Part One: I have been restoring it for a few months now, and have just completed my first stage resto/mods. I picked the car up back in May for $350, and it sat until August. This is what it looked like when I got it home. Since then I have put about another $1700 into and and probably 100...

When rebuilding my 7m I used the metal gasket that came w/the kit to replace the metal one that was on it. It is leaking and the bolts are torqued to the correct setting. I don't remember if I sprayed it with copper coat or not. It is unlikely I did seeing how it isn't exposed to heat like...

Is there any reasoning other than better fit behind the way the 3000 pipe is reduced where it connects to the IC piping. I will be fabricating my 2.5" IC pipes this weekend, and had planned on doing away with it.

I am in the process of rebuilding the car and I wasn't involved in the initial tear down, however, I am pretty sure I have every hose(water/air/vacuum) and every metal fitting accounted for except for these two nipples on the bottom of the radiator: It was dark after I installed the radiator...

Is it common for Clevitt main bearings to not align w/both oil holes on the block. Both of the #1 oil holes line up, but only one of the #3 holes line up, and the other about 3/32 off. Was the block drilled wrong? Should I drill the bearing out on the one side to align with the hole, or is...

I have been pricing internals for my 7mgte, and need some opinions on the quality of parts from Partsdinosaur. Only reason why I am asking is that their prices are about half of my local imports only store prices, which is again about half the of the local dealership(where I can get a 20%...

I am in the process of restoring an '87. I have the engine torn down to fix the low comp, the rod knock(no bearings left on #3), and clean off all the oil that leaked from the pan(couple bolts in the front weren't tight). During the pull down I checked the turbo for shaft play, and it does...

I am new to Supra's and I am rebuilding an '87 Turbo. When I bought it I was told that it had a rod knock, it was partially disassembled, so I have no idea if it really does. I was thinking if all that was wrong was a bad rod bearing, I would pull the engine, remove the pan, check the...

I wanted to wait before posting my build Q's, but got a warning that I said i could be dropped for not posting. I picked up my 1st MkIII the first of May, it is an '87 Targa 5-spd w/ a sun bearing. My plans are either to simply rebuild the engine resto the interior, fender dent and cracked...

Hello I am a new MKIII owner. I have been batting around the idea of a Supra rebuild project for several years now, and I have been waiting for the right project(5-spd turbo Targa) to come along for a right price. I picked up the '87 Turbo w/ a spun bearing for $350. The car itself is in...
