    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    Ohh snap! Grim I think you nailed it. ...last cylinder has 6 marks on it...Ding! we have a winner. Of course that doesnt solve your issue but it rules that out. One other diagnostic question that wasnt asked, When did you first notice this sound, did it come on all of a sudden? did it come...

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    Ive never looked closely at a toyota balancer, but I dont believe you can visually inspect it. Someone else with a bit more experience should be able to answer that correctly. Here is what my question is though: If the marks on the rod caps are perpendicular to the direction of travel that...

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    Im not a real expert but I can answer at least a few of your questions. Here are my questions/concerns. The Balancer is intended to remove torsional vibration from the crankshaft. In real simple terms it is kinda like a shock absorber for your crankshaft. It is not like a wheel...

    The long Awaited SupraHero 1JayZ Build

    Jay, dont you have an air/fuel tuning device? or at least a monitor? With an AFPR you could tune the mixture to some extent. Or are you thinking that its way out of whack because of some fault or failure? Since Im not familiar with the 1J all I can really offer is that you just go back over...

    Lucy - Im home!

    Yeah I thought seriously about just capping the tire well, but I was already using mid grade components elsewhere so I decided to make sure the Sub was tight. It pounds...HARD! Its already too loud before it ever thinks about distorting. the only thing Im lacking is some good mid bass drivers...

    Holy crap! Taillight covers!

    Kevin had to drop off a hood for me today so I got a chance to see one of these up close and personal like. (btw there was only one in white gelcoat that I saw). Its a slick looking peice. Yes you will have to do some finish work on it. But its a nice solid piece and I think it looks awesome on...

    The long Awaited SupraHero 1JayZ Build

    Wow, you have made some real nice progress. It obviously needs tuning and an exhaust, but you got it started that means you must have done at least a few things right...lol I suspect you and I will be pretty close in HP. Might be fun to run em and see :naughty: . The 3E5's would never...

    My roommates just f'd me hard.

    Just saw this. Jeff thats a great plan and all, but how many students at a major university can do what you said? Im guessing not very many. Tim, it really sucks. I was basically begging you last month to move in with me. You and I get along pretty good and as far as I can tell, speak the...

    Holy crap! Taillight covers!

    Its funny, I thought I recognized the ass end of that supra right off the bat and Ive only ever seen it once. Kevin, bro, those look awesome! :love: I totally MUST have one. When are you bringing me that hood? :naughty: I think I see a free cowl lift in your future.
