I recently put my cylinder head together and used a Felpro gasket kit i had laying around for the valve stem seals. I believe the package said "Premium Valve Seals" but i cant remember exactly as it was a while back. I have read that the brown ones are superior and are made of a different...

Can anyone give me any specific tips? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104197 I just found this thread, I only looked in the internal engine section, didn't think to look here.

The little thing on your core plug is for warranty purposes i believe, if you overheat the engine it will pop off and then they will know that the warranty is not valid anymore. They use them on heads too. Those big allen plugs are like that on all 7m's btw.

there is another oil pressure port right next to/above the dipstick hole in the block, or you can tee off the port the original sender is in

Hello all, i searched the section for all the questions on cylinder wall to piston clearance with forged pistons and got a basic idea of the situation. More power means more heat which in turn means more expansion of the piston. My situation is i am doing a rebuild with .040" Probe forged...

Well its been a long time since i have updated. I have since gotten a job and now have an income, so this is going to be a full rebuild with forged pistons, stock lower end, and MHG. The engine is at the shop right now ready to be machined, but i have gone from wanting cast pistons to forged, so...

Find the right wire in the fuel sender connector and ground it with the key on, the gauge needle should move all the way to the top, then remove the ground wire and the gauge should move all the way to the bottom (or its the opposite i cannot remember) but either way it will tell you if your...

Took it apart and you were right, they left out the detent ball ..... Me and them are going to have a little talk tomorrow. Pisses me off, they probably denied even taking a look at it because they didnt want to fix it properly. I just spent over 2 and a half hours trying to fiddle the ball and...

Well i took my car to the body shop recently because someone ran into it, was just getting the front end repaired. Took them about three times the original estimate time to finish the car, and i picked it up, looked great, drove it around all day, comes night time and i go to turn on my lights...

you sure the crank is fine?

Which radiators allow the stock fan and shroud to properly fit with no customization? I know the "older" Mishimoto radiators were too large to fit the shroud, but someone mentioned they updated their design. Did they allow fitment of the shroud in the updated design? Also where can you buy a...

Why would you EVER want to re-use the same bearings? As prone as the 7M seems to be with bearings problems, its the last thing i would do. You are rebuilding the rest of your engine, absolutely no reason not to put another $100 or so for new bearings. I hope you are going to at least...

take some pictures of your head for us when it comes out of the hot tank

I have read to break the engine in hard, but i have also read you need to drive it easy until you get 5 heat cycles and re torque the MHG... so what are you supposed to do when you have a new engine with a new MHG?

Before wrapping it with tape to hold it in, check your PCV system, make sure it is all clean. If it is you could have a blowby past the rings problem, causing too much pressure in the crankcase. Jamming the dipstick in is the last thing you want to do, you will be building pressure in the...

Lookin good!

935 is slow and has terrible communication and customer service, but i dont think they would intentionally rip you off, i would look into it more before getting too angry

I had a similar situation in my supra about 3 weeks ago... Although mine must have been at a slower speed because nobody was injured and my supra was fixable. Seatbelt did save my life though, as it has twice prior to this time. I never drive off it passengers in the car arent wearing them, if...
