I just rated this thread with 5 stars for the new pics.

Sweet! Thanks!

Just found out it's got a leaky crank seal...wonder if that's my low idle oil pressure issue...

wow. I remember when my buddy marvin sill had this rare beauty. I tried to convince him to keep it, but i guess he needed the money. I'm glad it went to you though. Nice paint job too.

Great car you got there mmm did you say 2jz.:icon_razz

Got quoted $354 for a new crank seal...insane. Looks like i'll be swapping motors sooner than i thought.

I REALLY want to convert to a 2JZ motor, but i had planned on that farther in the future...I might have to bite the bullet and do one of 2 things...

1. Rebuild or swap another 7M...which i REALLY don't want to do.
2. 1JZ swap...which i also don't really want to do.

All i can hope is that this oil leak doesn't get any worse and just add a half a quart every couple of days....

go 1jz and don't look back

:love: Wow! Your car looks sweeett.....You made the right choice painting it black, it's the BEST color for a MKIII IMO, that teal was just....ughhh :barf: Regardless of how rear it is

 

[Jo3f1sh]

OH YEAH...we've got rod knock. Cylinder #1. New short block anyone? Don't see a 1 or 2J in my future anytime soon. :3d_frown:

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to go 2J. All that car needs is a jz and it will be a 10. Great work. I cant believe the bay turned out as nice as it did without pulling the engine.

I too was quite impressed. There's a few areas on the firewall that i need to touch up, but shouldn't be too hard.

Lately i've toyed with the idea of just going 2JZ-GE-T for now...i just can't stand the distributor sticking out of the head...anyone know if there's there a coil pack conversion for it?

I'd just go GTE from the get go. you wont regret it man. And in a car that beautiful it deserves only the best!

ya, run the 7M electronics on the 2JZ-GE, check out the other engine forum, a few threads on there have info on doing that

Can you take better pic of how you routed your stock bypass valve or explain it? where is the other end connected to?
