Jeff will help you out, pretty sure he knows how all this works better than most. If you need one undersize bearing, there is something wrong. Either someone machined something or you have measurements that aren't correct somewhere.

Trust me it took me a while to figure out the Toyota bearing system, it is a little funky. I had to ask a lot of the more knowledgeable members on here how to use it. They are actually called undersize bearings, but I couldn't tell you how to get them, I have never needed them. Like I said if...

Oh I see what you were saying, you were just telling him what it was, it thought you were telling him to use the .25mm bearing. My bad.

hvyman I am not sure why you are insisting that he use Clevites or why you are telling him to use an undersize bearing? Undersize bearing will only be required if you are cutting the crank, and in that case, you are better off using an aftermarket bearing, as you will already be doing machine...

I would question how accurate those measurements are if you are getting numbers larger than those in the TSRM for the crank pins. If your rod big ends are bigger than spec they need to be resized, and if the main bearing bores in the block are bigger than spec, then it needs to be line honed. I...

Back, for example, if con rod #1 measures 2.1669" on the big end, that would make it a "#3" big end. If the journal measures 2.0468", that makes it a "#1" rod journal. 3+1=4, so you need a #4 bearing for the number 1 cylinder. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=70

Don't worry you aren't. In fact what is stopping me is probably the same thing stopping anyone else from doing it lol...

I figured you would find your way here :). I believe JJ made a similar statement about airflow however, that running fans with too much CFM (very large electric or Tundra fan clutch in my case) would actually hinder heat removal to some extent, though I know you two disagreed on that. What do...

I understand what you are saying here, but my issue is that it only looks at half of the equation. The more time the water is in the radiator, the more time it has to let go of heat, but of course this also means the water will be in the block for a longer amount of time, which give it more time...

Rope trick works, but is a royal PITA from my experience. Took me HOURS to do just half of the valve seals. The idea is to run a length of rope down into the cylinder with the piston at BDC, then turn the crank until the piston comes up and the rope wedges between the valves and the piston. The...

Hmm, did a little googling. This little blurb here is interesting. http://books.google.com/books?id=06TgJ1j119IC&pg=PT83&lpg=PT83&dq=&source=bl&ots=CDCUYDfi4Q&sig=cCRBzE6nJWRVu1U7uiDVPXVUaFs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HutzT8DEKMbF2QXwtsmqAg&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false Sounds a little far fetched...

I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around this one. Have you seen this happen in practice? The longer the coolant is in the rad releasing heat, the longer the coolant is in the block absorbing heat. Seems that more flow would not hinder the ability to keep the engine cool, and higher...

Because what you bolded/what I had taken out didn't change my argument at all, and didn't affect the point I was making - I don't see how it changes the context, if I saw that it changed the context I would not have removed it - it's that it had nothing to do with my argument. Again I am not...

I'm not trying to start a war here, but my statement was that if fuel pressure isn't held in the rail, it can cause the fuel to boil, and your statement was that I was wrong; it had nothing to do with the fact that it was cold outside, hence why I didn't include the part you bolded. I left the...

Did he ever figure this out?

Apparently that idea is completely ludicrous :aigo:

You've found the downside to having a maftpro my friend! Extreme lack of organized info. Have fun sifting through pages of forum talk to find your answers... Anyhow, there are four scales you can adjust. Mainscale, low, mid, and high load. Use the low for very low loads such as idle, mid for...

So fresh and so clean....
