Hopefully the current block will be able to get surfaced but they feel deep. I have doubts on the timing cover too as the gasket surfaced was media blasted Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Called them this morning and sounds like they will take care of it. I'll need a new set of pistons and have the block and timing cover surfaced. Worse case I'd have to pay shipping I think. It's too bad they came like this, the head looked perfect too. Wonder if a different person worked on...

Mine isn't stronger thats for sure. They were packaged great, i doubt it's from shipping. Feels like a screwdriver was taken to the block surface, they are pretty deep! Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Well this isn't good... I'll be having a talk with the machine shop in the AM Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Engine is finished at the machine shop so I'll have them ship it down as soon as send the payment. Work interfered with their hours otherwise I'd drive there. I also fixed the rust/ corrosion under the factory battery location. I pained both sides to match, gloss black with clear. I plan to do...

Springs showed up at their shop today. Hopefully I can pick up everything be the end of next week and start assembling. Big stack of parts on the engine table just waiting to be put on. It's been too long since this thing has been running! Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Right on, glad to see its running good Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Jokes on me, for some reason I was thinking the needle was facing the other direction. It's been months since I've been in mine unfortunately.. As far as doing the opposite of what I said, I'm clue less.. I guess it's better than being hot! Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Assuming this is a rhd car? Generally when you turn a car off after its up to operating temp, the coolant temperature will climb a little bit right away. So if you start the car back up then drive it around, it will cycle the coolant bring it back down to operating temperature. If you're...

Unfortunately they are single valve springs. Thanks for the heads up though! I purchased a set of supertech dual springs, titanium retainers. They were 40% off and only had 2 sets left. I looked at the reviews and only came across for a 2jz, sounds like they are decent springs Now to wait for...

so far heres what i have done to the block and head at the shop. honed, balanced rotating assembly with 7m crank, resurface block and head if needed (30ra or better), polish crank and clean. so with the hx52 being a higher rpm turbo, im looking into some valve springs to get me into higher...

dropped off all my engine parts at the machine shop today. let the rebuild begin!

Ouch! Too bad all those parts were in there, hope your insurance covers the car and any damaged parts that aren't use able Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Thanks man. Saved up and waited for the right deal, usually they come up when you aren't looking. Much better than financing something, Ive never had a payment and don't plan to. Much less headache imo Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

I ended up selling the hx35 to a guy on one of the Facebook pages. Would have been nice just to keep it as a decorative piece like my ct26 pen holder but it was too expensive. Engine is still apart. I bought a truck so I'll have to put it on hold a little longer Sent from my SM-J320V using...

All good things come to an end. Getting closer to having it ready to go in again. Time to decide on some parts Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

uploaded the last video i had of my supra running. sounded pretty good https://youtu.be/gyq40nkmEKk

From what they were saying, I think it was atf, that they had never done a 7m to th400 converter. They sell a a340e to th400 adapter but it was intended to be used on a 2jz engine. I ordered this and then return it later. The wait was because they would have to design/fabricate a converter it's...

Not having to let off when shifting, which will in turn be quicker. Although after some talking with a few torque converter companies, I might not go this route anymore. Looks like it's about a 3 month wait to get one made up and will be very expensive. So for now, R154 it is. The build...

That's true. This 7m will live to boost another day however To put the power to the ground, here's a sneak peek of the new transmission. Th400. Really it's about the same size, if not slightly smaller once I cut off the bellhousing Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk
