Yes I know that #1 is larger than the rest, and set tab(or claw) is also different on #1 then the rest. All of the rest are the same, no offset on any that would line up with #3.

Is it common for Clevitt main bearings to not align w/both oil holes on the block. Both of the #1 oil holes line up, but only one of the #3 holes line up, and the other about 3/32 off. Was the block drilled wrong? Should I drill the bearing out on the one side to align with the hole, or is...

I have been pricing internals for my 7mgte, and need some opinions on the quality of parts from Partsdinosaur. Only reason why I am asking is that their prices are about half of my local imports only store prices, which is again about half the of the local dealership(where I can get a 20%...

The gas wouldn't have evaporated just expanded from the heat and increased the amount of vapors in the tank(more pressure). As long as the fuel system is working correctly. i.e, no leaks in the sending/return lines/gas cap, the expanded fuel would remain in the tank, even in a vapor state. Do...

So basically the stock CT26 w/mods 1-3 will get me to about 350(give or take). Then I should go with the 550cc's, Lexus MAF, and a larger turbo to support the additional 100-150hp. This isn't bad at all. The first step will give me an idea of how much more I need, if any above 350(may...

This is how the narrow band ones are supposed to work when driving under normal conditions. If you floor it, it should peg in the yellow(top of band), and at idle it should be in the red(bottom of band). It is more helpful for fuel economy than anything else, however if you had it floored and...

Yes I have been doing my research, best that I can finding info here and at SF. Given the weight of the car I figured 400-450hp(not rwhp) would be good target. I originally posted my plans(on other sites) and asked for advice for how someone would go about building a 400-450hp road car, and...

Mine measured 47,000ths(.0047), not 4700ths(.047). There isn't any sign that the fin hit the side, no scarring, so I am not sure how it got chipped. MAy have been there from day one(unlikely given Toyota's Quality Control), or if something got into it since over time, all of the intake tubes...

Yes I am aware of the other mods/support mods. What kind of Hp#'s does the stock CT26 support, with intake/exhaust mods?

There is very little movement along the horizontal plane(axial). I used a dial caliper(no gauge on hand) to get the amount of radial movement. Th 47,000ths is equivalent to .119mm, still within specs. I have about a week before the crank gets back from being turned, and another few days...

The movement is 45,000ths which appears to be fine according TEC(TurboEngineeringCorp), a local(3hrs away) turbo shop. They told me that 100,000ths or more is in need of a rebuild. They quoted me $425 for a rebuild if i needed one, is that high, or is that on par with drift motion? Here is...

It moves less than an 1/8", not sure if that is within specs or not. After doing a search for rebuild kits I came across info about rebuild and the balance issue.

I am in the process of restoring an '87. I have the engine torn down to fix the low comp, the rod knock(no bearings left on #3), and clean off all the oil that leaked from the pan(couple bolts in the front weren't tight). During the pull down I checked the turbo for shaft play, and it does...

I wasn't thinking about the Supra hobby owner, but the driver who uses the car to get to an from work each day who gets tagged in the rear on the highway/stoplight, or T-boned in an intersection where the engine comp is left intact, or hit while parked on the street. I am not concerned with...

I am in the same boat w/my restoration '87, and 42400 for someone else doing the work doesn't seem that bad(as long as he is familiar w/import engines). I have been sourcing parts/engine work, and it is looking to be about $15-1600, and about $15-2500 for a slightly used/rebuilt engine. The...

I posted on sac craigslist and have a response for a block w/head, The engine is second hand and the current owner was told that the car it was parted from had an electrical issue. I haven't heard back from last email as to my other Q's. I think I am going to pass on the one that is 230...

Thanks for the replies, i will shoot suprarich an email and see what he can do. I am still deciding on what my options are, trying to find a good/used one for cheap(not likely) to run in the meantime to get an idea of what I want to do, or depending on what basic rebuild costs. I have come...

I am new to Supra's and I am rebuilding an '87 Turbo. When I bought it I was told that it had a rod knock, it was partially disassembled, so I have no idea if it really does. I was thinking if all that was wrong was a bad rod bearing, I would pull the engine, remove the pan, check the...

Good to hear. I had originally considered doing an air bag suspension swap, but the $2k price tag seems a bit much at this time for what I want to spend on the car, so I am now looking into using lowering springs instead. Will swapping out the rubber bushings for poly with the sway bars...

I should be able to start on the resto sometime later this month, I have two trucks to prep and paint, and one utility trailer to build before I can start on the Supra. I will be putting in new carpet, unfortunately there are two large holes in the blue carpet from the PO not using floor mats...
