Holy shit dude that is clean! I bought mine for that with a dud engine and warped panels... I don't think so, it looks like a taillight is out light. Id say your back right.

Well I cleaned it thoroughly with a air compressor at 80psi for about 2 days shooting it in every nook and cranny. Still in some places in the head very very small particles were probably left behind as the oil could have held it in there. The pistons were clean didn't have a spec and still the...

Okay so it took me about an hour and a half to get my filter off because I refused to remove my lower IC... but I was successful!! It's my second oil filter I had the first one on for a week after my machined head/block for reference. I didn't remove my pistons when I had this done so some small...

Oh oops! i got the numbers all mixed upXD. Anywways I JUST drained my oil after heatin her up for a bit. The bright spots in the pic are bubbles not shavings. Other than having coolant in the oil it doesn't look to have shavings.

Alright well I'm getting ready to go out and do these tests. Now for the belt am I just taking off the cam belt? A member is selling me a new water pump for $125 so I'm really thankful for that. Edit, Wouldn't running my car w/o the timing belt smash up my valves?

I think you're in the same boat as me. My view which can be incorrect, is that the squeak your hearing "from your timing belt", is the bearing spun around your crank slowly breaking loose your rod if not already. Eventually it will turn into a chatter as the rod can move more freely around the...

Yes I have a machined head/block cometic hg and arp studs in it currently torqued at 80 ft llbs with all new gaskets/hoses a stage3 clutch light fly full 3" tanabe medallion touring, apexi intake yes I thought I had the basics taken care of with slight issues leading to my demise. I do agree...

Yeah when I was measuring my shims I also used a .03 personal tolerance. This was with a starrett micrometer I believe but when I measured with my digital calipers I wiped the surfaces clean each time along with what I was measuring and calibrated it to zero. I was referring to its travel...

Ooooooh youre right I didn't think of that... This is what I have used to measure in the past but I used my friends dad's micrometer he is issued working at Boeing that gets calibrated on a basis and compared it to mine and it was off by up to .1mm. It really made me mad so I don't trust...

Okay, I think I will have the machine shop do this because I don't have any quality measuring devices. What is the bore size so I know how to calculate new rings? Also I'm looking at bearings and rings on HPF and I'm wondering what is quality for main bearings, rod bearings, and piston...

Lmao alright. I think I want to get new rings because I didn't do that and it would suck to do a compression test after to find theres a leak. I'll get them honed then. Now since I will hone them I will be able to use my stock pistons just slightly bigger rings right?

Definitely I am next weekend. Do I have to hone the cylinder walls? There was no rust or anything but you say I should? Does honing require a different sized piston/rings?

Yeah I learned my lesson.... I'm definitely not racing again until I know in my mind that everything is 100%. As for the psi and inj test I was just in my garage doing that. 18psi cold start, 2psi warm idle, 18psi @ 2500rpm's normal op temp engine. After pulling each injector I noticed no...

Yeah I realized this after some ebay searching. It's fine I can just repair with whatever is sufficient for now and tear her apart again in a year or so when I can spend more. The npr's seemed pretty cheap but if my pistons are fine I'll just keep em. I'm sure they are. Anyways what I want to...

None of this shit please, I already admitted I did something stupid.

Here's a better one. The first was shitty. Please take into consideration that I did four heads up balls out 1/4th runs with about a minute rest period with the oil pressure in OP. Anyways here's a better one...

My camera didn't pick up the squeak above engine but if you ff to the end when it's under the car you can hear it. http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/oo175/Bri7manx/supra/?action=view&current=P9050196.flv

I just know... I've been working on this car for 6 months and I know all the sounds it makes. I looked up on youtube to verify the sound and bingo. Haha my power goal is to make people scream:biglaugh:. If I had the money I would be hands deep in my engine right now with top of the line...

South LA, border of Torrance and palos verdes. Really appreciate it bro. First I gotta see what kind of damage this bearing did and what I can afford to do. Sucks because this was my daily driver and I have school mon-fri. So I'll be figuring out how I'm going to do this rebuild...

Yeah dude... I have a problem with getting ahead of myself and doing things when I shouldn't be. I knew I had low oil pressure, but the adrenaline hit and these fucking fools talking shit standing around their gt's and z28's staring at my car like its worthless and their american muslce is...
