So a few months ago my supra got rod knock. I finally got around to pull the engine out and getting it to a machine shop to have it checked out. Turns out the noise was coming from #6 rod bearing. However, the damage to the bearing was very minimal. The shop also found that my crank had some damage. They found the rear thrust bearing in my oil pan, and my front thrust bearing was destroyed. We still are not sure what caused damage to my front thrust bearing. The shop said it was very unusual because my crank was some how being pushed back toward the tranny. So they arent sure what was causing that to happen. Any ideas??
Anyway, I got another crank, all new bearings, and new piston rings. The block was honed and hot tanked. And all the other work goes into rebuilding the motor. The head was in great condition, so that was good. The engine is still at the machine shop, they are waiting for the crank to come then get it all back together!
In the mean time I have some new goodies for the supra. We have also cleaned and painted the engine bay
New parts:
76mm turbo
Front facing intake manifold
Maft translator
4 inch intake pipe
Bigger intercooler and all 3 inch intercooler pipes
76mm turbo
FFIM
4 inch intake pipe, with pcv port welded on
And here is the progress on painting the engine bay. We painted it black because I'm going to be having the whole car painted black at some point. This isn't a very good picture, was taken on a cell phone. But it looks great, and the paint is gloss black.
I will add more pictures as the progress continues!! Just let me know what you think!
