Yea, It looks that way. I mean I can still use the switch I have- It just won't light up is all. Oh well. Thanks for your help dude. Yesterday I just put a little jumper wire between the 2 terminals in the diag block before I went for a little drive to see if there's any noticeable difference in...

I just recently decided to try this mod, through the old SOGI method. But of course, I just wasn't satisfied with a simple on off switch. So I bought an LED green illuminated on/off toggle switch at the auto parts store (lights up green in the on position) the light is a perfect match for the...

Yea, I'll definitely cosign that. Always at the very least have a shop check the head for flatness. Doing all that work without having it checked is taking a big risk.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Yea that's what I thought. I mean I did it the first time so taking it apart is no issue for me. I guess Im just paranoid about screwing something up again. Plus I really don't have the space to do it at my house- other than in the street :/ . Yea I thought 600 was pretty good too. And I like...

Ok I called a couple of shops near me that work on our cars to get an estimate on the hg job. The first shop, was recommended by a SM member. Said 600 plus the cost of parts (new toyota gasket) told me I need new bolts too. Is that true? I've heard of people reusing arp bolts. Second shop told...

Maybe instead of coming off like a total dick you should have taken the time to read my other posts/threads. Then you would know that I just had the head rebuilt, and put new hoses in already. You don't fucking know me, so don't act like you do. Anyone who does will tell you I'm far from a...

Ah i see. Thanks man.

^ have you used them?

Well, I'm still trying to decide how I should deal with it this time around. Do I just pull it apart, get a toyota gasket, throw it back together? Or should I find a local shop that works on 7Ms to do it? :/ Just not sure yet.

Yea, I had the same problem. Either they can't hear it ringing most of the time or they're just not in the shop often. I had ordered their ct26 easy install oil line kit. They didn't have any all ready to go so I waited about a month before it arrived. Installed real nice & no leaks tho.

Ok in my other threads I wrote about the troubles my 7M has had in the past 6 months or so. Well, they're still not ironed out unfortunately. I'm pretty sure my recently replaced stock hg has failed on me, most likely because I didn't retorque my arp bolts after 5 heat cycles like i should have...

I'm in Queens and thinking about having a shop do my hg this time around since I fed up. The trick is finding a shop in our area(s) that work on the 7m. Would JMR be a good place to go?

^ when you say overheat, you mean like into the red? Any temp fluctuation?

Your douchebag comment wasn't necessary. A simple "no" would've been enough. ---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ---------- I was pretty surprised how tight my original stock 58ftlb bolts were when I took them out...

Im not doubting you at all, just trying to learn. This was the first time I pulled apart a 7m, and Id like to gather all the tips and pointers I missed. ---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ---------- :cry: I wish you did too. :cry: You know i think i...

Hmm. Will do. ---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ---------- I see what you're saying. But just to be clear the block wasn't surfaced and I used an oem gasket. So that leaves what little material the machinist took off the head during the rebuild.

:icon_bigg you betcha

Also, Im not sure I trust myself to do the job again. Anyone know of shops with 7m experience in the nyc/ny area?

So when i do pull the head again, what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Im just gona get a gasket from toyota. Should I get new bolts?
