I wish I did, but I am not that steady yet. Was thinking of getting a new miller syncrowave tig, but it is a bunch of $$

My non upgraded ct-26 has gone 12.61 in the 1/4 mile without nitrous. I am not even the fastest and I was not even trying to set any kind of record. Car was still 100% full weight targa car with nothing removed. So if your after the record for a OEM stock ct-26, good luck to you.

Adjuster got to it first. Like he said. The pistons have holes drilled that "accumulate" oil on the downward movement of the piston. Some of the oil wiped by the oil rings is forced through these holes to feed the wrist pins. I don't think you would need to go so far as to rifle drill the rod...

Also lets add, that a stopper is the only gasket expensive enough, that would warrant using more than once. No reason to re-use a bead type. The cost of a new one does not out weight the work cleaning the old one.

I will retract my statement when you post a dyno sheet of over 1000 WHP. :)

The 3 new un-used vintage asbestos OEM 7m Headgaskets I have on hand are 1.270mm thickness with a 84.633mm bore size. A current 2010 OEM Toyota head gasket is 1.524mm thick with a 84.709 bore. There could be many other OEM sizes in between these as we all know Toyota has used different...

Tires away for a certain 7m powered car overseas. Custom built water to air heat exchanger for the same 7m

Not sure what you mean by that or why you feel the need to troll and post that in this thread, but the guy who posted that is a con artist and is trying to rob me of 1000 dollars just for your info. That all I have to say about it in this thread since it has nothing to do with this thread.

If the pistons do not have a suggested clearance, then .0010 to .0011 per inch of bore is what most machine shops will look for unless told something else. The TSRM is based on OEM specs and HP levels. Increase the piston size and you need to increase the clearance a little. Increase the power...

Congrats sir, it can get habit forming!

Here is a pic of the start of an interesting project a friend of mine is doing. This pic is of the dual spec clutch kit, but I had the hubs converted to a GM spline type hub. His 7m will be mated to a custom made dogbox transmission for use on the 7mgte. I hope to have more pics of this and some...

Same boat Vlad? Same email? When are you leaving?

Yes, every block and every bearing will be a little different due to inconsitancy, so some of them could crush more than others. But they really do not take much effort to put them in. Could be deflecting a little. But some of that could be the method used to install also. Every bearing...

Looking good! How much aluminum did you need to remove to allow the cam lobes to spin? Last several heads I build with my cams need a good amount removed.

Looking good Mike!

I just made a ream out of an old oil shaft so it cuts both bearings at the same time. Made a driver too that has both sizes on one shaft. I will post some pics after I get around to taking some.

Yes, could just be that more and more people are trying to install the bearings themselves.

Sounds like I need to post a video or picture of the tool I made to size those bearings IJ. Toyota must have changed the nominal ID size of these bearings within the last year because I have never seen so many issues in the last 10 years as I have just this year alone.

Not sure, but I am thinking that some of them have been from over heating and maybe some of them from just the design of the late model block. None of the ones I have seen have much in common.

Going to pull the motor and trans from this car. Someone wants to buy the full 5 speed swap.
