1989 Toyota Supra 7mge, 5 spd.
Mileage : 153,xxx
So guess what I got?...I got the BHG, Not really all that surprised...In any case I'd like a few questions answered if someone has the
extra time to instruct me on this procedure.For the most part, I get the jist of how it goes...But I do have a few questions.
1. I'm not dropping the entire motor, How do I get the timing cover area flush with the block deck if i"m leaving the short block in the vehicle?
2. If I have the head decked and get the smallest amount taken off, Can I still use an OEM Toyota Head gasket ?..
or Will I have to compensate for even the smallest amount of head taken off?.. && Yes, I'm going to use ARP Head bolts.
3. If I have any burnt, pitted etc valves...What valves would be the best for reliability & longevity....?
Obviously, Im not chasing a HP goal, I just want a reliable and fun to drive Supra.. Any help would be nice.
I also saw a thread quite a while back about rebuilding the 7mge/7mgte but couldt find it, If anybody has it saved I'd appreciate it. =]
