That is true, and good luck getting it off any other way besides pulling it strait off, which would destroy your head gasket. And good luck finding a way to cut the fipg seal on the pan as well so you can pull it strait off. I would make sure you know where its leaking from and just pull the...

Wow that's great! How much did you pay for it? (sorry im too lazy to read back over all the posts again, if you dont like it when people are lazy you dont have to tell me)

So its possible to just buy the tach unit out of a turbo cluster and put it in the non turbo cluster? Does the year have to match?

Its called a bellhousing, but there is also a sheet metal cover on the bottom of the engine against the transmission. There is also a sheet metal piece that goes around the sides around the starter etc so it would be covered, if youre missing it someone took it out and you need to pull the...

Any idea what it uses it for/what it controls based on the reading?

Well the 2 bolts holding the starter are not supporting the transmission in any way, and the 4 lower bolts dont do a whole lot either considering they are just on a bracket. Theres only 4 bolts going from the transmission to the engine itself, and you've deleted two of them.

If im not mistaken the upper 2 bolts bear a lot of the load out of all of them and leaving those out is a bad idea.

Problem is very few people actually do the bearings properly, therefore very few people know anything about it. I have asked questions about these bearings and you need to be patient when waiting for answers because not many people understand the system. Have you looked at the numbers stamped on...

Hope it works out for you! Good luck dude thats a lot of work to do over and over haha.

I have a Kobalt from lowes, works fine.

This motor is going to be "rebuilt". It was just professionally rebuilt less than 10k miles ago. I already took a look at a few main and rod bearings and they look almost perfect, and they are stock select fit Toyotas, so the bottom end is ready to go, its just the cylinders i need to recondition.

I can never understand what kind of responses people that post like this expect.

There is what one looks like, and others are worse. I want to hone it, but now all i need help on it what grit hone i need?

Im looking into buying a flex hone for my 7mgte. It will be using NPR piston rings, but i have searched and searched and cannot figure out what grit flex hone i need, im tied between 180 and 240. Please help!

MHG isn't going to hurt on both NA and Turbo applications, but for stock power its not necessary. And for NA, its really overkill. I say if you want, go for it since you are pulling it all apart and doing all the machining, but if its really much extra work, i would just stick with a stock...

Dogs are strong, they can handle it. Its good to help her out if she needs something but i think shes got it all under control on her own.

If you put the flywheel back on the crank in the same spot it came off, does it sit flat? If so that is probably your best bet, doesn't look too great!

not even gonna ask.... BTW are you doing an NA or turbo build? Looks like someone put a MHG on an NA... why would anyone do that unless it was turbo'd..

This is definitely not good information... Doing it the right way involves checking everything to make sure they are within acceptable specs, not doing useless and unnecessary work. BTW pulling the motor isnt the difficult/time consuming part. Explain to me how pulling the entire engine apart...

Yes, the only major differences are the pistons, intake cam, upper intake plenum, valve covers, turbo, manifold, block (oil drain and pressure feed ports), cam position sensor, fpr, cant think of any more off the top of my head. The fan is different, but you can use a turbo fan on an NA.
