mystery solved! :) good sleuthing, sir. -shaeffy

ohh, i know there IS a cork gasket for the oil pan, i just was under the impression that it was not stock. i doubt toyota offers one for the supra, which leads me to believe that there never was one. anyone have an EPC to check that? if i remember correctly, Siman used a cork gasket and it...

they came stock with a cork gasket? neither of the three 7m's motor i've taken apart, (including my 30k mile JDM motor) had cork gaskets. it was all FIPG. -shaeff

oh yeah, i'm on the w58 as well, and i'm turbo'd. soon to have about 320rwhp. -shaeff

i'm a big fan of gray RTV. i used it on my valve covers with upgraded bolts and it works great. i also use a very thin coat of it on the T-stat housing, tail lights (both sides of the crappy foam gasket) etc... the oil pan doesnt have a gasket, its supposed to be FIPG. -shaeff

new HG's come with a coat already on them... and i suppose if the machine work was lackluster, it would help.

oops! yeah, i meant to reiterate what you had previously stated, but i forgot to mention that crappy little elbow. you sir, are correct, as usual:) thats the smallest piece of poo i've ever seen! its a funky shape too, like ovaled or something... -shaeff

there's no need for copper spray on a new HG. :( -shaeff

i have an rx7 jack. its way lighter than the stocker. i dont really have much use for it anymore. im putting my TT rims on this summer, and dont plan on carrying a spare unless i go on a trip. but yes, the rx jack is lighter. it looks cooler too :p -shaeff

personally, (since i'm anal when i work on my car) i wouldnt trust it. -shaeff

the large end of the 3k pipe is about equal in diameter to the TB. nah, i'd think its the 3k pipe and fender pipe. that fender pipe is funky lookin'. try thinking in these terms instead: you want to fill a beer bottle really fast, with beer of course. now, we all know how small a...

i like the wheels. i bet a set of mkII wheels would look good on there, too. jeff, you have two beautiful cars. aaaaaannnd the thread has lost direction. :) -shaeff

7MGTEJoe - gooood call, my friend! i stand corrected. :) -shaeff

i smell another dylan's how to sticky!!! do it man. you got this! that drawing is now my desktop. too funny! LMAO! especially the OMGWTFBBQ!!! i'm still laughing!! sorry to hear about the car dude, but you've got this all under control! -shaeff

yes it goes from small to big, but think before the 3k pipe. it's big, then bottlenecks to small. thats a restriction. the turbo is trying to push air into a small opening from a big one. when i get hardpipes made, ima get rid of that 3k pipe. -shaeff

i'm pretty sure that you could stick with the -6an for 400ish HP. thats my HP goal, and i've got the -6. -shaeff

the stock wires aren't very good. MANY supras need the KS rewire. its just what happens to 20 year old wires after being hot and cold cycled over and over again. the stockers cant be THAT bad if they've lasted this long. -shaeff

sorry to say, yes, your master cylander has pooped itself:( generally, leaking fluid is replaced by air, and when you press the clutch pedal, the air compresses, and makes a spongy pedal, and a clutch that doesnt want to disengage. if your clutch is stuck (somehow, for some reason) in a half...

if you run without a thermostat, your car will run cooler. period. ask me how i know ;) and if you run with no T-stat in the winter in new york... you have no heat... aske me how i know. if you put the t-stat back in, in the winter in new york, you get heat. ask me how i know:) put it...
