    Newb Building a 7m

    Just torque the HG as per the ARP installation instructions. Get a thermostatic oil cooler setup. Shim oil pump while you have the chance, and replace the piston squirter bolts if the internal springs are weak at all.

    car overheats after 30 miles

    I've had a BHG where the cylinder pressure would leak into the cooling passages, but no mixing of oil and coolant, and no reverse of coolant into the combustion chambers.

    Crank Clearance problems...

    I think he means .001x inches clearance, vs. .002x inches clearance. Sometimes, you have to file your piston rings and adjust your piston to wall clearances a bit wider for higher HP goals too.

    TweeT's 89 7MGTE rebuild

    Good work. I've had trouble in the past, trying to get the ARP's out. It's like they swelled up and I couldn't lift the head off them, so i had to remove them with the head.

    catch can question

    Yes, Mine is similar, just round. However, the best design, is to have a wall, inside the can, separating the inlet side from the outlet side, so that all air is forced down to the bottom, and then up to the outlet through a wire mesh, to allow the fumes to cool. The mesh captures the...

    what lowerings springs are good?

    Eibachs here. Had Intrax, but they sat too low, and i scraped. Eibach's have a good ride and look good too- 1" drop rear, 1.5" drop front.

    Electrolysis nickel plated exhaust manifold

    Also, I don't see how the coating can go from the manifold into the engine, unless you're talking about it passing through the EGR system to get there. Otherwise, the only way any flakes would be going is towards your cat.

    Have you had any new codes since changing all of those items out? What is your fuel pressure showing? What mods do you have?

    oil pump question

    If you get one from Advanced Auto parts, it IS a factory unit. It's Aisin, and they grind the name toyota off the side.

    hard to turn crank

    What rpm are you checking the timing at? Have you jumpered the T and E1 ports as the TSRM says? Jumping might be from misfiring. You should have fresh plugs gapped at .8mm

    Synapse BOV surges when recirculated, ideas and advice please!

    Mine is the headgasket. ...oh- sorry...my standard answer. I would see if you can get an adapter that goes from the accordian hose's inlet size to the same diameter as the output for the BOV. Basically- an all-metal reducer that will fit the nipple off the intake, and allow you to run a...

    hard to turn crank

    You already said that you had fuel pressure- why do you now think that you don't? And you said that your alternator is making a strange noise?? When the engine is NOT running?? You said you don't have spark- focus on that issue. Check the cps- it's timing AND the condition of the 4-wire plug at...

    how to install tach

    Does that help? It's a small circuit board on the back of your factory tach, inside the instrument cluster. It's a relatively easy job, even for a novice.
