I highly doubt this is the kids first event of the sort...I remember high school very well and there is always the 1 kid that just doesn't learn....I bet he is the kid that spends more time in detention than in class...I don't see a problem with cops arresting him...I bet the reporter happened...

IJ....would it be a good idea to put some axel grease on the bearings and shaft to help keep the acid from getting in.....on the just incase?

Ok I'll leave the shaft in... Machinist quoted me $134 for hot tank and magnaflux.... I'm sure I can replace the bearings if needed I just wanted to get a heads up before I dive in. And no it would be much much easier to size the shaft than the bearings.

Say I did leave them in with the shaft installed....they survive....how would it effect them long term...will it soften the material? I'd be scared that the bearings blow after 500 miles or something....or is it just the heat that makes them fall out?

I've seen this on two 7m heads....I've only seen 3 7m heads so far so I have a feeling this kind of damage is common....personally I'd run some scotch-brite over them to remove the burrs and reuse it....wish they had replaceable bearings but shit in one hand and want in the in the other and see...

By they you must mean me LOL...only thing that machinist is gonna do is machine the block as I don't have the machines to do it myself....sizeing the shaft should be cake work on the lathe...yeah I can see getting the bearing in isn't gonna be fun but if it's not impossible then I'm sure I'll be...

Yeah I know that....but i've worked plenty with ultasonic cleaners and was never impressed....I want this block clean...very clean....thinking hot tank then ultrasonic.... I want to know what's involved with sizeing....need the down low on that and installation.

Can someone go into more detail about what exactly will happen? I picked up a gte shortblock and it's almost ready to head to the machinist but obviously it needs cleaning....I need details on how to install new bearings and what exactly I need to do....I think I read somewhere that the shaft...

Funny I thought the exhaust side was the turbine and the intake side was the compressor..

I'm no expert let me just make that clear.. I don't think it matters how many bearings you have....the fact is that ball bearings have moveing parts....yes ball bearings have less resistance but let's say that your turbo is spinning at 100,000 rpm those bearings are produceing massive...

real men don't worry about such sillyness....

this post should be deleted..

keep in mind the stinger isn't plug and play....it requires a wire harness which driftmotion sells for a pretty penny....stinger plus harness is just over $1000...the aem plugs into the stock toyota harness....so really it's about even in price...as far as a turbo goes, look in the turbo section...

I recomend that you go with a steel headgasket over stock....

the 1jz japan cars don't have headgasket issues like the 7m motors....only real issue you may have with a 1j mkiii is the twin turbos blow....but that can be solved with a big single conversion....you are in a better position than most us here in America... Ps. I'm Canadian and used to live...

some motors plug into constant power supplies like electric weed wackers....some are solar powered...etc

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's just hollow....just an expansion chamber.

not lashing out....just trying to remind him that we be broke fuckers here LOL....one needs to look beyond the problems here and realize there is usually a reason why we drive 20 year old sports cars becides the fact they are win.

let's say you didn't live in tex...but you lived in Maine but was in the exact same situation your in now....how are you going to buy a $500 beater when you have debts to pay? Other than that your post was much better than the first. I just got a raise to $16 an hour with 15-20 overtime...

consider upgradeing the oil cooling system....you'll want to do a walboro fuel pump.....aftermarket fuel pressure regulator...12v fuel pump mod....you may like an oilfilter relocation kit also....and a steel headgasket.
