Haha thanks guys! I'm going to go with Dirgle's suggestion. I hope those damn bolts don't strip. I'll keep you guys updated, thanks for the great advice

Is there anyway to remove the turbo without actually touching the four nuts that hold it on to the manifold? All of the nuts look extremely rusted and delicate which is why I'm too scared to even put a socket next to them. So I was thinking, if it would be possible to remove the manifold bolts...

All of this sounds a bit too complicated for a novice like me haha. Guess I'm keeping the OEM oil cooler!

Thanks for all the info guys! I went ahead and ordered an OEM plug for my 87 just to be safe.

Believe me I thought the same thing. I mean why would they install a part that "doesn't do anything". I'm just going by some posts that I've been reading up on but if others one here think it's a bad idea, I will stay away.

Anyone have a list of the parts I need to remove the 7mgte oil cooler? I've read that it really doesn't do much and becomes a disadvantage towatds oil pressure. I know I need to remove the old oil filter housing and oil cooler as well as find a bolt to plug the oil cooler side but what about the...

Thanks guys! Ill definitely purchase the OEM part then.

Thank you sir! Will a normal plug from Lowes or Home Depot do the job?

http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=11394685763 Hey guys, So on my journey to replace my cars head gasket I found this hose just hanging there. It must go somewhere since there is a coupling around it but where? Pictures would help since I'm not very familiar with this engine. The hose is...

Thanks guys!

So I will be installing my studs with an OEM HG too! What could I do to prevent this? Really don't want this to happen haha.

Same here! Even though my 87 isn't working at the moment, I'd love to go to some event to ask questions and get to know more about my new car. :D

Anyone on here know any good machine shops in Northern Jersey? Been looking on google and found a few but there were barely any reviews on the shops' work. Thanks!

Good information! Definitely gonna save up for other things that I REALLY need for my HG repair.

Thanks for the input bro! GOT IT, NO CIVICS. :D

Hello Supra Fam! So I recently bought a 1987 Supra Turbo with 133,000 miles on it. My plan is to change out the head gasket, get the head cleaned, machined, and put in a new OEM one with ARP Studs torqued at 85lbs. Also I will be changing out the valve stem seals with Viton seals I received...

My thoughts exactly. I guess I'm going to buy that Ebay kit, ditch the filter and spend the money on a good filter! Thanks for the advice.

So what exactly is the difference between let's say… Ebay Intake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141037835785 Apexi Intake...

Hey guys! So I started taking apart my Supra yesterday and realized I do not have a straight edge to check the flatness of the block and head. So my question is, does anyone know how long the block and head are? Would a 24in be okay for the job or should I get something a bit bigger? Thanks!

Just wanted to ask the experts what type of oil I should put in the beast after I'm done changing my BHG. Any specific brands? Or should I be able to go OEM? I will be running and OEM filter. As for the coolant would I be able to use the following (stock radiator)...
