I am just finishing up a rebuild on my 7m, and i had a couple questions. There are two hex socket oil gallery plugs on the front and back of the engine block, does anybody know the torque spec for these? I have searched the TSRM and cannot find the spec for these plugs. I made them tight with a...

I recently got my block back from the machine shop, it hadn't been cleaned, so i took the task of cleaning it. I used a pressure washer and cleaned it thoroughly, and applied wd40 immediately after i stopped spraying water. I scrubbed it with dish soap, rinsed and did the same thing. After this...

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...

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 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...

Hello everyone i just have a few small questions. Basically i have a bare block that has already been hot tanked and i noticed it still had the original oil pump drive shaft bearings in place. I have read that they need to be replaced if they have been hot tanked. I installed my drive shaft and...

Anybody have any tips for good reputable machine shops in or around Phoenix Az? Basically what i am looking for is a shop that can get surface finishes down to 30 RA for the block and head. Cant seem to find any information about this, and this forum doesn't seem active at all so who knows if i...

I had problems with this last summer, but now its starting to act up again now that its getting hot out. My problem is at low speeds, specifically idle. With my AC on, idling in traffic on 105+ degree weather (in the sun, at night when its 100+ i don't seem to have issues), my temp seems to...

So im in the market in the future for a fully rebuilt 7mgte short block with a warranty. I was wondering if there were any trusted companies that people have experience with for these engines. I have tried buying numerous slightly used 7mgte engines and every single one of them has a ton of...

Hey everyone i recently picked up a running 7mgte shortblock from a local. It was supposedly build approximately 10k miles ago by a reputable machine shop. I pulled it apart, and it has OEM Toyota select fit bearings in it, so i was happy about that, but for some reason, one bearing on one rod...

Well I am doing some work on my head off the car, and a few of the studs stripped out, so i wanted to Helicoil all of them. What I'm wondering is, are the taps for Helicoils proprietary? I have a very large tap and die set and I would hate to buy a full Helicoil kit if I already have the proper...

Hello everyone. I recently bought a 7mgte with a fully rebuilt cylinder head etc, but the previous owner stripped out a head stud nut and ended up grinding the head of it down in the cylinder head, and then ran the car after he fixed it with all the shavings still in the head:aigo:. Anyways, i...

Ok well i have been on the local AZ Supras forum and im having a hard time finding a machine shop. Theres a lot of controversy over which one to go to. A lot of people have good experiences with one but then someone else had a bad experience with them. Im looking for a machine shop anywhere in...

Well i have purchased a short block that was recently rebuilt, and towards the top of a few of the cylinders there is some staining that appears to be from coolant dripping over when the head was removed ( a guess as to what it actually is from). My question is, it this ok or does the whole...
