The rods are to be inspected and rebuilt automatically.

It isn't actually hard, but you should not attempt it on your own. If you just replace all the parts, it will whine like a siren if you fail to set pinion depth and backlash to specs.

You have to be shitting me. You belong on SF. Does mommy still dress you in the morning?

Yep, take 70 to St Louis, pick up I-44 there. Take that all the way to OKC. Then go west on 40. Hoover damn road traffic was backed up, so we took the truck route at the next exit. No snow. :)

You mean besides open the drain cock, let it run out into a container, then refill?

I know you have homer in the avatar. Think about what you are saying here. The topic of VVTi is about the valve train, not rods in a particular motor. And I am thinking that there are as many bozos for this engine as there are 7M's.

That is because the 7M has such a headgasket problem.

If your engine timing is off, it would idle horrible, and be hard to start. If you open the throttle and the AFM doesn't increase the signal to the ECU, you will go way lean, and yes, possibly stall. This could be your problem.

:slap: +1 By the way, not familiar with a Supra doesn't mean much. The machinist is following book specs on everything. If they aren't, don't give them your business.

11.9 in the front, and 11.5 in the rear. Largest I know of for the time frame and cost of the car. Tiny my ass...

That isn't saying anything at all. That is about as logical as the editors of Hot Rod magazine that called the introduction of sequential electronic fuel injection on the 5 litre Mustang, the end of performance. Just because the benifits of its superior design has not sunk in yet, does not...

I want to know how he did it, not what you would do. Just want to see where his puff of smoke came from.

Well, you should put a small amount in the oil intake, as per Toyota specs. Just to splash it. What you did is just fine, and you should do that after oil changes. How did you halt the injection process?

I am wondering about the screw myself. How did it get past the turbo? You have friends that aren't really friends?

The benifit is shorter intercooler routing.

I don't know what "L" stands for besides a letter of the alphabet.

Toyota never called the Supra MK anything. Media and the internets did. It was born in Jan of 86, according to the old site.

Oh, I don't think so.
