the guy at scroggins = bleh im letting them rebuild my block but taking my head somewhere else. He tried telling me it was trash because the head was shaved out of toyota specs. well no shiet thats why we run thicker gaskets. the head i sold you worked perfectly with no problems. screw...

Damn, should be a pretty sick truck when its done

Only if the car doesn't sell, sure.

Seriously? Slap your builder.

I swapped the harness and a few other things and it started right up. But it has rod knock. Can't/can believe it. It was advertised as having absolutely ZERO motor problems. Lies. So now I'm selling the piece of crap to try to get my money back.

Mind shooting me a PM with info of how much Scroggins charged you for the rebuild and what they did for the price?

I'm gonna pm you :)

I'm in the process of. Replacing the harness. I took the old one out and it looks like crap. I'm checking my spare one and soldering up any and all breaks in the wiring. There's a couple things I'm confused about though. When I was pulling the harness in the car, a thick red wire coming...

Btw, the car is not throwing any codes.

Bought an 88 model supra today that won't turn on. Gets fuel, cranks real strong, but no spark. Changed out the ecu, igniter, resistor, coil pack, plug wires, cps, and tps. Grounded a plug out, turned it over, nothing. If someone could chime in with another possible problem, please do...

To fix that cam gear, you just gotta get it re-welded up and have a new hole drilled through. Like I said, I gave them to you because they were just paper weights in my garage, already ordered new Fidanza gears for the motor I'm building. GL with the build!

Hopefully I'll be back in town a bit early, so I'll be able to get with you asap. I've got a brand new 2mm HKS gasket also, just took it out of the bag to set on the block then put it back in the bag lol. If you need it let me know, I'll cut you a good deal if you pick up the CT also :D BTW...

its just strange that i have two with this problem, yet one of these gaskets just came off another motor and was holding 20lbs constantly.

the small studs coming out of the block deck. the 3mm came off my recently blown 7m, and now i want to put it on my good block. both blocks are completely stock. when the head gasket lays on the deck, the studs (one on the dront side of the deck, one on the back) hold it in place. the...

So I got my block and head all cleaned up ready for the head to be installed. Cleaned up my 3mm MHG, set it on the block, and it won't fit. I've heard of this being an issue before. I messed with it for a while but never got it on. So I pulled it off, recleaned the block deck again, and...

Yup, definetely not seeing anything.

I was told to take a long and run it across the block deck then wipe the deck down with brake cleaner before I do the headgasket install. Is this right? Never heard this method before.

Hmmmmm the plot thickens. I guess ill just start rebuilding the damn thing. I have a few pulley pullers, so that's no issue then. Cool. Thanks to those that have helped thus far, keep me informed on things I should look for. I'm going to post pics of the dissassembly process and reassembly.

I appreciate the effort. Keep me posted please!
