    Supra vs Deer: we both lost

    I was doing about 65 down a nice country road when OMG, DEER!!!11!!!1! I saw its head jump out of the grass field to the right, I slammed on the brakes and turned towards its ass to try and dodge it but I caught it right above the bumper on the drivers side. I think 5 or 10mph slower would...

    Head work

    I'm getting ready to call around for machining prices for my head, but I don't know what I should ask them to do. Gotta have installing the valve stem seals and helicoiling the exhaust studs, but what do I ask for about milling/lapping it? The motor has 158k original miles, never been opened...
