an hks blew at almost 16psi?? maybe the deck wasnt prepared properly or something?

Is the spec stage 1 pressure plate the same stiffness as oem or a little bit stiffer?

Nope, no machining done yet. And yea I thought that because the front to back sides dont have skirts that could be a part of it. Im debating on spending the money on a mic to measure how wide the cylinders are, there expensive so i was thinking of maybe just having the machine shop check it.

I was lookin things over today and noticed something. With no rings on, should there be any play with the piston in the cylinder? Mine will move front to back(in relation to the front of the block) but none from side to side. Is this normal?

Im so glad i found this thread before i put regular old toyota coolant in my rebuilt/cleaned motor and not run a filter. Im starting out with a completly clean block/head , new hoses, and a new radiator. So this mod makes perfect sense to keep everything clean. And what about this o-ring...

Ok so im rebuilding my 7m, its not a big buildup(stock rods and pistons, mhg) but id like to have the motor running as well as it can with this setup. Now onto my questions. With a remote mount oil filter, are there any downsides too it? What are all the upsides too it? Does it increase...

I saw a really sweet custom cluster on a 240 a guy did awhile back, ill try and find it when i get home tonight. If i remember correctly it looked almost factory.

Is getting the crank straightened, balanced and the journals sized/micro polished mandatory on a small rebuild? I wasnt planning on doing anything to the crank, just stickin ne main bearing in there. Im re-using the pistons/rods and getting the decks machined for a cometic mhg.

if you dont absolutly have to, i wouldnt pull it.

what do you get like a rebuild kit from toyota to do this?

Yea the motor is not in the car, actually its in peices atm :D

Ok so since i never had a assembled USDM motor, I have nothing to really compare to or go from so im kinda flying blind here and trying to get my hands on parts diagrams and pictures to get the egr hooked up on my jdm motor. Ive already got all the hard lines/pipes and major components of...

whats cbn stand for? The guy I talked to did mention they use carbide bits.

Ive been calling reputable machine shops all over my area and none of them can, or know who would, be able to lap the deck of a block and a head. I did talk to a recomended place and they said they would go over the deck very slow to acheive the smooth finish for a mhg. Has anyone else had a...
