No it can't...but from your description, it sure as heck looks like valve timing to me. Plus, I keep asking questions and get vague (or no) answer. It sure seems you're hell bent to wander down the path you think regardless of what anyone says. There's no point in any further input :3d_frown:

^^^ QFT ;)

Unfortunately, if the head is annealed (soft), that makes it useless :(

And treacherous ;)

I'd have the 1st head hardness tested to make sure it's not annealed...also make sure its not warped (max is .10mm or .0039"). If good, use it. The small damage in the compustion chamber area you showed can be smoothed out easily. The scratches you showed "look" like they will come out when...

Yeah...I can believe that. I'm reading conflicting info on the Toyota ATF myself. I use Castrol ATF in the tranny...I tried Amsoil syn and got some clutch slippage. Had some of the Amsoil left over and use it in the power steering...works fine so far (10K miles).

http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=71 "Upgrading" a fuse is not a very good idea...that is unless you WANT to burn up the wiring. Which is what you already may have done ;)

This is confusing...what are you calling the "adjuster" on the CPS? The rotating piece in the CPS is called the "reluctor"...you haven't tried to rotate it have you? Is there any play in the timing belt? If so, how much can you move the belt along the sides (left/right)? Look at this...

When you say "looks moved way more than i can turn it by the little adjuster" is that with both cam gears pointing at the index and the crank pointing at zero? This is critical...the CPS should look like the pic ONLY under the above conditions. And, did the car run normally with this ECU in...

When you line up the CPS, does it look like the pic I posted (post #4) with the cam gears and crank aligned (like I said) in the other thread? Is the bolt that holds the CPS to the head tightened down snug when you align it? This just sets the initial valve timing...you DO need a timing...

The only thing John told me was clutch packs and friction. Did work on the accumulators too.

Could have been wear too...none of these trannys were "built". I've been pushing more HP than that and have not had any problem with the IPT tranny I'm running.

There are several syn ATF Dexron III out there ;) I'm pretty sure the latest version Toyota ATF is a syn and can be used.

Did I steal that from you? ;)

Not with a stock set-up (i.e. AFM and ECU)...with speed density (stand alone or MAFT Pro), yes.

+1 ;)

This might help, but it's not for a UK car: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/TechTips/vacuum_hose.aspx

- What brand/part # plugs? (be specific) - What were they gapped at?

That blue valve is the BVSV...it opens at temp to allow the TB to pull fuel vapor from the charcoal canister. The way it's hooked up now, it puts vac on the canister at all times...not a huge deal, but I would get a new BVSV at some point. That line on the bottom of the intake pipe goes to a...

No, but the ECU retards timing significantly ;)
