amaichie, 7m-fanatic sent a pm to me, as I had some questions for him. I won't comment on anything since this is a topic for another thread

that is some great news. Thanks for the update

update? how's the car running? I'm very interested since the cams I plan to install in my 7mge will be very similar.

I hope I kept that old crank pulley bolt. I'll have my machine shop machine a step for me when I get closer to assembly time. Thanks again IJ, you are very helpful.

understood, thanks. looks like you can get degree wheels fairly cheaply on ebay. I assume the step is very shallow, less than the thickness of the wheel, so it is held tightly?

ah! great idea!

are the threads on the bolt long enough to reach the crank? when rotating the motor, wouldn't it just tighten the degree wheel more, causing it to bend?

fantastic work. you're so close! your friend sure knows how to weld. forget dyno vids and track numbers, I want some in-car videos! when do you think you'll fire her up for the first drive?

IJ, how to you fasten a degree wheel to the 7m pulley?

congrat shawn! such an achievment! what are you going to do with the chevelle?

I got some work done that I am somewhat proud of so I thought I would share. although it's not terribly exciting, I thought some pictures were in order. I've been working away with the little spare time I have and just finished up the upper intake manifold today. before I started work I...

looks nice. any more detailed pictures of your port work?

that there's yer problem! pretty badass camaro. you'd need some serious power to give him a run.

time for a dyno visit AJ!

tell us some details about your car

that's not bad at all. now that I've tried them, I'm a fan of POR-15 products. grab yourself a starter kit from here. you may need to buy yourself some more paint as they can they give you is tiny. http://www.por15.com/ their kit comes with degreaser, and rust neutralizer that eats away some...

sounds great Duane. I was worried that aftermarket cams might make it unreasonably smooth but your car seems just right. how do you like it driving around town/just off idle at stop lights etc. does it make you think "gah this is running like crap" or does it make you think "my car is bad ass"?

I just had a conversation with my professor, who teaches "structures and properties of materials" about my gasket project. It seems we have settled on teflon. It's got a few great properties: 1) non porous, won't leak air through it's self 2) high specific heat capacity, as good as air and even...

time for a quick update and a question! I've finally found some time to get some work done. The intake manifold and throttle body are port matched and the intake side of the head has come a long way too. Sitting in my thermodynamics class, discussing the efficiency of turbine engines, I...

make sure to let us know how that engine dampener works out, I've never seen such a solution used on a supra. If you forget, I'll remind you :). stellar welding as usual. The polishing looks great on the valve covers.
