you can always hit up a autozone, they have those red and blue silicone hose kits i work their haha :) if not, just get a bunch of regular vacuum hose's and go through and replace them all. thats what i'll be doing here soon.

Someone said they upgraded to slightly meatier rings from another car, anyone have a clue where those were off? I definately want to cure that problem Tomorrow i'm switching in those regular NGK v-powers, and going to try to get my friend to bring his timing light so i can set the timing...

well if you know what you're doing no, but if you want, take it out, replace that rubber seal, and when you get the cam marks straight up, the crank straight up, and the belt on and tensioned, the hold the dist cap on it so you know where the #1 spot is, then position the rotor slightly left of...

UPDATE *Havn't heard the knock since that day. weird. *Yes I did change the oil, flushing it with new oil again tomorrow *Got the vacuum shit figured out, but when i put the one hose on the top of the EGR valve, it wont start? Bad egr valve? NEW PROBLEM *Injectors still friggin leaking *My...

I JUST did mine, here is what you do: *Take all the nuts/bolts off the a/c compressor. Don't disconnect lines, just get it off the studs and move it *Taking off the fan clutch makes life easier. *remove the top timing cover *What I did for the crank pulley was: took splash pan off tranny...

So I've gone and worked my ass off the last week, finally getting all my shit back together so I can get my car running. This is what I did *Used head from a member, cleaned, new seals, reshimmed springs, clearences set, planed flat. *Smooth block surface, minor pitting. Cleaned out...

haha, iv came very close to getting shocked before. thats why when i adjust my timing im not touching anything :)

Yea seriously, you need to give a thorough description of the problem. Do you hear the fuel tank hum when you turn the key to the ON position? Does your alarm ever go off? Does it crank over? If it does, then pull a cable off a plug and hold it next to the body, and see if it sparks as its...

snow is a 10 foot drift that even a lifted rugged 4x4 can barely get through :)

lol you guys are bitching about 30? I wish i could :( its like 5 degrees here in nebraska, wind chill puts it at like -5 :'(

just listen for the fuel pump when you turn the key on. if you cant hear it, you should probably replace it

um... i was pretty sure the leakdown consisted of putting some oil in the combustion chamber and then compression testing it again? i thought the air test was to check for a bent valve, or check for boost leaks

i can honestly say that since i've owned my supra, the only time i've let someone else behind the wheel was so they could steer why i pushed :D maybe it was all just a coincidence. when i first bought mine i thought it just needed a tune-up, and i had the same wire problems as you (oil in...

its called the waterfall sound, for me, it was my first clue that i had a bad headgasket, but it doesn't always mean that. check or change your oil, see if it looks milky at all. look at your coolant for traces of oil. like quin posted, check all of those things my clues for a bad...

Here is Nebraska, their isnt any sort of inspection at all. It kinda goes Ok you have insurance, a title in your name, and money, heres your plates and stickers, thanks.

thats not the exact one, just a quick picture i found that is somewhat similar lol. The one i used polished and cleaned more then anything. I mean shit it had a hell of a time getting a few gaskets off things, so it isnt too harsh.

no, the please of a PITA supra lol. head is garbage, i buy a new one bare, machinist says i need the original cam caps, a million other small things. :'(

Ughhh why do I run into so many problems with this damn supra? lol

see thats the problem, if you look at the pictures, thats were the pitting came from, the fire rings. when it got so hot they kind of melted and yea, cylinders 1 and 6, those rings were tear drop shaped sort of. Btw, can anyone tell me how critical it is to have the bearing caps for the...
