need a machine shop local that wont charge me an arm and a leg to get head/block resurfaced.

yea its only for a resurface, and he said they get it to about 19 RA which doesnt seem too good to me. im gonna keep shopping around even if i have to drive up to 2 hours to find a good shop, im not skimping out on this engine. thanks for the advice guys!!!

yea i knew it sounded high, im gonna keep shopping around but i wanna make sure im not gonna bring it to a shop thats gonna do a shitty job on it. oh and the $250 for the block is with me stripping it down...

how much did you guys spend on getting your head block resurfaced? is this something that can be done w/o stripping the block? i got quoted $250 for the block and $180 for the head. seems kinda high for me.

thanks for the advise on the sensors, last night we got it out and i just wanted to get the head off. ill be gone the next few days but ill take care of it when i get back. i have about 4 years exp. machining so im gonna use a straightedge and a feeler gauge on the head and block, measure it...

damn that sucks, good luck on finding the replacement motor for it!

have no idea, had what looks like junkyard markings on the timing cover, but the odo on the car said 140k and the previous owner didnt say anything about a rebuild. im just hoping i might be able to get away w/ a MHG without surfacing the block and head.

got the engine out today, and the head off along with basically everything else. tranny is still attached but not bad for 4 hours worth of work. some pictures for everyone. you can see the cracks around the wastegate flapper, i counted about 4 of em. cams look pretty good from here...

how bout a paint code from that truck? im planning on painting my car a dark gunmetal color as well.

i took it off cuz a thread on here told me to, " 7m removal in 49 easy steps" right now i got about 15 steps left to go but it mostly just the ground wires, and my messed up hands arent helping. i'd say just give the body work a try, worst case the body shop will just have to fix it again which...

nice, looks like you got a lot of work done. looks like i wasted 45mins taking the ac compressor off... :(. that rust doesnt look TOO bad, lil bit of grinding will let you know if it needs to be sectioned. this isnt as hard as it sounds espcially for such a small spot., time for some simple...

aw i wanted those too cuz now i cant find any, wat was the condition of the grey cloths u had in there? wern't they in near mint condition? i was following your build thread and they look pretty nice, if u plan on gettin rid of em any chance you'd part out w/ just the seat cloth and plastic trim...

re-read the last few posts again.

got a new CD player for the car. had this same on in my srt but it was stolen when i was @ school. alpine cda-9815 this is just a pic i found on google.

nice, looks like a solid start. does it run?

worked on the engine removal for a bit today, got the exhaust, a/c compressor, and a few other things off till i went to take off the ground near the engine mount and took a nice chunk of skin off my finger... so im done for the day, hopefully on monday i can finish gettin the motor out, and...

glad im not the only one that thinks that color is hideous. lol

Hey everyone! well this will be the first time im doing any wrench work on a Supra and looking through these other build-ups/rebuilds it seems i have my work cut out for me. Recently i purchased an 89 NA 5 speed targa shell for $100. It had no motor, transmission, front seats, minor rust in the...

welcome, beautiful cars ya got there. yea those turbo neons can be a bitch sometimes :evil2:

damn how do you guys get away with having these loud ass exhausts?
