The HKS stopper works without mods to the block. The only mod is to your wallet! :biglaugh:

He's right, but you could go with 1.3mm to get closer to stock compression. Did you take anything off the block?

Call them up and ask if they have a CBN resurfacer. If they look confused, call another. If they talk intelligently, or say they have PCD, or prefer carbide, keep talking! http://www.aa1car.com/library/2003/eb30320.htm

I'm hoping a new matching AVC-R is in the works with the smaller size.

.07 cows per field??? If he took .07 inches off then throw your head away. Sure he didn't mean .007 inches?

Viton is rated to 500degF as well. The issue with Silicone hose is that when exposed to aromatics it breaks down (Fuel, hot engine oil etc) and disintegrates into chunks. It works fine with coolant though, just keep the oil away. Teflon is also rated to 500degF and can be ordered with a nice...

You can clean the intake with carb cleaner and a toothbrush. Very messy and unpleasant.

Viton might be better for those hoses...

Good article Asterix. Its in agreement with my post above that silicone is not good when aromatics are involved such as fuel, engine oil, and so on.

from http://www.sourcerubber.com Silicone The term “silicone” covers a large group of materials in which vinyl-methyl-silicone is often the central ingredient. Silicone elastomers as a group have relatively low tensile strength and poor tear and wear resistance. However, they have many useful...

Or you can re-cal the stock gauge to read up to 14 psi.... the stock pressure sensor is a 5V 2bar unit. http://home.swipnet.se/pelleman/supra/boost_eng.html

Lapping plates are not cheap. http://www.americanlap.com/Lapping%20Plates.htm For a 6" round plate (a little small but this can be used with care to do a block) this place will get you one for under $100. http://www.statecollegecentral.com/metallathe/MLA19.html

Its not a variable resistor like most sensors, it is a pulse modulated sensor, very unique. Here is the TSRM note on checking its functionality. Look at the section "Inspect Sender Gauge Operation" http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/be/BE_043.html

I cannot imagine getting my hands in to remove the 7MGTE filter. Even with the head and exhaust removed I still couldn't get in there with the engine mount right beside it. Unless your time is worth nothing or you don't plan to keep the car more than one oil change, the right tool will provide...

Its the top for sure. I had mine out last night! :biglaugh:

Yeah, valve job is same thing to first order. Cam journals/bearings tend to wear, so make sure they are in spec. The valve lash is the same as valve clearance. If you have a valve job then they would set the clearances for you.

I wonder if a line amp off of the ECU temperature sensor could be used instead of the stock sensor.
