    8 psi w/ bc on stock hg stock headbolts ok?

    I can name a quite a few members here with boost just under fuel cut, ~11.5ish psi, on a stock HG. Torque the head down (forgot spec) and maintain coolant and you should be good.

    Please.....help...

    Your best bet at this point is to swap in a GE. I got everything but the longblock that ill give to you for free if you pick it up.

    Mikes 7MGE-T engine build

    Got them in! Its nice having every tool. Just when I think we dont have it, my dad pulls it right from it designated spot. Never used a cam bearing tool before but I had both in within 30 minutes. Clearences are good and the extra was just for bearing crush. After much thought i have decided...

    Mikes 7MGE-T engine build

    The block and all brackets have had 2 coats of POR15 and look great. I ordered the standard size Clevites and the shop said all they need to do is polish the crank all to the same size. The oil pump drive shaft bearings were pushed out, only took 2-3 hard hits to get them out. Oil clearance is...

    My rebuild :D

    Makes you wonder how 7M's were build before guidance from sites like this. Cork works but many don't torque them correctly. Somewhere on this site is a how-to deck the cover off the block.

    I have an A'pexi NEO....and I just stare at it.

    Fix your car ! Those extra thing in there are more than a bunch of blinking lights to impress your friends. Don't turn into one of those "The 7M sucks" people because you were being lazy and careless and your motor blew up.

    My rebuild :D

    The timing cover needs to be decked with the block. If not the hg will not seal and it will deform the head. From your pictures it doesn't look like it was. You said you used cork and silicone?

    My rebuild :D

    I would ditch the cork and go with Toyota fipg for the oil pan. Im also not so sure two different main bolts is safe. Did you use ARP rod bolts?

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    Only problem I have with getting coilovers is how little travel they have compared to stock. Tien ss.

    crank scraper?

    Yes. There stock rods so there spraying on the thrust side. Most of the Toyotas I have worked on have a windage tray type design. I don't see why Toyota didn't do somthing similar on 7M's. 5M pan http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a64/Droperer/OilPan.jpg

    Bearings

    Take it to a machine shop so they can measure journals and bores. They will be able to determine if it needs to be reground for undersized bearings. In my case they polished the crank to all the same size. Make sure they can measure 10thousands of an inch (.0001). If they look at you funny go to...
