    Please God help...(Pilot Bearing Will NOT Come out)

    Yes, my son :D Video it and the aftermath (especially when the EMT's show up)...put it up on youtube ;)

    hg questions

    Nope...if you're not going to machine the block/head decks, go with the OEM HG. Make sure the head deck is flat!

    Yes, checking both sides will just make double sure, but is not neceaasry. And yes ;)

    Radiator Hose

    The radiator cap will prevent an over pressure...that's it's fail safe function. During normal ops the rad cap allows coolant to escape to the reservoir due to coolant expansion when it gets hot.

    Compare the OD of the helicoil hole to the OD of the guide.

    Radiator Hose

    Ummm...pretty sure the level in the reservoir increases when the engine is hot, and drops when the engine cools down. Everytime the car is run to warm-up...it's normal ;)

    explain the pcv system to me

    You're not listening...so do it however you want. For the last time, the PCV is not going to work the way you have it set up. It's not going to work on the "big dawg" FFIM's that way either. I'm done here.

    any upgraded or mapped ECU's for an 89 turbo automatic

    It's funny because I have the AEM model 30-1130 ('89-92 Supra) EMS sitting right here with the documentation + CD and a SupraStick tranny computer. I've researched this thoroughly since I have a built A340E in my car...the AEM EMS can (and has) been used with the 340E with success. Good...

    Plastigage and Rod play...

    A feeler gauge goes down to .001"...plenty accurate enough and easier to do. Just use .012" and try to fit in the gaps with the rod full forward or aft...it should not fit. Do the same thing with .006"...it should fit in the gaps. This way you've checked the min/max range.

    explain the pcv system to me

    It does look like the Cressida TB has the PCV port before the plate...that's why it works when you hook it up to the ISCV per what I said earlier. It's also why you don't get vac at idle. I'm not sure how big the orifice is on the Cressida TB (or if there is even one there), but you can see it...

    explain the pcv system to me

    I would look at the turbo seals as the source of the black smoke...could be an initial rich condition too. Rings would give you more than a puff normally. The TB plate should seal the plenum...if you block off the ISCV intake hose and PCV TB fitting, the motor should die. Routing the ISCV...

    Plastigage and Rod play...

    Thrust clearance on the rods is .0063" - .0117"...max .0118" 1mm would be HUGE.

    explain the pcv system to me

    I didn't say any of the stock TB's (Cressida or Supra) have a check valve. The GTE TB has an orifice to prevent boost from pressurizing the crankcase...the GE TB uses orifices as well, but the routing is different in the TB itself...

    any upgraded or mapped ECU's for an 89 turbo automatic

    What do you mean you can't get an AEM EMS for an auto? Funny, because a lot of guys are using one with an A340E ;) There is no reliable way I know of to reprogram the stock ECU. You either go the piggyback route or a standalone (AEM, Motec, Stinger, etc.).
