Well, this is going slower than I had planned due to other things coming up. I will start reassembly tomorrow. I got everything cleaned today. The old HG didn't look terrible; no obvious rips, tears, or blow-outs. Of course, it did fail, so I'm not saying it was perfect. The block looked good, thankfully. Sorry, no pictures.

I took the cooling fan clutch apart, and it was definitely low on silicone oil. So, I put some STP oil treatment in there. Believe it or not, the local Toyota parts guy suggested that since he said there was no other silicone oil readily available anywhere in the country. Anyway, I hope I didn't overdo it 'cause I filled it pretty full.
