Time for another update - Need your opinion. I got the head back from the machine shop today. All the valves came out fine according to the machinist, but...his opinion is that the camshaft journals have too much abnormal wear to safely reuse them. Now I did search a bunch and read that some...

So I thought I'd update everyone on how it's going (and I changed the thread title to be more current). I couldn't work on the car for a number of days, but I finally did today and was able to get the head off successfully! Tomorrow it goes to the machine shop so they can do their thing. I will...

Thanks for the tip on the pulley bolt. Made some more progress after work today. Getting closer. Upon doing a little searching it doesn't look like the oil seals come with the gasket kit. I will need to order them. Can someone please verify that these are the correct part numbers for the seals I...

Hey everyone, I have another couple of questions. I was looking through the TSRM on doing the timing belt and it looks like I will need a puller to pull the crankshaft pulley. Is this something common I should be able to rent from Autozone or do I need the Toyota SST. Also, just in case my oil...

No plans for the exhaust right now. The head rebuild is eating up what little funding I have. I think I'm gonna skip the port n polish as there is still other things the car is going to need without worrying about a very minor increase in performance. I started on the disassembly today, but...

Thanks. A normal tool set I have already. I didn't list it, but did plan on buying new plugs and I already have a tube of FIPG.

As the title says I am getting ready to do a rebuild of the head in a couple of weeks. I have done a LOT of reading on this subject (thanks to this forum and others) and feel pretty confident that I will be able to complete it without much trouble. Since this will be the furthest I've dug into...

Old one was a 2 piece so they wouldn't be exactly the same. Besides it was trashed the day after I swapped it. If you have an N/A manual trans then it would be interesting to compare measurements. I plan I taking measurements on Monday. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I recently replaced my 2 piece driveshaft with a 1 piece steel driveshaft. Afterwards I noticed a vibration between 50 and 60mph. The driveshaft came with a new yoke, new u-joints, and should have already been balanced. I took the car to my mechanic and he said he couldn't find anything else...

Problem solved. Unlocked the car this morning, opened the door and the alarm went off. I thought "that's weird". It's never happened before. Tried to start the car and nothing happened. No clicks or noises of any kind. Voltmeter showed 12v. Began looking for blown fuses. Didn't find any. In the...

Slight correction to make. It turns out that both doors need to be open for the locks and windows to function. Also when the doors are open the windows seem to move at a normal speed (I think I was just tired the other night). It doesn't seem to matter how far the doors are open, just that they...

Hello everyone. New to this forum and generally new to the Supra world and I could use a little help with a weird problem. First off, the car is an 87 Base Supra 5spd w/ Sport Package and just over 52,000 original miles. Now on to the issue which just started suddenly (no warning signs). If the...
