    Freeze plug?

    You're welcome. The good news is the rear is easier than the front. I would check that front one though ;) (Hope your car didn't over heat too badly)

    Freeze plug?

    Toyota OEM...from the dealer ;) Just to let you know...been there, done that. The problem is the space between the engine bay and the block. It can be done, but you are going to have fun getting the plug to line up and drive in straight.

    Freeze plug?

    That was going to be my 2nd guess...the front is more common. Dorman plugs are 4-5 thou under sized from Toyota OEM plugs...freeze plugs are a press fit. The front & read block mating surface is slightly recessed (front is worse), making it easy to mess up the install on these locations...

    Freeze plug?

    Let me guess...Dorman freeze plugs? Was it the most forward plug (above the oil pressure sensor)?

    MAFT Pro install help needed; but, only with the HAC...

    The HAC is inside the ECU on the 91 TCCS ;) (It would be rather difficult to connect it)

    The lower is very short.

    Best way to remove a broken key?

    That's probably because the cylinder is messed up. I can take my key out with the engine running, but it's not suppose to work that way.

    Speedo jumping

    ^^^ Yep...if the speedo cable is too close to the downpipe, it will melt the plastic cable liner. Mine actually froze in place when I shut down and it cooled off...then the cable twisted and snapped. Replacing a speedo cable is a PITA...the cluster has to come out. Hopefully, oiling will work.

    Oil Analysis - Post your VOA and UOA Here

    LOL...tis true ;) The one in the analysis is right at the min I would accept...I have to say (though I dislike Mobil 1 oil), 15K is damn impressive. If the GC doesn't meet expectations, I'd switch back.

    Oil Analysis - Post your VOA and UOA Here

    Get a TBN as well...that will tell you how much life is left in the oil to neutralize acids.

    vacuum?

    Not trying to be smart, but the physics doesn't add up. Science lesson follows: - Std atmospheric pressure at sea level is 29.92 in/hg...yes it varies, but for this we need apples = apples. - Vacuum is a reduction in pressure to the point where it equals zero. - A perfect vacuum results...

    deal or no deal

    Not a lot of info posted to make that call sport ;) It would help to have the Kelly Blue book value, condition, and any "extras" on the Integra. Same kind of thing for the Supra. Pics would be a plus.

    Oil Analysis - Post your VOA and UOA Here

    That's damn good for 15K miles...looks like that motor likes Mobil 1 ;) Illustrates a case in point...most people change their oil way too often. Does that engine run rich? I'd take steps to reduce the fuel dilution. Use a better air filter (AC Delco for stock air box) and change it per...

    Speedo jumping

    It usually is...disconnect from the tranny and oil it by holding it up to let the oil run it's length inside.

    chipped piston can still function correctly?

    For a MHG, that is way too rough a deck surface. I would replace the piston.

    chipped piston can still function correctly?

    You can see a bit of a bulge on top, but the impact area itself is kinda dark.

    chipped piston can still function correctly?

    Yeah, looks like some corrosion spots...I'd have it machined.

    Finding OEM rotating assemblies

    It should save you some $$$ by disassembling, but talk to the machine shop 1st. The question of the day is do you trust this shop? The 7M is very intolerant of any clearance deviations and there are a couple gotchas involved in block assembly...the main ones: 1) Before the cylinders are...
