Freeze plug on the front of the block was the problem. Got up early this morning and pulled the engine. Stripped it down to the long block and headed to the machine shop. We pulled it down the rest of the way together. He installed one freeze plug buttoned if back up and I am on my back with...

Core Plug behind the timing cover sounds good. The sounds of water falling were definitely coming from the front of the motor. Is there a bolt or something that could have pushed this core plug in.

Tops of the pistons are clean, I think it must be a plug or hole leaking water into the pan. As far as doing a compression test, isn't that a bad idea( the whole no oil thing ) and no telling how much water got into the pick-up the oil pan was full of coolant and might have back filled up into...

Just finished building my engine and today was break in day. Go to add all the fluids and the radiator takes more than it should have. Stop for a second to check the book, and it should be overflowing by now. Pour in a little more and check every thing. Nothing Pour a little more and get under...

Well after 2 more boxes of parts from Driftmotion things are startling to come together. The Motor is in the hole. I was going to have some help putting it in but my buddy got hurt at work and ripped his shoulder out of socket. Putting a 7m-GTE with the transmission in by yourself=fun. battery...

This is the Paint I used. Be careful no mater how long it sits it is not cured until you bake it and you can tear the surface layer and its like tar under it. It is easy to work with and you can change the way it looks by how heavy you spray it. I used 3 heavy coats, let it start to dry, and...

Thank you for the help

Here is the same plug from a picture of my car before I started my build. Don't quote me on this but I an pretty sure that it is a diagnostic port and there are multiple references in the tsrm to jumping pens on it to enter closed loop and setting timing??? As you can see there was nothing...

Well it's been a long cold winter and not even close to enough time to work on my car, but I am putting all the parts together again. I know that there is still a long way to go and some of the pieces are just laying here for a mock up, but what do you guys think so far. I an thinking...

Thank you SupraGuy that is what I was looking for. I had never come across mouser before. :icon_bigg:icon_bigg:icon_bigg

Does anybody have a current part# for a blue numeric display that works in the 90 model climate control. The threads that I have found on this are quite old and the part numbers are out of date. The only one that I have found, that I know will work, is on digi-key. It is not a stock item and...

SUPRARX7NUT Thanks for the clairification this will make this fixing my cc much easier

I've read your thread a couple of times and a couple of others and I was under the impression that the cc unit ran at like 2 volts to the Leds but the blue ones I was looking at for the indicator buttons required more like 3 volts and that the resistors needed to be changed to a lower value for...

I have read a number of posts here and on SF about this issue but still have a couple of questions. Where are the resistors located for the indicator lights? if I want to run a cc unit with white backlights for the buttons, blue indicators, blue display and red/blue backlight for the temp up...

^ Found a new crank well, I bought another motor for parts as of now the motor is built and waiting on me to get the bay ready for it to go in. Cool thing about the wrinkle finish you have to bake it to cure it. 3 hours in the oven on 300 degrees and I could still touch the part painted black...

Here is the head And while the motor was in the shop I started cleaning up the intake. I am going to use red enamel to fill in the 3000 and then polish the flat square around the 3000 Thinking of doing the valve covers the same way: Grind off casting marks, black...

My goals for now 300hp, better than new suspension, and clean it up a little. Although the engine had been raped all in all the car is in pretty good shape. Couple pieces of broken trim, drivers door moulding missing, stained carpet not bad for 20 years old. Step one Rebuild engine: As I...

So the car gets back to the shop and the project begins Out comes the Motor for tear down and inspection and WTF How the Hell do you get the gasket this far off? Can you say boost leak? the gasket material was punctured by the studs on both ends. Arrows pointing both ways...

After Months of lurking here I decided that my next car was going to be a supra. The search began and I located a one owner supra in Ohio. After about 2 hours of inspecting the car and looking through a bankers box of receipts I decided to buy the car. This man kept records of everything. Long...
