Yessir...i had the lobe pointing up...180° to the shim. I checked clearance on No.2 and No.3 and those check out ok. I will verify everything when i get back home Monday and adjust shims as needed. I have some shims from an old 7M head so i do have a starting point. Also i used shims from...

Ok Rufus. Well i did get the valve covees off and took some preliminary measurements and it's indicating that No.1 valve clearances are really tight. I used the 0.063mm feeler gauge and it wouldnt slide through. That's a thin azz gauge and it didn't even act like it wanted to slide through. So...

Thanks supracentral ...yeah i was a little confused but looked it up and you confirmed. I ran out of time today but i did get the valve covers off. Rotated the cams to check clearances. Using my 0.15mm feeler gauge couldn't slide through the cam and shim on the intake side. Using the 0.20mm...

Ok... after calming down I went back out and poured a little oil down in No.1 cylinder. Compression test did not change ....65psi. I guess that can rule out rings huh. I'm going to check valve clearances next. I'm would rather it be a valve issue because if its hg i'm going to be upset. My...

The block was machined and the head and cover was also. I guess i didn't want it to be a compression issue because a spent so much time trying to get the HG situation taken care of. A few other Supra guys in my area are suggesting bent valve issues. So I'm going to try and get my hands on a leak...

Ok im just about done dealing with 7M's!!!! Did a compression test on the car......No.1 cylinder @ 65psi!!!! Going to try a leak down test first to see if its valves.....which i hope and think it is.

2mm HKS metal headgasket Ok I did the compression test thinking that couldn't be the issue..... No.1 = 65 No.2 = 150 No.3 = 148 No.4 = 148 No.5 = 148 No.6 = 150 WTF MAN!!! So i guess i'm heading towards pulling the head! I guess i'll search first on how to diagnose a valve issue before I do...

ok I'll check that to make sure i have compression.

Ok i have done a little trouble shooting this afternoon and now im stuck as what to do again. Here's what I've done... 1. I checked voltage at the B+ resistor....that was fine 2. Rechecked spark from coil to plug 3. Ohm out all injectors 4. Swapped No.1 cylinder injector with No.2 cylinder...

Ok guys...part call.. Anyone have a spare set of 440 injectors (really just 1)? I believe I have a bad in injector and would like a loner to verify. If its an injector would be willing to buy the set so you want have and odd number of injectors. ^nice bling factor

OK. So I ohmed the injector and its within specs. I also checked the voltage at the B+ resistor and thats fine. I can still have a bad injector even if it ohms out correctly...right? Just want verification.

I believe i did that and was leaning towards a bad fuel injector. I redo that test in the morning to verify.

Heys guys I need some help/advice on what to do with my car. Here's my issue and a little bio on the car... year - 1988 7MGTE engine - rebuilt (if you need spec let me know) Miles - driven about 1100 mile so far Background on issue.... My car developed a miss a while back but i felt i would...

Just by looking at the third picture install...it looks like you have to customize your hood. The exhaust pipes stick up pretty high....imo. For $850 I'd probably pass and look for proven stuff unless you want to be different. It is different. First I've seen.

What changes you making to the interior? Also take your time on the heli coils. Has anyone used dynomat or any other sound deading material on their car? I'm thinking of using some and want to know if anyone has had a noticeable change in noise.

Yeah thats true for Mike and Rufus. I'm not track ready at all but I am down to cruise with you guys next time you go to SAR. Hopefully i'm off when yall go. Also....rufus when you gonna show a brutha how to prep a car? Mike did the adjustments you made to your brakes work?

I haven't seen any warning signs. It has a street name sooo I'm gonna say its a public street. Sooo that could be possibly monitored by SAPD. Humm ......i think.

Man that sounds good to me. I'm just on the other side of IH 37 so thats an easy drive for me. I went this morning and got up to about 95mph before i shut it down. Power sliding that corner would be fun......until you hit that curb!!!

I dont do this often but....i do apologize for the 'search' comment. IndigoMKIII was right. The main reason I came to this site was of the SF comments. So maybe look in the build up/gallery forums. There are memebers there in certain stages of their builds. May have to look at several to get...
