    cant get engine out

    I just had this problem last week and as it was mentioned earlier it is stuck on the fork. You have to go underneath and pop out the pin holding the fork on it makes it a little easier if you push the motor back on. I had the trouble inns r154 but I'm sure its the same on the w58.

    Ok guys so I am back in town and pulled the supra apart. Seems like its just a broken spark plug. What would cause that also have a lot of oil in the general area of the 3rd through 6th plug I already changed the valve cover gasket what else would do this?

    Yeah gonna drop the oil when I get back I have way to much to do before I leave on Thursday. I'm just parking it and forgetting about it. Besides maybe looking for a 1j. It seems like the piston is hitting the spark plug what would cause that? I've heard of people putting a 1j with 2j head is...

    Ok I have got it home yes it is knocking and number one spark plug is snapped in half that's why the lead was not staying on.

    Yeah I like the hks systems they have a good qaulity sound to them. No annoying drones. I would be very picky with who does the work I live north side but don't mind the drive anywhere. I would make it as quiet as possible with out sacrificing power. I would also want an elbow and downpipe made...

    I think that's my next option when I get back from Australia I'm going to buy a god speed radiator they seem best value and funds is an issue. I can't justify 400 for fluidyne when the godspeed rads are 200 with dual fan setup. I'll make a new shroud. What do you think? I have a buddy in...

    Yeah all the fans are good and I swapped out the clutch fan for a Taurus fan I rewired the fans also and replaced the front one on the condenser for a much larger one also pushing in. I don't think the fans are too much of an issue because it will not over heat any other time. I figured taking...
