    Burning oil and smoking after fresh rebuild!

    Okay so I just got finished rebuilding my 7m-ge. I am still in the process of breaking it in (250 miles ATM, but this is my daily) and I am smoking lots of blue smoke. Usually I know that it's whatever oil deposits that are in the exhaust, cat, or whatever that is burning so I didn't mind it...

    86.5 Foglight Rewire...Blowing my fuses!!

    Okay starting off I have an 86.5. I know that is crucial information because I guess the wiring is categorized into three sections. The pre89 does not cover 86.5; they're a separate entity? 86.5 87-88 89+ Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. So this is what I did: I cut the...

    Crank Pulley and Timing Pulley

    Possible Bad Piston Rings??

    Okay so I'm buying a supra and it has some engine problems. I'm merely curious about what the problem might be. So far I ruled out the blown head gasket but my friend said it might be the piston rings. The problem is that the car right now has blue smoke and smoke is blowing out of the hole...

    Puff of Smoke if car sits for a while
