I am so incredibly frustrated right now. I had my dad come over tonite to help me diagnose why the 7M wont start after rebuild. I get everything ready and hook the battery up. I was sort of messing with the distributor making sure the rotor was at #1 when I started smelling a burning wire smell...

Apparently I have lost two of my flywheel bolts. Can I just get the same size high strength bolt at Lowes? Or is there something special about them that I needto go to the dealer for?

Is there a way you can tell if a clutch is still in good useable condition. The PO said before the engine died he put a new clutch in the car. I am almost done assembling this JDM engine I got. I have a new throw out bearing for it but my well is running dry and if this clutch is ok I would like...

I got this pipe off the 7M I dont remember where it goes and the manual is not telling. Anyone recognize it and let me know where it goes on the 7M please

Reassembling my JDM 7M I have got #1 at TDC and I assume I have my cam pulley marks lined up with the notches as per the factory manual. Now maybe since my Distributor was already out this section may not apply. Page IG-17 describes how to remove the distributor. Why would you set at TDC then...

I need to stop by the hardware store and get a hex key big enough to put those 4 cap screw things back in the head. They are the big ones that are down the center of the spark plug valley of the 7M. I guess they hold down the cover the plug wires go into. Also there is one with a hole in the...

I am assembling the 7M on an engine stand. There is no way I will be able to tighten it like the manual says too. I am thinking a length of flat bar stock and drill it out and bolt it to the back of the crank with the flywheel bolts and then when the metal bar stops the crank from turning...

My friend that works at a Toyota dealership got me an OEM HG for my 7M at a good discount. He lives in Texas though and had to mail it to me. USPS was not kind to it on its journey to Virginia. The box took a good hit and was bent. The HG looks ok viewing it from the top but it has a slight...

I got a call that the machine shop was done with the head off my JDM 7M. It did not cost me as much as I thought it would. Here are some pics I thought I would show it off. Now the mad rush of reassembly begins.

So my car came to me after sitting for 5 years with a full tank of gas. I puled the tank from the car today and and emptied it. Alot of rust came out with the last of the old gas. Is there a good way to clean this thing? I probably will have to change fuel pumps I suppose too. I also...

I am getting ready to buy an oil pump for my JDM 7M. I just want to confirm from the experts this is the right unit before I buy it...

So out of fear of screwing up I am stuck. I dont have alot of money to put into this and need to do it as cheaply as possible. I just want a nice daily driver. I am not building a race car. I have the head off my JDM motor for a head gasket. The JDM looks pretty good except for some rust in the...

I am getting set to pull this dead motor out of my 89. I assumed that the trans would drop down a bit after that rear trans mount was removed but it did not. I have the motor mount bolts loose and the trans feels loose. Will it fall enough for the shift lever to come out of that rubber boot and...

I was stripping parts off my 7MGE to get it ready for removal. While I was removing the exaust I noticed the endge of the oil pan appeard to be bent. Then I noticed that the bracket from the motor mount to the bell housing was broken. Then I found the melted bearing that broke my bracket trapped...

I searched but past threads seemed to get off topic and did not nail down an answer. A '90 Cressida has come up for sale cheap locally. Can I take the 7M out of that and swap all the components from my old siezed engine onto the Cressida 7M and install to my 5 speed '89 Supra? I realize the oil...

I am needing a motor from my '89 N/A so if any of you see or hear about a wrecked Supra or Cressida with a good motor can you let me know. Would like something as close to Broadway Va as possible Thanks Matt

I have been looking at these JDM engines. Can you use your exsisting USDM electronics on them? Matt

I apologize if this has been covered before and did not see much about my issue. I picked up a 1989 n/a and brought it home today. The PO said that after a new distributor was installed the car just died on him while driving. The PO had someone tell him the motor was siezed. I put a good...

Hi my name is Matt I am in Broadway Va. I just recently finished getting my 87 MR2 where wanted it to be with a newly swapped in 4AGZE and was looking for another project car. An 89 Supra N/A Targa top came up for sale locally and I bought it to tinker around with. The previous owner is claiming...
