It drove me nuts for a while Brent ;)

Whoa! That's a healthy offer!

In your case with less than 200 miles on the motor, I'd say the rings are not seated in yet. Did your builder use Total Seal rings? Have you checked the timing by chance?

:bigthumb: Trust me, it would get the best of care.

Correct.

The EGR valve itself is the same...you will need the modulator and VSV off a GTE.

Do the compression and block tests 1st...you'll need the ammo to take it back.

A BHG could cause it to miss like that. The NAPA Block tester checks for exhaust gas in the radiator. A compression test is a good idea anyway. A removed EGR will increase cylinder temps...it will not run cooler. He's wrong.

Was the block decked? And what RA finish on the block/head decks? Did you do a re-torque on the head bolts (or studs)? Might be time to head down to NAPA for a block tester ;)

Titan Motorsports makes the carbon fiber DS ;) One good thing about a carbon fiber shaft is if it does break all you have under the car is a broom. Steel is going to be more harsh and is more torsional. Very little "give" with a aluminum shaft...steel will absorb some of the shock from a...

Yep, if the oil pump shaft bearings look like the rest of the block, you will have to replace them. Plus, line bore, cylinder bore, and HG deck machined. You'll have to pay attention to where the front plate attaches to the block to ensure a good seal. The key is cracks like IJ said. I...

These guys do a great job on DS replacements...easy to work with, good pricing: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62442 Aluminum, steel, or an aluminum aft section replacement that gets rid of the stock rubber damper/two tube shaft. Here's the review on the one piece...

There's two VSVs attached to the flange connecting the lower/upper intake manifolds...the aft VSV is the EGR...the forward VSV is for the hot start idle up. Here's how to test it: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=116 Check the vac lines 1st before you...

JJ - Gotcha...the pressure differential is primarly between E and exhaust until R is uncovered. Makes sense...it's only when exhaust pressure is low the EGR shuts off when E only is active. I don't dig into the NA stuff that often...good to know ;) Godspeed - I agree, probably OT in this...

I'd love to have that car for a DD ;)

JJ - the diagram (TSRM EC-12) shows the EGR valve closed when pressure chamber pressure is low. You're saying the valve is actually modulated depending on the pressure differential when the TB is between the ports? Grim - :bowdown: JJ is way better than me on most aspects of this car...

The EGR on the GE motor is temp, rpm and vac pressure delta dependent (hence the 2 TB ports). Above 5200 RPM the EGR is inop. Below 4800 RPM and above idle it is inop when the pressure delta is low between ports. This scheme is to improve engine response under certain conditions.

^^^ That's good stuff too...basically the same formulation as GC for the European/International market.

German Castrol is one of the best formulated oils out there. JJ is probably one of the 1st guys on SM to use it...got me looking at it a few years ago. After wading through all the BS you see about oil, I completely understood why he's used it all these years. It's excellent.

70-75 ft/lbs...start off at 65 (assuming stock torque was used on install), then go the final value. Make sure you use the TSRM torque pattern.
