So I've gone and worked my ass off the last week, finally getting all my shit back together so I can get my car running. This is what I did *Used head from a member, cleaned, new seals, reshimmed springs, clearences set, planed flat. *Smooth block surface, minor pitting. Cleaned out...

Got my block cleaned up real nice but I noticed some pitting, and thought I'd share a few pictures on here and get some insight as to how bad it is? This is the intake side, very smooth Thoughts? My plan was to have my head perfectly planed, and use a OEM composite headgasket...

Tells me its warped by 8 thousands, and he'd have to take off another 15 thousands because of the firing groove? which means a total of 23 thousands.. and basically he told me he thinks the aluminum softenend, and i was like shit i was really hoping it didnt anneal. and i pretty much fucked...

Why wont it come off? I took all the throttle body stuff off, and i got the main part with the cold start injector and etc that I need to get off so I can move the wiring and pull the head, but it wont come off. I took off all the mounting bolts, tried to unbolt the egr? on the firewall side...

Ok, ordered a gasket kit off ebay, oem HG, staying stock, and N/A, so it should work fine right? I plan on having the head flattened, dont really want to mess with the block unless I have to. I'll clean out the threads. My main questions are: Copper seal spray on the HG? Does ARP...

Finally got the job at autozone, and had to drive up to omaha for a "foundations class" before we can start. After paperwork we decide me and this other guy will ride up with a commercial driver that was hired. We started talkin bout cars on the way up, I meantioned having my 86.5 supra, and...

Went to go drive my supra a couple miles to get my brother, just to move it around a bit. Turned the key. No start, alot of clicks, the rpms got up to like 400 or sumthin (didnt start) and the car vibrated slightly. I turned the key w/o the clutch in and heard a click in the back (normal?)...

@ autozone ! I worked at O' Reillys for 10 months and really liked it until I got fed up with having to be a translator for stupid people (was in ethnic part of town). And I REALLY miss the discounts + access to parts.. and randomly today I got a call from them after I applied 2 months ago. I...

So I figured I'd post this up cuz this car is pissing me off lol. Had it an hour away, blew a coolant hose, started to overheat, replaced the hose, no major damage I believe But ever since I've bought it, its ran like crap. I did a full tune up on it (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) which wasnt...

Hey guys, name is Justin and I just bought my... 5th vehicle? And it happens to be a 86.5 Supra MK3, N/A and a 5 speed (w58). I got the car for $1,000 on the dot, with it having a couple misses and a bad power steering groan. Did a full tune-up and still have a miss but I think a rebuild...
