Enough already! I cleaned a LOT of off-topic and nasty posts out of this thread. The point here is there will be another spec'ed piston on the market...it does not matter who makes it. If you don't want to buy it, then don't! And read the 1st post people...these are what "they would look...

How in the heck do you rationalize this dude?

Nah...i'll go down to Melborne, get Ian on board with a pass, keep him company while we fly half way around the planet...then take turns kicking John in the nads ;)

Way too big for a stock turbo. Look at this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44148

Center to center for Eagle 7M rods is 5.98...so, these should be ok there. The real problem is the bore...85.5mm is +.100 oversize...don't think you'll be able to make that happen without a huge amount of work. (if you can at all) ;)

Doesn't surprise me...seems to be a hit-n-miss on MHG's. :dunno:

This entire situation sucks big time...after thinking about it for a bit, this (if anything) deserves ANY help we can give toward the "Help John fight Sumter County Fund". Anything to help John keep as much of his build as possible would help. Considering all the hard work he has put into it...

The EGR valve will work...the NA Vac Modulator and VSV are different. You will also need the EGR cooler at the back of the head if yours has been removed.

Re-read post #9 ;) If ANY rivet touches the block deck surface, it needs to be removed. Just lay the MHG on with the index pins in place.

Bottle - are these going to be made by you guys in house? Or, is these pistons going to be a vendor supplied product? (they look a lot like CP pistons)

John - Are there any other options $$$ wise that would fund a lawyer? Say a loan? I hate to see you flush your time/effort on the Supra...but, I also understand you have to do what's necessary to stay out of this situation.

Find an Amsoil Dealer Signature Series (SSO) 0W-30 or Amsoil (ASL) 5W-30 synthetic

Drill it out. A new MHG has the coating from the factory.

;)

Nukes too! ;)

I have an early '89 and it has PPS ;)

Another vote for the Falken's here ;)

Not a number "we just came up with" ;) Reg Riemer had the stock head bolts tested a number of years ago....72 ft/lbs are within torque limits for the OEM bolts.

Mobil 1 contains friction modifiers meant for an LSD: I talk about using gear oils that include friction modifiers (RP in this case) in Supra tranny's in this thread. Cliff notes...you don't want to use any gear oil in an R-154 or W-58 that has friction modifiers in the formula...

Yep! Check all of your valve shim clearances...lot easier to do it now (with it off the motor), especially if you need new shims ;)
