Ok, just about ready to put my head back on and I wanted to figure things out BEFORE I couldn't see them anymore (it's all on the intake side). Unfortunately I took it apart with a friend, and he's on vacation now while I'm putting it back together :(. Here's number 1.... The hardpipe. It...

During my top end tear down I just noticed something sort of odd. I know that the intake gets some gunk in it from recircs/valve cover breathers/etc., but I noticed something sort of interesting. In my intake manifold (past the throttle body) the gunk/oily residue is MUCH more prominent in the...

So after a year and a half of saving and collecting parts it's finally come to the point where I can work! For those of you who don't know, a year and a half ago I took my car off the road due to what was a possible BHG, but more than likely a cracked head. I figured it out VERY early (no...

So today I started prepping my car to head across town to do my head work. I've been told pretty much fifty fifty that I should tow it or it will be fine to drive over, so I made the decision to save my $60 or $70 and just drive the car. The car's been parked in my driveway for almost a year...

I'm about to embark on a full head swap on my car and I wanted to see if I'm forgetting anything. The plan is take off the head, bring old head and my nice new port'd and polished head to the machine shop, get them to do a valve & seat grind to matching things up nicely, swap over valvetrain...

Title pretty much says it all...I've got coolant seeping in to cylinder 3. Question is basically what do I do in the meantime? I know I should do an oil change (obviously) to get rid of the contaminated oil, but what about the stuff in the cylinder? What can I do about that? I can't replace...

I've taken a look around and seen the thread on "what to replace when doing a head gasket" job...just wondering if there's anything to add to that when replacing the entire head :icon_razz It looks like I'm gonna be needing a new one as mine's probably cracked :3d_frown: Also, I can pick...

Okay, here's the situation. I know I've got some sort of leaking in the head. It's signs of the beginning of a BHG, but everything has been done properly. HKS 1.5mm metal head gasket, torqued down properly with ARP hardware. You do the magical blue test tube radiator test and the magical...

Ok, this might end up being a lengthy post, so bear with me here. I bought my Supra late last August. I have receipts for everything done to the car, some of which include parts and labour for an engine rebuild @ 275,000km (171875miles). During the rebuild, the head gasket was replaced with...

I've been scouring youtube and forums to try and find some to compare it to my engine. I haven't found a really good quality clip yet though. Would be nice to hear the idle and rev's up to ~3000rpm if someone's gonna actually go out and make one. I've got some ticks even after doing shims in...

I've been looking around the board and a couple other places on the web, and I've seen soooooooo many different answers to resolving fuel cut. Basically, I just want to try and get a straight answer out of all this. Here's a couple routes I've seen... Option A: Upgrade the fuel pump...

I guess this is the part where I say, "Hi, this is me, I'm here, acknowledge me." :P Just stumbled across the forums while looking for some tech tips, and thought I'd sign up. Found lots of valuable resources so far, and am very interested in the forums :). Hope to frequent here if I have the...
