    Thats what I was thinking. Looks like there is a casting line on the right side of the port in the pic. Clean up that bridge area between the ports you might be able to see it better--

    sandblasting

    I have the one on the right. Purchased it from Norther tool & equip. Does a good job, however your need the biggest compressor possible. Using a 6HP 30gal tank Craftsman - it is taxed to the limit. When blasting outside it will cover everything with sand in a 10 ft. radius. You can blast...

    Why do you love your Supra?

    The Supra has it all Power, handling, looks and features way ahead of its time. When I am at work and some of the younger guys start talking about their ricers, (WXRs, Evos, Mazdas etc.) and how fast they are its funny how quite they get after they ask what I drive - and I say its just a 87...

    To Bore or Not to Bore?

    Very good info, it is appreciated. I have found a shop that does machine work that is within reason. They do lots of work on 2jz and have done a number of 7ms as well. I have a pile of new parts :suspension, brake, engine body, etc. to go on this car. Will start a build thread soon. Cheers,

    To Bore or Not to Bore?

    Searches did not yeild much on this. After inspecting the bores on my block they look very good (a slight amt of cross hatch left) and no ridges marks etc. They all measure within 82.99 mm to 83.01 mm. Would you suggest just going back with stock size and light hone or go ahead with rebore...

    key code

    The key code is on the lock cylinder on the passanger side. Toyota no longer has records for the older cars on file (called toyota Nat. office and 3 dealers) in any case get the key code from the cylinder and your parts guy at any Toyota dealer can make you a new master in 3-4 mins.

    Compressor

    The ones that are "oil less" (teflon rings) will not last as long as the ones with iron piston rings and an oil sump. Look for CFM of 8 or more at 90 psi. I have the Craftsman 33 gallon 6HP upright model and a sandblaster will make it run constantaly. A larger tank will allow longer work...
