    weight reduction

    I think my favorite answer was number 2. Get something else. You can get rid of bumper beams and if you really wanted to go nuts, replace all panels with carbon fiber, there's a guy on ebay that will do the doors and targa. That would really be a labour of love at that point. For that kind of...

    88 supra turbo head gasket problems

    What is TDC? Here is a really useful link, http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/default.aspx You are definitely capable. I'm in the Toronto area and fortunately for me 7M's and 2J's are quite plentiful from a variety of vendors. However when you buy one the first thing you want to do is take it...

    Need Help and opinnions on my rebuild!!!

    It's still just an Inline 6 cylinder internal combustion engine. For a mechanic, these are about as simple as they get. The Jeep is an I-6, isn't it? It's not like it's some push-rod GM bullcrap. Having said that, I would be so careful to whom you bring this engine. There isn't much room for...

    Need Help and opinnions on my rebuild!!!

    The break in is pretty much correct. I like the part about changing the oil with non-synthetic initially during the break in. It aides in seating the rings properly. Since all the gaskets are new, non-synthetic oil won't make a difference for the first 5000. I wouldn't say "NO Boost", BUT make...

    Need Help and opinnions on my rebuild!!!

    If you have the money, it really only depends on your philosophy. Are you a purest and would like to keep it a 7M? You will probably spend about the same to build either the 7M or the 2J, other than the cost of the 2J engine. From what I've seen building my own 2J, the coolant galleries versus...

    Idle / Stalling problems. Advice Please.

    Ohhh, cool. I thought you said you checked the fuel but I read back and you just mentioned checking at the pump only. I hope it didn't cost too much, but at least it's done.

    Idle / Stalling problems. Advice Please.

    It does sound like a breathing issue. The AFM can get fouled and throw some bad air temp., dens., etc. data and may not give you a code. The AFM can swirl air *funny* due to an obstruction (like a hunk of K&N) and would give you a lopey idle, drop in Hz to stall, maybe some black smoke from...

    Not that it matters now that the name has forever been associated to my Guns, but it was actually the name of my first horse I had for 14 years. A beautiful Palomino gelding, rest in peace gorgeous. Thanks for the warm (or creepy...either way it's good) welcome!
