Sorry ive been gone for a while, noob... hmm right, do you have a 7mge that lifts sinks and rips? if you dont know what i mean by that then you probably dont. unless you got a 7mge lifting the front off the ground dont assume anything. i was asking for the original happy spot at that...

you could have said 10deg. dont need a manuel, i know how timing of an engine works.

So I'm not complaining cause my supra is running amazing after all the head work (yes all timing was marked with grease pin) any who I got curious of original timing and noticed its sitting at 20degree mark on timing cover, what is it supposed to sit at. Like I said she runs amazing so idk just...

got distracted and forgot to take photos of a few things and now im wondering where they go. LOL head job/p&p/ top end rebuild complete have almost everything back together. ive got 3 plugs i've lost track of where they go "intake side" (2) of them are almost the same style as the...

your right, motors been out befor, cylinders have discolor indication which suggests to me at some point rings on 2 cylinders had been broke and walls ball honed, the walls do have very nice cross hatching still for 170k miles. head intake valves were clean as a whistle very minimul build up...

Started tearing motor apart so I can do machine work and noticed my 7m-ge block is red, is there any difference like other Toyota engines between thier red black and or silver top motors?

so i was noticing some differences and a question arised in my head. i noticed my 7mge differes from 1989 photos got to looking at the block at the motors marked ma73, anyone car to shed some light other then it being a a70 series, like is there any differences or things for me to keep my...

Update: Radiators and hoses are on order whole top ends been ported and polished and i gave her new wires do to a mistake on my end that mess the old ones up.

F00g00 you are correct Cts is coolant temp sensor some people also refer to it as a ets. Cts is the sensor that the ecu reads on 7mge its located buy the thermostat housing under the gauge temp sensor. Gauge temp sensor will be one wire while the Cts is a two wire. Cheap replace is a gm sensor...

Update: New tire is on and plans will continue as planned Next mechanical prep will be installing a full aluminum 3 core radiator and new hoses This will help keep temps down and help a little bit in the long run

Quick update Cts was also bad so that's been replaced No more boiling over or over flowing So thats following replaced Cts Radiator cap Radiator flush

Projects going to be delayed for a little while, just blew out one of my rear 430$ tires... 255/40R18 93w Z1 run flat dunlop...run flat doesn't help when something in road pierces the inside tire lol

Like my previous message stated, it was the cap. Its been over a see with fresh clean coolant in system and new cap and I am neither boiling or overflowing the reservoir. Granted bhgs are common on this car but it doesn't mean that's the first thing you tell people to replace. Sometimes its the...
