Need some more info...what does the manual recommend for the tranny? And, what brand/weight oil is in it now? I really don't like mixing oils to be honest...never when they are two different types.

The lowest PP goes is 5W-30 in the 30W multigrades. The viscosity for PP 5W-30 and PP 10W-30 at ops temp are identical (10.2 cst)...the difference is the 5W-30's viscosity is lower "cold". PP 5W-30 is also a bit thinner than the above Mobil 1, both cold and at ops temp...that will make it more...

Here's the API symbol from the "Motor Oil Basics" sticky. Any oil with this symbol will help improve fuel economy (BTW - GC is not one of them), but in order to get it, a company has to pay API to perform the tests. What the scum sucking marketing dept for Exxon Mobil is doing is using the...

The block adapter in post #10? If so, it would be a better choice restriction wise. I would sandwich it between the condensor and IC if you can...you will need to remove the condensor fan. You don't want metal to metal contact between the condensor and oil cooler...use plastic isolators.

LOL! :runaway:

Yes, the master cylinder could also be the cause.

^^^ Not necessarily true. Fuel cut-out is based on the volume of air measured by the AFM...it will be much lower on a stock vs a Lexus AFM. It also depends on air density...altitude and OAT affect it. I have a Lex AFM and do not hit fuel cut until 16-18 psi depending on what OAT is.

Good...if they do need to be resized, you can get the clearances you want that way. Assuming the rod journals are in good shape on the crank.

Yeah...as you guys know, machine work adds up fast! What kind of rods and was any machine work done on them?

LOL...ummmm....NOT!

The 7M is a better crank IMO since it is fully counter weighted, it is heavier (hence the reduction in redline RPM), but is a smoother running crank. You can lighten it up quite a bit...the one I'm having work done on is getting abut 6-7 lbs taken off and knife edged. It's getting the usual...

Jayson - You should not need another crank, unless the one Bill has is damaged. Have the main/rod journals checked for surface finish and size and make sure it's straight/balanced.

Looks good! What kind of cooler is that and what are it's dimensions? You shoe horned that baby right in the stock location ;) The only real critique (a minor one) is using a hard 90 deg AN/NPT fitting on the block adapter...they are more restrictive than the 90 deg sweep hose ends. You...

With 9.45mm of lift, either should work.

Considering he's in Reno at ~4500' MSL, 18 in/hg is pretty good ;)

Hmmm...could have been the connector to the AFM, but who knows :dunno: Just don't get the idea to clean the AFM sensor with carb or brake cleaner. That is a sure fire way to kill it ;) I would still pull codes and check the timing.

I know ;) You nailed it...time to regroup and get this motor built!

Just look at the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia...that's how they will enforce it. I wasn't directing that at you per say, but at the general attitude. Don't give the government the excuse to enforce. Now...back to our originally scheduled programming.

Brian - these guys have been taking a lot of flack for what turned out to be a situation where they are going to essentially start from square one. I deleted a lot of the BS that was flying around this thread. Bill and Jayson are both frustrated...and rightfully so. Any help you can offer I'm...
