Albert, could you pm Me the price of one set of coil plates? 3.0 GT, did you use the stock pipe routing over the valve covers? EDIT: I edited the text above.

Albert, was there any conflict between a coil an the pressure pipe running over the valve covers? I'm guessing not, but I want this confirmed. Do you still have those coil mounting plates that I saw in some thread?

It would be great if you could post some pics sooner rather than later :) Was there any problem with the pressure pipe going to the throttle?

A height measurement would be great. Perhaps it's possible to rotate the conflicting coils in another direction to clear the linkage and pipe

Anyone who can confirm if it works or not?

Does anyone have more info if these coils clear the stock throttle linkage and pipes?

Hello, this is a very nice project that you've got going. In the above quote you wrote that you will have a compression ratio of 11,2:1. But you also specify that the density of plasticine is the same as water. A quick google search showed that plasticine has a density of 1,85 g / cm^3 which is...

As I wrote in this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?153267-A-crack-in-an-exhaust-port-useless-head I have picked up another head which is in far better overall condition except for the exh. studs which needs helicoil.

hvyman, that's a good point. Since I'm spending a lot of my hard earned money (still in school, working mostly during the summer break = not so much money) I don't want this to fail due to a shortcut. I picked up another head yesterday which is in far better condition overall and no cracks :)...

hehe :) Thank you. Some tasks are more fun then others. For example, sanding and shaping fiberglass reinforced putty is not so much fun after awhile. But watching at the progress (and finally the end result) and thinking that I did this on my own is very fun :)

Yes, did you forget to look at the previous page? ;)

do you have some paint samples to share?

-:|Update - 2011-11-12|:- Today I painted my engine block with a coat of paint to keep the rust away. I will finish painting it when the freeze plugs are in. I got help from a friend so we rolled the supra away to the garage washing spot where I could remove the putty from the right side...

-:|Update - 2011-11-07|:- Today I picked up my engine block. The head surface is shaved and the bores are 0,5 mm bigger now :) I also welded my new wheel arch in place. Pictures: The engine block Wheel arch in place

-:|Update - 2011-11-04|:- Since the new metal is in I could continue with the wheel arch itself. Pictures: The hole to fill... ...with this

-:|Update - 2011-10-27|:- Today I finished welding the new metal in place. I will grind the welds down later. Pictures: Finished welding the new metal

-:|Update - 2011-10-26|:- I welded some more on the new metal today. I'm doing one spot weld at a time and cool it with compressed air to avoid distortion. Pictures: More spot welds

-:|Update - 2011-10-24|:- I gave up on my previous dent fixing idea. The metal is getting too weak so I decided to weld in some new metal instead :) Pictures: First a small hole to see what's behind Then a big hole to remove the damaged metal And finally some new metal

-:|Update - 2011-10-23|:- Today I continued with the dent and even though it gets better, the metal is getting weaker. Pictures: The dent gets better

-:|Update - 2011-10-16|:- Now it's time for some bodywork. First I had to remove the old putty, which was a lot :S Then I marked out where the big damages was. I wanted to fix the dent (caused by my welding) in front of the wheel arch first. So I welded an attachment for the slidehammer...
