check my compression woes thread and see if you agree with my thinking.

Block was not decked. I did take another look again and the cam cover is in a bind. I think i have now put the head i bind. with the bolts torque to 80lbs (unevenly) i'm guessing it would take move force to get the front to lay flat. I guess just loosening back and starting over might help. But...

Well i'm almost to the point of just going for a rebuild but i'm the type who wants to know whats going on and not just pay someone else to fix it. I think i'm going to take the head off again and have a local shop thats done a few 7mgte's in my area rebuild it. Also how can i check my block for...

Ok i checked the timing cover yesterday before bed and it does seem the the cover is in a little bind. I positioned the cams to get to the bolts to loosen them and it moved....a little. I re-checked the torque and everything is still @ 80lbs. rechecked compression and still basically same reads...

New to the Toyota Supra's, nice cars however a big headache. Car is a 1988 Turbo when I got it the motor was in bad shape, leaked oil everywhere. I got a motor from my brother in law (1990 7mgte). That engine had a blown head gasket. So I brought a Felpro stock head gasket and installed in...

hey david, do u have a tap for cleaning out head bolt holes?

Yeah you can have them if i have the sizes you need. I'm actually going to try and finish getting it off this weekend. The guy who owned it last torqued the hell out of the studs. I think i'm going to have to drill one of the studs out. I kinda stripped that one :icon_bigg. I'll send you my number.

Hey david, where did you get your cylinder head done at or did you do it yourself? I want to rebuild mine but it looks like alot of shit to go through. If you had yours done at a shop how much did you pay. I think i remember you had it done somewhere just cant remember.

That sucks I hate when fuckers mess with cars.:: angry :: That one thing that should never be messed with.

Hey san supra.....gotta ?. Have u ever heard of using lexus is is300 coil packs on the supra? i read an article where they r getting crazy response from the coils. extra 2-10lbs of boost on stock turbo!!!

Mannn I'm in the process of gettin my supra on the road and this is diff on the list of things i gotta do. Seems sooo easy for the response you get from the engine. Has anyone else had any issues running this set-up? How do you think it will respond on long trips (use my supra as commuter...

say foo....you got that hex set. i'm gonna try that head again tomorrow.

Hey San Supra sorry i didnt call you about the head gasket. I went ahead and ordered some parts for my bucket-ra. i guess I'll see you guys for the meet (without my supra :icon_frow). Hopefully me and my brother can get the engine put back together this weekend...running the the...

Hey SanSupra i remember you saying that you have some head gaskets. I'm trying to piece together two engines to make one. Anyway...how much did you say for the Felpro head gasket. I think i'll try that for now to get on the road. Also would you happen to have a set of ARP head bolts? if you do...

hey supra nuts, can you guys help me out on some good websites for parts. My '88 7M GTE project car is turning out to be a mutha. I need a good head gasket and maybe the head bolts as well. I've decided just to get her to run for now and go 1JZ next summer or fall. Anway enough...
