Makes sense. So just to make sure, in order to fit aftermarket "std" size bearings, the journals need to be polished all to the same diameter (which the machine shop would know?), the rods need to be re sized to a size the machine shop would know, and the block needs the saddles re sized to a...

Even if the nuts of the rod were just "loose"... isnt that his fault anyways. He built the engine and it failed, he is responsible. I would not have him do any further work on your car. Even if he forgot the thrust washers, he should have checked endplay and if he did, he would have seen...

Theres not a single damn 5sfe out there with good valve seals hahaha:cry:

Just look at the back of the bearing shell it should be printed or stamped on there

Does it ever smoke on decell?

I wanted to get some opinion in here on using copper spray on a stock head gasket. From my experience, all stock head gaskets i have removed without spray have been "stuck" to the surfaces of the block/head to an extent. The head gasket itself seems to have some sort of sealer built into it? Am...

You probably mean the key. The "keyway" is the slot cut into the actual crank, its nt replaceable, its part of the crankshaft. As everyone is saying, its hard to believe that the parts you mentioned got damaged but the crankshaft itself didn't, it just doesn't make sense.

Did you ask them what they did to fix it and what was wrong?

Ah that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

Would be wise to change them all out as the others are probably fatigued. Its easy and cheap enough... By the way the lug nut spec is 76 Ft Lbs not 100! That is way too high. Use some anti seize on the threads too.

If your pulley just came loose enough to start making noise and you stopped the car right away its very unlikely you did any internal damage, I believe is what everyone is trying to convey. Mechanical damage on the snout of the crank from the actual pulley wobbling around is what you should be...

How would a polish bring all the journals to the same size? Do they measure it as they polish? Also, if you line hone the block done you need oversize bearings then because of the increased size of the block saddles?

Shit happens, just stop speeding!

Does toyota make 1mm oversize or do i have to go aftermarket for those? Any idea how expensive they are?

do they make 1mm oversize? Is it even safe to run like that with the cylinder walls being so thin between cylinders? How big do they get? Thats like .040" over.

Too bad i paid $800 for it LOL! hilarious. :|

Yes, .75mm over i believe. If you take a look here in the tsrm it lists the "O/S .50" http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=78 I dont have a mic big enough for the piston, but using a dial caliper for a rough measurement it was larger than the .50 o/s. And you know...

HAHAHA, oh my gosh, you guys are going to laugh. As if this engine couldnt get worse, i cleaned the pistons and whats stamped on them? .75..... Thats right, my pistons are a .75 oversize... that means my block is junk too. I didn't know how one engine can be so fucked up.... And worst of all i...

Im done with used parts... Im just going to go all out full rebuild on the shortblock. I no longer have any trust in other peoples parts or work. Its going to take some serious $$, but its just a matter of time to get there (and work!). And yes, the gearwrench ratchets are amazazing. Mine have...
