Are there many items interchangeable between the 1JZ and the 2JZ? Aside from the stroke what are the differences? And has anyone shoehorned a 2JZ intop MA70?

If the head fails for "hardness" is there anything I can do? Talk dirty to it? I'm a little tweaked 'cause I just bought one from a guy the ebay way, and am worried that all my ordering has been in vain...

How the valve went the way of the DoDo bird I can't say. I can say it laid a mirror image of love on the cylinder head, it's shot. I found a replacement which I will disclose later. Is there a preference for bearings? I"ve found items on ebay and at horseyfreaks.pinchmynipples, but this being my...

I'm sure. On Sunday I pulled the head for the ever loving BHG, and with much dismay discovered the rear exhaust valve had snapped/sheared/"popped" and was laying upon a much gouged piston. The other other three valves had been mashed into very uncomfortable positions. The cylinder wall appears...

Since the valve in cyl #5 popped and the piston got a beating worse than Tyson in his last fight, I've got to replace it. -What is the most cost effective way to swap out a piston? -Must all hardware and bearings be replaced? -can the oil pump be tested? -what pistons should I...

Not really an issue now. Took the head off today...................Not only were first and sixth cylinders blown, but my rear exhaust valve on #5 had sheared snapped or whatever and chewed the ever living shit out of my head and piston. I think the head's shot, and am wondering what the...

Umm, gulp, wendigo lacks Ideal's......ideal confidence. Please understand, that this is me first time doing such things(throw in a little Popeye accent for a chuckle). Hell, it took 3 days to get to where I was in a position to remove the head bolts. And how do you adjust timing once back...

Isn't that the best position for the engine to be in when doing work like pulling the head, ie getting the timing correct during reinstallation>

Getting ready to pull my head for reasons I've mentioned in other posts. Problem: Getting cam sprocket notches to point straight up. Using the starter(perhaps not the best way) the notch rocks 180 from 2 o'clock to about 8 o'clock. Same with using a breaker bar. So the question of the...

Am I a tool for thinking that the neg post goes to the block for ground, Or did I sprinkle too much cinnamon crack on my cereal for dinner?

Wow, a shade tree mechanic I am not. In the process of trying to get to my headgasket I have learned. Don't play with the neighbors white dog after touching the 7MGTE, That 80's Japanese engineers have earned a special place in my heart-burn, and that it is a good idea to get #1 cyl to top dead...

Anything wrong with the KOYO on Ebay for $125? .....................I'll admit it, I have an E-problem

Shavings not a problem. Taking the guillotine as we speak and popping the head off to deal with a few other head-aches, ha, get it, head....aches? I slay me. But If what I think happened did I'll post some pics for the obligatory oo's and ah's.

Can the head be fixed if a plug hole gets stripped out?

Wow! good to know just saved $130 I'l put that towards my calf implants, THANKS!

Thanks, I was a little wired after finding out that I had another 30 years to live. - For Headgaskets, what is the normal bore of the 7mgte? couldn't find that tidbit in my random searches between supras and penguin sex acts. - Is there a way to prep the block without pulling the engine...

Hello all! Name's Eric, Bought an '89 turbo targa a year ago and my life will never be the same again. I recently received from on high the dreaded BHG on the engine that I had swapped in after spinning a bearing. So now I'm ripping this pig apart finding more gack than a peepshows floor...

Along these same lines: Bought an 89 turbo a year ago, spun a bearing- installed JDM motor- after sitting all winter started car up- 15ish minutes into idle starts blowing white smoke, or during throttle up. BHG? after shut down a LOT of gurgling in and around radiator. Getting ready for comp...
