    No oil pressure from oil pressure switch. HELP!

    If this engine is not running, check to make sure that the oil pump driveshaft pulley is ok.

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    So, I pulled the head this afternoon. Both surfaces looked good, as did the gasket. In fact, the gasket looks perfect- none of the viton even broke. However, it seemed like the entire surface of the gasket was oily, as was the deck surface, so I think that the oil passages weren't sealing...

    Just the smallest of updates: I began removing parts today to get the head off, and I'll probably finish up the removal tomorrow. Here's the #1 & 2 spark plugs, when I pulled the coil assembly off: I just don't get it. The valve covers are secure, and the galley plugs are sealed. I...

    7MGTE Ignitor Operation & Alternative Ignition Coils

    In a configuration controlled by the stock ecu, is a DH61 igniter a viable option? And if so, is there any benefit to it over the original igniter? I was never clear on this.

    Code 14 Fix - 1990 Supra

    Yup- Happened to a number of us on here, including myself. In my case, the harness would heat up on the egr valve to the point where the short in the wiring would blow the efi fuse. After about 10 minutes, it would be cool enough so that the short would disappear, and it would stop blowing the...

    1986.5 7mge -> 2jzge my very first build.

    Sorry to hear about all the A-holes messing with your $$ lately. I just spent $1200 to replace my blown LG tv, and $2900 on a new HVAC system. So money's been flying outta my pocket, too. And not much of it to the Supra, either.

    Head bolt torques? legends/ facts/ history?

    Same bolts for 7mge and 7mgte. No metallurgical or dimensional differences between either engine's block or head as well.

    Well, here's an update. I ordered mine from Toyotapartsonline. They later emailed me, saying that they couldn't find one, so i have cancelled my plan to swap out the gear. after talking to Toyotanos though, he says that he doesn't feel that its a necessary mod anyway, unless you have big cams...

    Well, I haven't been driving mine, but I have been trying to tune it. Yesterday, I was busy messing with the idle, and I see that I'm suddenly leaking oil out of the front timing cover 'weep hole'. So I pulled the rad(which needed to be tig'ed anyway), the covers and everything else. But I...

    Project 88 MKIII - A Calgary build

    Those are nice, solid numbers. Anything above that becomes a traction issue, and more work/ less fun to drive.

    I know you guys think I gave up or something, but i didn't. I've just been too busy to work on my car. Only thing I have to report lately, is that I replaced my crap Chinese $15 Ebay fpr with a fuel labs unit. It fix my rail pressure bleed-off somewhat, so I'm happy I spent the money...
