    5 angle valve job

    I tried multiangle vale jobs on my 7M when I had it, failed pretty quickly due to the fuel I was using (LPG) but I imagine Unleaded isn't going to be far behind. Went back to a 3 angle job with fairly wide seats and valve recession was a thing of the past. (was a HUGE PITA as I was running...

    Spec Clutch vs R154 Bellhousing

    Something drastically wrong there, I wouldn't run it until you correct whatever the issue is.

    Need some advice on engine rebuild

    A leakdown test will give you an idea of what's damaged in the engine, #5 being ok rings the alarm bells as if it were a ring issue why isn't it dead as well?

    question about fuel pump

    More fuel is always better with Turbo engines, my rough rule of thumb is I double what I think I'll need in the pump department. Nothing kills a Turbo engine faster than a lean out under power.

    Early Production Turbo A?

    Guess it would have depended on demand at the time, can't see any manufacturer stopping at 500 if they have orders for more but as I stated that wasn't the case with many of the other brands they struggled to make/sell 500 ;) Having said that I don't get the whole Turbo A fascination unless...

    Early Production Turbo A?

    Bit hard to know for sure as my understanding is the VIN's aren't consecutive, I'm just going on what everyone else did at that time, the "rule" was a minimum of 500 but no maximum, again this was all a bit flexible and there were quite a few of the local cars here that didn't quite get the full...

    Early Production Turbo A?

    take 2 How do you know "for sure" that there were only 500 made? Most of the homologation specials were built to order and if the demand was there most companies would just keep turning them out from the cars on the regular line, I'm not saying Toyota did this just that most of the...
