Sorry to bring up an old post. I am contemplating Probe's. Can you explain this to me?

Thanks for the information scooter. The seller said he had marked everything in regards to the balance. However, when I asked about the marks on the sides of the pistons and if he could feel them his answer was: "...the scoring on the pistons is from initial start up." Thoughts and opinions on this?

Thanks for the reply! He said the car wasn't practical seating wise for his family so he pulled it apart to sell to get the most money. But obviously I am seeing those marks, I am concerned. Hopefully it is just grease or something smeared. If my finger nail does catch the scratch, think it's...

Hi, I am looking to be buying some used piston. The genetleman selling them says they were brand new less than 100 miles ago. But I see marks/scuffing on them in the photo. Cause for concern? Is this piston slap? I havent had the chance to look at them in person. And won't until I goto check...

Anyone know of any good machine shops in CNY area?

Thanks for the information! Now for the bad news.... Well, got the block down and pulled rods and pistons. Bearings have pretty much spun. Visible and feel-able with finger nail damage to bearings, rods and crank. Number 6 cylinder has damage too. Worth dickerdoodiling around with fixing or...

Howdy there, I have some questions in relation to an engine I want to rebuild sitting in my basement. I believe it is an 89 7mgte that is stock. It came out of a car that was running. I was told about 130-150K on it. The crank and rods appear to be forged, I have heard from a member here on...

Thanks! Yeah they do!

The MK2 is my brother's car. Won't let me upload the pictures of my long term project car, but it's an MK3 as well, the engine is pulled out, same with the tranny and they are both going into my red car temporarily.

Howdy everyone, again I know the turbo get's hot normally, but like I said it was hotter than normal. The problem has since gone away after using the clean and flush and the boost has increased again. Clogged or partially clogged water line to the turbo maybe? Today is the hottest day it has...

Side panel on the side where the turbo is, the whole wheel well panel there. Oh yeah they do get pretty hot, but I mean for some reason it's not cooling down. Like a few weeks ago, even after beating on the car it would cool down much past the point it is now, at about 8psi. Don't get me wrong...

Hi all, I am having an issue with my turbo. It is getting hot and not cooling down. I'll let it sit for 1-2 minutes before shutting it down and it seems to just build heat even more. IE my side panels nearly burn you when touching them on the outside of the car and the shiny part of the turbo...

Howdy! I'm in the process of pulling my 89 7mgte and R154 out of my 86 MK3 I just bought. I'm planning on dropping the engine and tranny into my other 87 MK3 which is an auto. The engine in this is rough. It is leaking oil in a few places, but it's gonna have to do until I can get the other...

Hi there, I'm from Oswego NY. I have 2 MK3s. One is a daily driver the other is a long term project. I love Supras along with Subarus. I look forward to learning stuff. :naughty:
