).
   
3. Connect the fuel lines to the pump (always start fuel line connections by hand-before using a wrench to tighten) and tighten the fittings to 175 inch lbs. (20 Nm).
   
4. Clean the block surface, check the gasket, then install the oil filter, tightening it by hand only. If the gasket is damaged, replace the filter. Refer to Section 1 for the proper service procedures regarding oil filters.
   
5. Start the engine and check for leaks. Check the crankcase oil level and refill as necessary.
   

Okay....this is for the fuel pump:

It's on the side of your engine block.

Yes, remove all of the spark plugs, and test each cylinder individually. This will tell if the gasket has sealed properly. Once you get the engine running, do this again to see if it can hold combustion pressures.

The gaskets only line up one way with the engine block holes on most of the cars Ive worked on.Whichever way it lines up,if the lines are facing up or down theres the answer.Just make sure all of the water passages line up with the holes on the gaskets.
