What's really nice was that those studs were a batch from 2006 and they stood behind a bad nut from then. Usually you will here some stupid 'its out of warrenty' crap. I'm glad they did.
All threads on studs are ok. I call a bunch of performance shops to see if I could buy a nut and some had them but I had to but the whole set....i don't think so!! Thought about buying a thread kit...didn't want to risk it. So I called ARP.....sending me some nuts and studs for FREE. Also I...
Ok....i think the Supra gods dont want me to get my car back together. I've been sitting and waiting to fix this car for over a year (life,college...yeah). So i finally have a little change left after paydays and have been working on getting it back together for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Soooo fast...
Hey Rufus. Just wanted to thank you for helping me out on getting my cylinder head within specs. I ordered those bigger shims and i think that i learned enough to change them out. Gasket should be here today....ups says out for delivery.
Mike,
Why i gotta be the old man?? My feelings...
Nice!!!! Don't forget to keep a list of what you need so yo bestest brutha n law can just shop and swap when he's ready. BTW....is that the blue interior or am I ruining yo build by letting it slip you changed it to grey?!
Hey Rufus,
I got that Lexus AFM housing for you. When do you want me to drop it off to you? I also ordered those shims....being @ Pick-n-Pull and striking out on everycar was a pain!!! Hopefully the headgasket will be in by then since driftmotion is shut down till 7/5. I'm hoping to have the...
Hey Rufus,
I got those shims from David. Going to work (night run...hate'em) tonight but off this weekend. I know its fathers day weekend but if you dont have anything planned can we see if these shims will fit so i can continue with trying to get mine together.
What time of day are they spotting your car? I live on that side of town by Brooks Citybase. I'll be off for the next couple days and i'll keep a lookout for it...maybe drive around those areas for ya.
Man....with a brotha n law like you ....who needs enemies!!!

Thanks powaz!!! My feewings were a little hurt from the know it all!!
It's like insurance. You pay a crappy premium.....you get crappy coverage. The ARP bolts are like that......very good insurance....torque to @ least 85-90lbs.
When measuring the block (i bought my block and it was decked already) is the main saddle bearing the top of the crank where the crank pulley goes. If so.... i'm to measure the top of crank to the top of the block deck with the crank pulley off...correct?!
David,
thanx man for letting me use that stand for a bit. I actually figured out today that I could het some things done (#&!* heat has been talking me out of working on car) without money. So I've got off my tail and tranfered about half the block to my new block. All it cost was some sweat!!
Rufus,
yeah Mike mention that to but the one on the cover is way smaller than that. So I'm gonna say all that stuff is for a 7M-GE. BTW....engine looks good ....but that round thingy looks important.
Hey fellas ...and ladies
Finally getting started on my 7M. It's been a long wait so hopefully I can get it done in 3 weeks. David I hope thats ok since i have your engine stand...if not just say you need it and i'll curse you out and give it back...lol. OK i got this half block from...
Rufus,
Here is what i'm talking about on the link provide. I know of the brace that comes off the mount but there is another brace. I've removed it before but now i don't even know where it is now. But maybe we are talking about the same thing ...oh well...
