Welcome back, I have heard so much about you.

Ohhhh my God yesssss.... Brownies.

The holset turbos came in Dodge cummins diesel trucks. They are solid turbos and will boost 20-30psi all day. There are a couple of thread on the forum that discuss their potential. The main influence of my build is funds. And I am always looking at things in the long run. In my case, It...

The feeler gauge gauges I have are too big. I have to get a smaller set.

I can see your point but before this thing turns into a 7M vs 2J debate id just like to say that the 2J is just NEWER technology. Its a redesigned newer Toyota motor. I am personally going for a 2JNAT down the line. 2jzge's are just sooo cheap and you can use all of the 7M turbo electronics to...

Very true. I'm sorry I spread misinformation.

LOL.. I'll be honest i have used that technique to install some studs (Mostly for removing stuck studs). It works, nothing dangerous about it.

You can put two nuts on the stud and tighten them against each other. And torque. Or upgrade your studs to the 2JZ studs.

Dammit the nuke beat me to it Take that nuke

Sounds good. Thnx IJ I will report back my findings tonight

LOL sorry i was typing my response and missed that. I haven't checked the end float yet. I don't have a dial gauge. Can I check it with a feeler gauge?? Also i have seen ppl reuse their old thrust washers to preserve their end float? correct me if i am WRONG. Thnx for the input guys. EDIT...

Ohh no I would never torque the crank that way. I go by tsrm in everything that i do except for the headgasket .lol I used this torquing procedure to tighten the caps down http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=91 This is what threw me off completely. I had...

I got new thrust washers. They are seated and lubricated on the outer side.

Plastigauge, yes. All clearances are good.

I used ACL bearings for mains and kings for rods. Both are 0.25 oversize

Everything is in the right direction. I undid the rear three caps and the front three and retorqued them and the problem fixed itself. I have built several 7M's but never seen this before?????It seems like one of the bearings was not sitting properly. Thnx for the response gaboon

Here is the dealeo I got new bearings 0.25 oversize. Crank was machined. I plastigauged it and all of the bearing clearances checkout according to tsrm. I installed the crank and it spins freely by hand. While i was installing the rings one of the oil control rings came loose and scratched my...

Any one have invites???
