Hey man, yea, you can get 3 is300 coils and swap them for your old ones. Itll help with idle and much cleaner look in my opinion. Also, ground your ignitor and that will help as well with a smoother idle.

well i personally took the head off a 88 supra sent it in to get ported and polished and they put all new valves in. then u GOT to clean the block off with genital care. I used break cleaner and emery paper and lots and lots of oil towels be genital cuz if u put deep scratches in the block it will leak. then torque the head on at 75 to 80 lbs. i torque mine to 75( i read up on another form that if u dont torque to 80 u'll got through head gaskets like crazy so you chose i went by book). i got my car when the engine was tore apart from my dad and the mechanic so i didn't know how they took it off (what parts go were)and bolts were missing so i had to have a guy finish it. but now its running and it halls ass XD if you need step by step instructions i have book so i can look it up
