Pretty sure that's going to cause low compression across all 6 cylinders when I put it back together. -AM3

I’m not sure what you are suggesting here. I need a torque plate to properly bore the cylinders. -AM3

After a career change, a house, a marriage, a baby, a pandemic, and another career change, I am ready to get back to work on the Supra. First order of business is building the engine the way I should have 13 years ago. Does anyone have a 7M torque plate that they are willing to rent out or sell...

I've had my Supra for 9 years. It has spent more time in the garage while I try to save money for repairs. After the last time it broke, I lost all motivation to work on it and I haven't touched it in about 3 years. With any luck at all, I will finally have money to build a proper motor for it...

I have only owned an 87 Supra, so I can't answer any of your questions. But I do suggest you consider keeping the air bags. From a liability standpoint, if you have a passenger and get in an accident that results in them getting hurt, the insurance company might question why there were no air...

Overheating, cussing, and spending more time in the garage than on the road is normal. Welcome to Supra ownership, they're great cars when they run, mine has spent most of its life in the garage (usually more to do with budget) but on those 3-5 days a year I do get to drive it, its worth it. -AM3

Order the helicoil kit from Driftmotion. Its a common problem with the 7M, and that kit does a great job fixing it. -AM3

I have been doing a lot of work for my dad's business recently. Most of the fleet are Chevy Express 1500s, but there is also a Dakota, and some others may get added. I have finally gotten tired of going to the auto parts store every time I need a code read, and between the company fleet and...

This is what I do typically do when I store the car. Store with 1/4 tank of gas or less. You can add Stabil, but I usually don't. Remove the battery. That way it won't slowly drain or start leaking while it sits for months. Store battery in a warm area with a battery maintainer hooked up. This...

Oh my god, I had forgotten about him. He did set the standard pretty low, but Yukioda might give him a run for his money. -AM3

Oh my... Ok, first you have a bearing clearance issue. You might also have a piston slap. What did you use to check your piston and oil clearances? If your response is anything along the lines of "nothing" or "what are those?" then you need to tear the motor down. After that you need to stop...

It looks like my engine will be coming out soon, so my only question is this: Never-go-back Black or Ricer Red? Seriously though, it sounds like this is a decent kit and other members have been happy with the quality and durability, so I think I can justify this over OEM. -AM3

Considered selling it. -AM3

How far are you willing to travel? -AM3
