parked up in the ny area

[lagged]

mine is out side of my house where it has sat since the end of october. im pulling the motor out AGAIN and tearing it down to have the machine work done to install a MHG.

it SUCKS working in this weather.

[Grenadian7mgte]

:offwall: I must have the supra bug real bad guys cause i really have no problem working on the supra year round until there is absolutly nothing left to do and i really dont see that happening any time soon:evil2: Hey lagged if you need a hand one day pullin the engine out gimme a shout!

[lagged]

thanks for the offer. i have just lost a bit of my ambition, thats why its not done yet. last february i had just pulled this motor for a rebuild, put the motor back in, blew a HG in the summer. so i pulled the head with the motor in the car and replaced that, and just recently i took the car on a trip up to boston, HG blew AND an oil line let go causing an oil fire. i spent 7 hours repairing my wire harness, not to mention i had to have the car towed back to my house while it was around 175 miles away.

ill have the motor out by the end of this week, just have to find time around work and finals for this semester to do the job.

Lagged..I am always willing to help a fellow supra lover, so when ever.I work night for now so most of the day i dig up in the supra.Today i am going to take out seats,carpet and some moldings to run my wires for my music properly.I did a quick rebuilt a couple of weeks ago and damaged the hg putting it on and had to spend eight hours replacing the hg and now i get some smoke when i gear down to a stop so i am asuming its the valve seals.so we all have supra issues(CHEER UP NO BIG DEA WE CANT FIX):evil2:

Be carefull,it can turn from a small knock to a big one in minutes,check your oil every day and let it warm up real good before driving.I'm telling you this cause i just had to change my bearings a couple of weeks ago from hearing a little rod knock and letting the oil ru down to low and that was that.

yeah i am checking it everyday, not pushing it just using it like a grocery getter right now. Well i have to do an oil change soon and was wondering if there is any find of oil out there that might help reduce the damages of rod knock?

nothing. dont fool your self.

if you are planning on keeping that motor and rebuilding it, STOP DRVING THE CAR NOW.

if you are gonna pick up another motor then by all means, run it into the ground.

I am in the flatbush area,When i had to change my hg a couple of weeks ago it was about 30 degrees so your not alone freezing your butt off for the supra.It took about eight hours to do and that included running back and forth do defrost my fingers.:evil2:

Lagged is wright about the oil and not driving it but if thats what you got to get you around then i would just put 10/40 because of the winter,you dont want to go to thick now cause it will not get up to the head quick enough on cold start upand cause further damage,and take it easy real easy.:evil2:

Today im going to check a couple sensors and try to find out why i am burning so rich and nothing is coming up in the cpu so off i go.Later guys

[joliroger4]

Year round baby! I got too much to do, cold can't stop me.

:2ar15: Now thats what i am talking about.today i found out i really need an entire wire harness cause every time i unplug something a wire breaks off,i had to do a quick repair on the plug for my (isc),when i start up cold it didnt want to stay idling turned out to be one wire off the plug was broke.:icon_evil If you need a hand.........

[joliroger4]

Thanks man, lemme know if you need anything.

[Grenadian7mgte]

Thanks man, lemme know if you need anything.

Thanks,for the next few months i will be focusing on uprading my braking system,steering and handling and other small thing in between as always.I have abs and my brakes lock up if i mash hard,steering is tough to turn with car on and the bearings in the back wheels are shot.Today i am going to change my front wheel hub and spindle.Later!
