Loki, How many miles on the engine with that oil pressure?

If it sounds like a chopper, you have got to have an exhaust leak somewhere. Get that fixed first.

When I reassembed the engine, my bearing clearances were a little big, but not much. Someone here told me that it should be fine, but the oil pressure may not read as high if the clearances were smaller. Dunno.

That truly sucks. I've just discovered on my fresh rebuild that the front main seal may be leaking.

me too...

Oh yes. Thanks.

:bsflag:

Okay, I guess you can run more the 3-5 psi. Take a look at what other mods those guys have that are running in the 8-15 psi range though. I could just be :blah: :blah: though. Good luck man.

Thanks isnms. That makes me feel better. Although, thats a huge range for "normal" driving.

Hmmm....that's interesting because I know its been in California since it was new. Family owned car.

Yes, new oil pump was installed. No, not in Canada. On my gauge there is a "-" then "2". It mostly stays at the "-" at idle, then "2" at freeway speeds. And the measurment is kg/cm2. I am trying to translate that into psi.

Dunno, you'd have to ask one of the N/A-T guys around here. I've been told its really only safe to run about 3-5 psi of boost on the na pistons.

We turned on to a two lane onramp that merges into one just before freeway entrance. I was already a little ahead of him when the lanes began to merge. At first he was on my butt, then I saw him switch lanes. He was at my back tire when I gunned it. I was doing 75 by the time I hit the...

Also, I think the 6m has a higher rev limit. Its lighter so it will spin eaiser. You may not even be able to tell a difference. I also have a 6m crank.

I think others have purchased a new harness for under $400. Run a search on it. The other questions, I think a Toyota belt would be just fine. Dunno on your hg question.

Yeah, you'd have to be careful with that setup. I don't think you'd be able to boost as much with NA pistons vs T pistons.

Where does everyone's stock oil pressure gauge read? My rebuilt engine has 225 miles. Running 20/50 castrol. At idle it will read between the first "-" and "2". At highway speed it will read just above "2". If my calculations are correct "2" is about 32 psi. That seems low.

I would personally have problems paying 30k for a car that is 10 years old. But if the Supra will hold the value and its in good shape, then maybe. I am an autoracist because I hate Volkswagen.

Congrats. Nice pics in the other thread too.

I like the Lincoln LS. It may be my next car too.
