yeah, 150psi is around 8.5:1 id say carbon build up on the pistons, maybe not igniting the fuel properly?

there are no lies, i lived in the middle of the Bush for ages and no one there talks like that either... You know your Australian if you think beer only comes in full strength....

i did a rebuilt using the parts you mentioned, pistons came poorly shipped (im in aus to they were air shipped) still could have been packaged better. had minor damage on them nothing that mattered after my builder inspected it. my engine builder said the pistons were "old style" but...

my 88.10 came with a 7m crank motor.... i have a 6m crank block under my house and the 7m crank block is far superior to it...

if you've got any pitting on the head best to have it welded before its decked. the look should be mirror finish, run your finger nail accross it and if it gets caught on anything its way too rough.... this is what a properly surfaced deck should look like, this is the block and not the head. i...

my supra nearly took my eye out last year... had a large one of those clips spring off the plyers i was holding them with and shoot DIRECTLY into my eye, not around my eye but my eyeball its self. my eye lid closed as a natural reaction. i ended up in hospital with internal bleeding in the...

i have no idea about EGR because they didn't fit it to Australian Spec 7m's sounds like 2 things ive experianced, as mentioned before boost leak but i didnt loose boost just blew clouds of smoke and once i had the wire on a knock sensor ground, cant remember the code but any more than 1-2 psi...
