thanks guys. As far as the poop stain on the firewall. Im not sure what that is.From the location though, it looks like the previous owner might have lost that rubber cap on the coolant pipe. But I will try to get it off b4 the install. The engine compartment was much dirtier than that...

better as in how? taller for lower RPM at highway speeds?

hmm thats interesting. I'd be curious to see how it holds up. I wonder why so many people are wanting the R154 so bad when alot of members never even reach the 400 hp mark?

so are you going to swap pistons so you can get your compression down where it needs to be for boost? Also I have never heard of the w58 being able to handle that much power. I thought it was more around 300 max. I also plan on na>t on my 87 but havent reasearched much on what all I need to...

update I picked up my block and misc parts. Everything looks pretty good. The crank was all balanced up. I didnt realize what all is involved in that. As you can see he even removed material from the pistons to balance everything out. I can see the $175 cost now. I measured my crank...

Good luck on that bolt Bob. Thats all I can say. I had to take mine off last weekend when I pulled my motor and it was a PITA!!! It bad enough in the car hooked up to the drivetrain, but out of the car is CRAZY! You will definitely need another person. I ended up using a prybar in the...

Glad to see its running. That doesnt explain why it locked tight like that though. I think I would still be concerned a little.

so its running now? Whats your oil pressure? Whats the temps at? Any unusual noises? That motor should have a warranty if your machinist put the bottom end together. It might be time to give him a call.

ok what happened to the pics??:naughty:

pics are always nice!:biglaugh:

update! Im back on track now as my pistons finally came in. I have been waiting on them for almost a month. Like I said they are not high dollar JE's or anything. Nippon racing .040 over. I got them and see damage to one of them. It has a small ding on the edge like its been hit. My...

that one question that has been lurking in the back of my mind. I see alot of guys taking these motors and dropping them in w/o any preventative maintenance. Is that wise considering we dont know for sure the mileage, some of the time, and more importantly how bad these motors were abused...

umm your going to share those pointers right??:naughty:

im sure 90% of supra owners have seen this one time or another. That is why so many spare tire tubs are rusted up. You are not alone!
