Thats what I originally thought but wouldnt that show on compression and leakdown? Wouldn't it always be tehre not just when hot? I mean if its out of time then it's always out of time right? Thanks for the help, I'll triple check anyway :)

As you may have guessed from the title I have an idle problem. I recently rebuilt the engine and did the is300 coil on plug swap. I did not have this problem prior to the build but the engine was smoking terribly and lacked power so I rebuilt it again. On cold start up the car seems to run fine...

Thanks, looks like I'll be ordering fittings. I have the -10 drain but the -4 from my ct kit isn't long enough for the boss. So could this be causing my low oil pressure? Assuming a live gauge confirms that it is low not just a faulty sending unit?

Ok, I have a question about my newly rebuilt engine. I shimmed the oil pump but I still have low hot oil pressure. When I first start up oil pressure is great, like 45-50 psi at idle. As it warms up it drops which I expect. While driving the first 20 minutes or so my pressure seems to be "in...

Spend some time just browing around. There are several helpful stickies. I'll try to answer your questions at least a little but you'll just have to lurk around the site to find more detailed info. 1) Pro: Fun to drive if you build it right. Con: Typically expensive to build them right. 2)26 is...

I have a two tone. 21C. I know there are a few out there. My last count based on who chimes in was like less than 10. Also, on toyota reference you can see that the two-tone blue was only offered one year for each combination just like the teal was only offered one year. I too wish there was a...

THe stock internals will hold plenty of power. TUNE. Proof of this you ask?...Sean's stock bottom 7M at over 700 rwhp. Now, stock internals that are twenty years old probably cannot handle that abuse but if you're replacing them with new "stock" pistons it should be fine.

Dyno day at majestic motorsports(it's real close to j-ville) august 18. If I can get my motor back together in the next week or two I will be there.My roommate will also have his supra there. It isn't a supra specific event but that doesn't mean a bunch can't show up:)

how sure are you that that fusible link exists, have you had to replace it or had a problm with it before? the only reason i ask is bc if you are only going based off the service manual/wiring diagrams and haven't actually found it in the car it may not actually be there. sometimes a service...

check voltage drop between battery post and battery terminals and check voltage drop between battery and fuse box. this will tell you if your fusible link is bad. another way to check fusible link is to pull onthe wire and see if it stretches(if you know where to pull). also check grounds...

I know,dead thread revival but I thought I should give some closure to all of you guys that had input. It has been a long time and I actually parked the car for the last year and stayed off the forums because I couldn't stand not having my car right. Well, a few weeks ago I finally got some...

so they got banned for customer service?

i thought retro-spec was still making moldings...?

Thanks

Just as the title says, is there a write up with pictures or anything for porting and polishing the 7M head? I have been searching for a few hours and find some answers but not all in the same place and some varying opinions. I know not to mess with the exhaust side. My main concern is how much...

It's all good,maybe jdub will chime in :)

OK. I thought this was the lube section?

Maybe you know and could help me figure it out. We are going on the basis that the engine requires SAE 30 correct? Meaning being at operating temp 190Fplus or minus would mean an oil viscosity of roughly 30(oil viscosity determined at 212F). 0W has the flow rate of a zero viscosity at 0F...

I do not quite understand the reason for the thermostat either. I could see it being useful back in the day or when using regular oil. With today's high tech and synthetic oils I don't really see cold flow being a problem, particularly if you are using something like 0W-30syn in a moderate...

Any more detailed pics of valve covers and center cover?
