The counter shaft in a manual transmission is what splashes the lube over the whole inside of the transmission and gears and bearings, and guess what isnt spinning when you rotate the output shaft without the input shaft rotating

not saying these particular gauges are bad, they may have improved their quality but i had bought two glowshift gauges about 2 years ago and on both the different color backlighting stopped working after only a couple months

good luck dude i have a crank here and it has the same issue but seems worse. The snout where the crank pulley goes is .015" smaller than its supposed to be and the bolt that goes in the end of it rocks back and fourth in the crank a crazy amount from being rapped back and fourth in there with...

It doesnt move much with the test procedure, just unplug the one in your car and plug the one you are testing in temporarily, start the car or turn the key on for a moment and back off and watch the plunger move, as well as click a series of times after you turn the key off

I am assuming you are talking about valves, not "heads", but with hand lapping you shouldn't need any change in your lash adjustment if they are already in spec, though you will want to check it. The valves move up as the seat is ground away, so if anything the clearance would get tighter, and...

WOW... This guy is extremely lucky hes alive, not to mention that he will make a full recovery and isnt a vegetable. Things with the car will work themselves out, but for now just be happy you didnt lose a friend

They leave the center layer bare on purpose, kind of the same idea of using friction steel friction and so on for clutches, you dont mate up two friction compound surfaces together. Brake clean with a toothbrush worked really well for me, took the stuff off rather quickly.

Thanks but that doesn't tell me a whole lot about them, if they are a decent gasket, what the surface requirements are, if anyone has used them etc.

sweet! It actually worked lol!

Was browsing Ebay and came across this MHG. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FET-7MGTE-7MGE-Metal-Head-Gasket-Supra-Cressida-2mm_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea6dff63dQQitemZ200368191037QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Curious as to what it is, if...

Yeah, im asking if the benefits of higher oil pressure outweigh the benefits of having the stock mediocre oil cooler system

Im doing a stock rebuild right now, just wondering if you guys think having the stock filter head and cooler is better than not having it at all? I know it limits max oil pressure, but i dont know how important it is that oil pressure goes above ~40psi anyways.

^LOL that seems to be the question everyone has been asking about once every page for the last 8 pages, which still has not been answered.

Do a leakdown test, to get 30 PSI you need something majorly wrong.. Try putting some oil in there and see how much your numbers jump. Leakdown will tell you exactly where it is leaking though. You could have something as simple as sticking valves, you never know.

Get the two nuts off and push the lower manifold to the side, if you remove the head with the manifold on it you have to put all those hoses and wires and stuff back through where they are supposed to go and it is a major PITA. It is possible to get the two nuts off, just takes some time and the...

hahha middle valve things

+1! Even when cops are trying to be nice people say its BS! Time to buy a scion and get dealership mods i gues haha

If the valve didnt fall ALL the way into the cylinder and the stem is still sticking through the valve seat you might be able to push it back into the guide via the intake port (assuming you lost an intake valve), if its an exhaust valve dont even bother trying those ports are way too small.

NA_T is going to cost you pretty much the same if not more, not to mention you need to change the head gasket unless you want to turn your boost way down (high compression pistons are in the NA), you will have to pull your engine to change the clutch anyways, theres so much more work involved...

Grab a caliper and measure the lobe, takes two seconds. Exhaust cams by the way are identical between turbo and NA.
