    Properly swap a V160 6 speed transmission into A70 Supra.

    Any updates SupraClaou? Where have you gone? Looks like the photobucket 3rd party hosing bandwidth has hit you as well.

    Timing belts vs timing chains

    Maintenance interval is listed for the timing belt in the TSRM, along with everything else. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=MA&P=2 Every 60,000 miles. Better replace it soon, valves don't like to kiss the tops of the pistons. It is called an interference...

    Timing belts vs timing chains

    Never. Toyota's M series engines were the complete opposite. The original M (1965) had a chain, after that they switched to DOHC belt driven. The 5M, 7M, or 2JZ only had timing belts. Other Toyota engines had chains. The R series and AZ series were a couple, there are plenty of others.

    Rebuild kit for rear diff

    What do you mean? The carrier shims? Open diff or LSD, it does not matter they both use the same style shims. There are only 2 models I am aware of that use the same style carrier shims: - Cressida 1989-1992 GLX 6 Cyl 3.0L 7MGE; MX83 - Supra 1986-1992 6 Cyl 3.0L 7MGE, 7MGTE; MA70

    Study the micro scratching on each vane and slot. Like a jigsaw puzzle you will eventually find each matching slot they came out of.

    Rebuild kit for rear diff

    Toyota pickup rear diffs don't use carrier shims like ours do, they have adjuster wheels for the backlash and carrier preload. There is a table of 31 different thickness shims for our vehicles, you have to calculate which one you need during the diff setup. They are about ~$5 each so it can...

    Rebuild kit for rear diff

    There is no rebuild kit that has the right bearings. Usually Yukon or Nitro gears will put one together for most of the vehicles out there. They never did for the 87-92 Supra, and if you find one that is labeled as such, it will be wrong as you have found. Buy the bearings/seals/pinion...

    You are positive no air is in the system? The square cut seals on the caliper pistons only return the piston ~1 / 2mm max This is primarily determined by the hardness of the piston seal and the chamfer dimensions cut into the caliper. Good patent writeup here on the subject...
