'nother 7M -- picked up a shortblock with only about 70k on it a few weeks ago for free. Besides...I don't like the sound of the 1J's let alone not understanding the hype about 'em....and a 2J is just too damn expensive to throw in...LOL!

Apparently...lol.

Just like Celebrities, they must die in 3's.... :sarcasm: :biglaugh:

Yeah, I actually thought about trying to push it all the way from Vegas to here....stopping every half-hour to pour oil back in it...LOL! Luckily, my Grandma and Uncle talked me out of that nonsense....would've sucked to have that motor blow a hole in the side of the block in the middle of...

....Without my Supra -- It only made it as far as Vegas. Cliffs version: something let go somewhere at the front of the motor (gasket, seal...something), started pissing oil...limped it to Vegas from Baker, and by the time I got it to Vegas, it had the dreaded Rod Knock....I think the only...

It just so happens that I checked the Torque specs on both of my new wrenches when I bought them a few months ago -- Craftsman Digi-Torque and a cheapie li'l Harbor Freight one....both were within a lb. of indicated setting on our torque standard....I was esp. surprised that the Harbor Freight...

Sometimes it's necessary to use an extension to torque a head, depending on the vehicle/motor...

Dude....is that an R/T in your sig pic? If so, you know the owner....or just some random at the track? (Just curious...lol) :biglaugh:

Firestone for a couple months....gonna live in Mom's basement 'til I get situated and find a roommate....then I'll be moving down into Denver.

Haven't really gotten a good look at the suspension on these cars yet, but I had a problem like that with my truck. On that vehicle, there's a 'dog bone' that runs along the frame rail between the mounting points where the upper control arm meets the frame. There's two studs that that dog bone...

I'm gonna be all moved out there this weekend -- who wants to help me unload the moving truck??? LOL! j/k...

IMO -- Get rid of the Ghey-ass paint job, clean the motor up/drop in a GTE.....wouldn't be too bad. Whoever did the body work actually did a pretty good job molding that shit in. I almost bought a Mk3 a few years ago, was down in the San Diego area (Vista) -- had a front bumper and rear lights...

Quoted For Truth

I bought said knock-offs.....the fiberglass ones. They even came from overseas (paid a grip in shipping because of that...*grumble*) Fitment was garbage, too wide at the mount points -- we're talking a good 1/8-1/4" gap when one side is screwed to the headlight assembly. I'm sure someone with...

Do you have the spark plugs in the motor....? If so, take them out.

Hey, isn't that what all that cocoa butter and aloe and such is for???? heheh... :sarcasm:

Damn, Girl -- get a tan!!!! :biglaugh:

Don't have 4 jackstands, but I got'er dun. Pump method wasn't so much a bitch as it was messy....cheap li'l Harbor Freight pump that started leaking....I think the diff fluid is the easiest thing to change on this car...lol.

Yeah...found that out yesterday.....changed my fluid and used the pump method under the car....didn't want to pull the console and shifter again since I recently did it already....next time I'm going that route!!

Thanks DT. :biglaugh: I've gotten many compliments on the goatee before whenever I get the chance to grow it out....it'll be making a comeback hopefully within the next couple weeks....heheh. I just wish the Navy would allow beards and such like they did back in the day... :3d_frown:
