    cam sensor seal replacement

    That's where i bought mine too. Hey Enraged- did you get 2 O-rings in your pack? I got one for the outer 'collar' of the cps, and one slightly larger one. Dunno what it's for.

    driver side upper control arm bolt bent

    Or honestly, a junk yard or post a wanted thread here. People will have one for you, vs. $20 for the new dealership cost.

    1986.5 7mge -> 2jzge my very first build.

    Hmm, those two items don't seem to be for a stock non-turbo setup... Have plans changed yet again? :)

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    Damnit. Didn't know that. Oh well, problem solved now. I brought my parts to a local place . I paid $150 for a pile of stuff to be done. That's a steep price, but considering that they had to prep all the pieces, and then string them all to wire, it wasn't too bad. Plus, their min. order was...

    couple things to clear up...

    The head that I was going to run had serious erosion around the water jackets, and I decided to toss it. Like CyFi6 said, make sure the erosion doesn't reach as far as the water jacket seal. The only thing clutch-wise I might suggest is to consider replacing your throwout bearing's conical...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    You may be right about the restriction, but initially I won't be going for massive power, just 350-400. If I find that I wanna go higher later, I may have to reconsider the use of the FPD perhaps. But since I'll already be AN6 right to it, it'll just be a matter of swapping out to a different...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    LOL. You're the one that referred me there a couple years ago. But no, I didn't get it from them. I realize that the pic of that bolt makes it look like it has a conical washer, but it's actually just a flat washer at the base of a standard, stainless socket head bolt.

    driver side upper control arm bolt bent

    Ah yes- absolutely right. I forgot about that detail, and it makes all the difference in the world, because once that washer hits the inner wheel well, it puts a side load on the bolt and wedges it.

    Bringing a supra back to life.

    I say just put some jumper cables on, turn the key and scream "Check it, BITCHES!" but that's just me. Your mileage may vary.

    Yeah, I usually have to tap it out with a hammer.

    Standard timing belt, or high performance belt?

    Holy carbon-dated crap, Batman! Now I understand why you're so ornery. So if the cording thing is hype....you're saying that I have a Gates HYPER BELT. AWESOME! sooo worth the extra money now...

    Standard timing belt, or high performance belt?

    I will send you my sticker for $50. (that's approximately the price difference between racing and standard). ... But for that price I also include a can of blue spraypaint.

    driver side upper control arm bolt bent

    Never heard of it happening, but is it possible for you to get a grinder up there with a cutting wheel? Can't imagine it bending without causing a deformity to the upper arm's geometry as well.

    cam sensor seal replacement

    Are you talking about the internal seal, because that tends to be the major culprit. If it's oily inside the cover, then that's the one you need to address. Just did my rebuild. See my build thread for all the pics of it, starting at post #269...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    Was out of town for a few days, but got a couple of little things in the mail today, including the new bearing for my idler pulley. Pressed that in and now it rolls smoothly. Also got these- BIC poly engine mounts: Picked them up used on Ebay for cheap, from a guy parting out a Supra. Edit-...

    My 86' PA Supra

    PS- I like the seats. I was planning on the same exact color combo for my burgundy interior.

    Standard timing belt, or high performance belt?

    Older than everyone on here except perhaps IJ and JJ Let's just say I have seen a live feed from the moon, and leave it at that, kids. PS- Gates claims that their racing belts are up to 300% stronger than oem. Stronger how? I dunno. I guess in terms of stretch or actual failure point.
