    Help with the coolant lines that go under the header.

    No dont reuse the gasket ever, but you should read up on what is going to need to be done, there is plenty of info in this site about doing head gaskets. Do it right or do it again.

    Turbo pressure sensor

    You will need the turbo cluster or guage with the "white box" from the turbo cluster. Also the wiring that plugs into the white box is in the harness even on na models, but the side that connects and goes out the fender is not there. BTW on a related subject does anyone have or can take a...

    Suggestions while the head is off?

    Yea check that pipe that wraps around the engine, you have to pull the head or motor to replace it, so make sure its in good shape or replace.

    Help with the coolant lines that go under the header.

    Actually the one I have is just a straight pipe without the one running behind the head, its a 89 jdm, and my 89 na has the normal pipe that goes behind the engine. Ill get some pics of both when I get home, not sure why its different but its not like any of the 5 mk3 supras I have owned.

    The Symptoms...

    When you say you can get the timing close but not to 10 what is the reason, is it because the dis is at its max movement? If so then you could be a tooth off on the dis.

    inconsistent miss under load

    Backfire should be a timing related problem.

    Fresh build, oil seepage from Rear Main

    Only have the inside of the hole machined, the part that stops the seal from going in any further. IIRC the bolts for the oil pan go into that cover and if you machine the back( as you post makes out), then those bolts will not line up correctly and pull the rear cover away from the motor and...

    Suggestions while the head is off?

    Probably will want to an an 02 sensor to that list or a wideband since o2 + coolant = death to the o2 pretty fast.

    All 7M-GTE coolant hoses

    For the radiator hoses, I know you used to be able to get braided hoses that size, but I have not seen them in around 6 years. I figure for that silicone or stock. I meant for the 5/8 hose and 1/2 and such. As for using an fittings you can get end caps for them to end the line, you probably...

    Miss firing when first running

    Go with ngk, the laser platinum is the oe plug, the iridium is the closest to the laser platinum, a lot of people like the coppers, but they always foul on me in a few thousand miles and its such a pita to replace them I just go with iridium and change them every 100k, also you can change the...

    Weird noises, need some help

    Rod knock is very common is 7m motors, and they dont really sound like a the rod knock most cars get, but its pretty unlikely that its a shim on the lifter so I am gonna guess rod knock. If you rev to 3000 then snap the throttle full then let off then resnap again at 3000 you will hear it the...

    Miss firing when first running

    First the bvsv is the bimetalic vacuum switching valve for the evap, then one vsv is for fuel up (ie runs to fuel pressure regulator), the other vsv runs the egr, but even then it only when its on it only causes the system to start and its regulated by the dpfe( not sure what toyota calls it)...

    power steering not working when idling

    The idle up just gives some extra air past the throttle plate giving you increased idle, so that should not affect it really, it just keeps it from bogging when turning at idle. Sounds like. bad pump not getting enough pressure out.

    How bad are my cylinder walls?

    IJ I am not sure if you can sleeve the engine or not, they told me they would do it for that but that just may be a generic price and not if it will fit the application. I have never had to go more than 20 over on a 7m so I have not had to worry about it. As for the work they only charged...

    How bad are my cylinder walls?

    So whats the bullshit what I said or what the shop told me. And why the attitude. I have seen the work they do and if they tell me its that price and I dont get what I was told they will do it for the price they quoted, that is how business works. I am a master tech A1-A8 plus L1 certified...
