Last night I installed a new gasket on my shifter, it's the red one in this pic: and the 4 bolts were not holding the plate all the way, there was a 1-2 mm gap I could push down on and it would spring back up when I let go. I just kept torquing the bolts but the gap wouldn't close, one bolt...

So I have a block that has been bored/honed .020 over, a crank that was polished, stock rods that were balanced and npr pistons that were balanced. The machine shop says the cylinders were all bored the same and that my npr pistons were all mic'd the same and therefore the order does not...

1).050 2).050 3).051 4).051 5).052 6).070 noticed bearing was slightly rotated in cap, not completely flush cap end to cap end 7).053 tsrm standard clearance .021-.053, max clear .07 Polished crank with standard Clevite badged, NDC bearings. Not particularly happy with this...

I just noticed my main caps are scratched up.. Either they were like that when my engine was running or the machine shop did something weird but here they are. Finger nail catches so I figured it had to be an issue.

Going to install them tonight after class and had some qq's. What is permatex #4? I've searched google and the permatex site and nothing comes up. Is the plug under the timing plate supposed to be in backwards? What's the proper way to get it out, I was thinking drilling a hole and prying...

I've been suggested .020 bore&hone, .010 on crank journals if you want to view pics of everything I have them here, http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/oo175/Bri7manx/3rd%20times%20a%20charm/ labeled "6,5,4"...etc. I want to go with this kit...

I got her started with an old alternator I cleaned up and she started right up. Birdcage light on regardless of resuvoir filled to full and radiator full + cooling system burped. Been through about 4-5 full operating temp cycles since engine together, will re torque arp studs before next...

So there's a short that happens on startup but I can't locate the wire shorting for the life of me. It happens on startup when the motor is just about to start and then after it will just crank forever. I see the smoke shoot out behind the alternator in the loom sitting on top the lower...

So I just fired my engine up for the first time in months. I had my engine out and did the oil squirter's and pumps and such. I just started her and she fired up but rough idle and the rpm's would drop low then die but this is cause i haven't set the timing and tps just yet. Then I start her...

Theres this leak in between my water jacket where it connects to the water housing dead on at 16278A in http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=1603&P=2 I can see the water droplets forming right there and I took some pics. The problem is I can't get it to go away. I...

I'm in the process of changing a water jacket gasket because I noticed it was leaking. I was filling my ghetto repaired radiator with distilled water and I noticed the leak. This was going to be the first engine start in months from my little rebuild. Anyways as i was unbolting my turbo oil...

I was just putting fluids in my car and about to fire her up for the first in a couple months and the radiator has a small hole in it. Apparently it fell over from being propped against my workbench at some point when I was tearing into my engine but anyways I can see the little hole and the...

I remember seeing a thread on here or somewhere else about a guy doing the sogi mod with a bunch of pictures. He also deleted the whole upper section of the shifter by heating it and removing the rubber tubing inside. Then he threaded the stock shifter head on the lower portion of the shifter...

I got a new carrier bearing for my 89 7mgte r154 tranny and theres a leg coming out of it at a 45deg angle on one side and i can't remember which side that faces when installed... It's really bugging me cause I don't wanna put it on till I know for sure I've looked all over online and there's...

So I surprisingly don't have the right size lower bolts to tighten my mounts up. I bought em from a member and it didn't come with lower bolts. The ones that were on before don't fit these newer ones. Does anyone know the thread pattern/size for the newer 89+ round mounts so i can go buy em?

I have the orange engine hoist from Harbor Freight and I'm not happy with it. I have to jack my car about a foot for it clear underneath and come in from the side with the tire in between its supports. I then literally climb in my engine bay and stand(yes stand) on my transmission to lower it...

I bought a orange soldering iron from Harbor Frieght a while ago and it's never been able to get the wires I'm soldering hot enough to melt the solder on it. I've been "bubble" soldering with it since I got it by melting the bead on the iron then rubbing it on but it's really been a hassle...

I'm about to install my perma cool 4 row cooler but I can't decide on a location that doesn't block flow to my intercooler/radiator and still functions great. I've seen people that have mounted it right to ther intercooler and some that put it between the radiator and a/c. Wouldn't those...

So I have everything I need to rebuild my cps following the rebuild thread and I'm trying to get the dowel out of the gear. I drill a hole on one side last night and then found I don't have any sort of peen to peen it out so my dumb-ass decided to drill into the other side and maybe it'l...

I paid $65 at my local Ford dealer for 3qts with modifier and it was 75w140 because apparently they are the same thing according to the parts dep guy. Does anyone know of a way to get this cheaper?
