Good advice about the grounds^^^Don't agree with "just start swaping out parts". More money to maybe fix it, more aggrevation when the money you spend doesn't fix it. Better to buy a cheap multimeter and start checking things out at least to narrow things down a bit. The TSRM gives you the...
But what about the alternator? Did you have it checked? Others on here have bought new one and they were still bad. Another thing to check is the belt tension, especially if the battery and alternator check out. I thought my battery was bad untill I had it checked and it ended up being the belt...
Man you really want to spoil her:biglaugh: I went the battery operated Harley when our first one was 3, then the battery operated "Barbie" car at 4, then the two seater battery Soltice, because now there are 2. The way the first took to the Harley I don't think I want to get them anything gas...
I don't rev that high, so far 7500, glad you chimed in on this one IJ as I knew you ran larger clearences with the mods to the oil system and heavier oil.
That's exactly what I found with tighter clearences.
Well I am man enough to do it as I have and still disagree with you. If you run too tight a clearence what happens to that little bit of oil you have running on the bearings when you really have the motor spinning at high RPM? Especially the heavy weight you run. You're getting pressure but not...
How it felt??? Are you checking everything with micrometers and such?If you are using new rings, bearings, etc. should still be checked for proper clearences. At least plasticgauge.
Why is that? If you run a little larger clearence then you would have more oil to those areas. In modified motors you would want more oil in the critical areas, rod bearings in the Supra's case. Of course you have to make sure you still have the volume and the pressure. And run a heavier oil.
You can run larger clearences, I have, on the bearings. Which means to me that you have more oil in those areas as long as you mod the oil pump and anything else you can do to keep oil to the bearings. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
