Well, my oil prressure is good. (got a new sensor) and I never let the oil get low so I cant see oil starvation

but would not rings because if it were, would the car not smoke something fierce? also the bearing were all redone with the tightest of tolerances. and if they were going I would hear a knock as in rod knock. Plus my mechanic would get a strip ripped off him if it were any of the above.....:nono:

now you are blubbering, oh that will help me fix my oil leak.........lol seriously as to not get too off topic. Any suggestions as to what it could be? And John did you seriously see blue smoke? I need to know.

You not helping the matter much John And I will admit that I am paranoided. It is a 7M after all, need to keep on top of this or else it will keep on top of your wallet

when and how??

I did not break it. but seriously go enjoy your pastrami sandwich..... sounds good :icon_bigg But again I am not putting out any blue smoke. I smell the exhaust from the tail pipe and it is oil free. I can only smeel something in the cabin. I dont know

Ok, I was doing a road trip and about half way I stopped to fill up and check the oil. needed to put some in and when I opened the cap some type of vapour was emanating form the oil fill opening. It look like it was coming form the hose that connects to valve covers. Not entirely sure what the...

Going to school? Cause I am at the U of C as well. I have an 87 turbo. Be sweet to see another supra owner at the U of C. Will you be living in Rez? if so that cool. I will be a CA in Kananaskis Hall.

Just a tip, check if there is a faint clicking noise when you flip your fog light switch with the head lights turned on and the key in the on position. it will come from the driver's kick panel. Flip the switch on and off several times to listen for it. If there is no sound then you have a bad...

This is news to me. Could you explain where and how a cheaper filter could do this?

hmm, how much is a fan shroud? also if I were to upgrade, would the fan shroud still fit or would i have to get something else

well it is chicken wired on. it broke a little while ago. I heard that may be the problem but there is no gap. it sits as if it was original for the most part

I am only monitoring the coolant temps with a stock gauge. i know they are not accurate. But my gauge will stay constantly at a little less than 1/3 the way up with out the AC and after running the AC for a bit, the temp will rise. I will see what I can do about pressure testing it.

What do you mean by reading the plugs? are you talking about spark plugs? they were fine when they went back in.

well I dont think I am losing any coolant because the resevoir is not full, there is nothing on the ground after a long drive and I always shut off the ac well before it over heats (afraid of another BHG :icon_conf ). As for the radiator, my mechanic said it was all right but you never know. I...

Hey I just got my car back form the shop about a month ago and it had a full rebuild will all new bearings, resufaced block, rebuilt head, hks MHG, arps @ 80ft/lbs, three new pistons, honed cylinders, new rings and all that fin stuff. I have about 4000 kms on it and before I got it rebuilt I...

When I got my new clutch installed, the pedal did not grab until about the same place as yours. It was slipping as well. So I took it back to the shop that installed it and a guy came out, then tighten a bolt on the clutch pedal itself. I never saw the actual bolt but from the looks of it, there...

Sorry I forgot to mention that, the probe is mounted about 2" downstream of the O2 sensor in a cooleze 3" DP. Mods are complete 3" exhaust and nothing else. I am seeing 10 psi at the top end.

Just wondering what the temperature would normally be? If anybody can tell me what the temp should be at idle, 50kph, 80 kph, 120 kph and any other significant speed/engine load. Just need to check it out with my new gauge to make sure. Thanks

First do what everyone else is telling you to do, as in actually go over the car with a fine tooth comb and fix any boost leaks, timing issues and what not. Second as already stated the car is a tank, it is not terribly fast as a stock car. You only have a cat-back from what you said, and a blow...
