Should have been more clear, i meant if the o ring is missing from the pickup, which seals it between the pump body and the pickup tube

well im sure it was checked, but the oil is full right? Also, if there was no gasket in the pickup, or if there is a hole in the pickup tube somewhere it could cause this. Its like sucking through a straw with a hole in it, youre not gonna get anything but air. Did you guys take the plugs out...

Are the thrust washers supposed to be staggered like that? Im not familiar with the 2jz, but in the 7m the tabs point strait up on both sides.

ThAT is engine slude. What you have looks pretty normal if you ask me. They probably used a dino oil and ran it a bit long, just pull a couple rod/mains and take a look at the bearings. Mkae sure you look at the upper rod bearings not just the cap side as the upper sees all the load...

Test is according to the TSRM. You will want to test fuel pressure with and without vacuum and also look for pressure to hold after you turn the engine off. TSRM has all the info you need.

Theres numbers on the side that correspond to the size of big end you have on that rod. There are however also numbers on the rod in various places that have nothing to do with it, therefore it is fairly confusing to tell you whihc one to look at without a pic. You really should not be using...

My first guess would be the core plug behind the timing cover as well, i cant think of anything else that could drain water into the pan as fast as you could pour it in

I was a little confused too, so i found this... http://www.boostcontroller.com/display_page.php?i=22 Explains it pretty well. Looks like you have a bleed off type controller, so it is hooked up differently. Just hook it up exactly as shown. You don't have to run that atmosphere line back to your...

I would just deal with it, they warned you that what you see is what you get and you agreed. Thats like buying something off of ebay and finidng that it breaks soon after you buy it. All sales are final and you know what you are setting yourself up for when you buy from places like this. If you...

Would have liked to see your pictures, but they are all gone?

I am running a 7m with probe forged pistons at about .0037" clearance and no torque plate was used, it has some minor piston slap when its cold, but clears up entirely when all warmed up, which would probably be the case even with a torque plate. I have good compression and everything, only...

Im willing to bet most machine shops that people have access to are going to charge more for the same job and will probably have older machines that wont get the proper finish like yours did. The OP seems fairly new to the head gasket thing, i just don't want him thinking its simpler than it is...

Theres a lot of factors... Keep in mind if your head has been machined and you use a stock head gasket, it better not have been machined much otherwise you are increasing your compression, increasing the chance of blowing it again. And just because machining of the block deck costs $50-60...
