Are you sure the engine was at TDC, and not 180 degrees off? that might explain the weasing noise, you would be pushing back into the intake side.

"Oh, and while I was digging around at all this - it looks like there's a ring lug (like a ground/power lug) coming down towards the engine from the battery bay. It is connected to the starter motor battery cable - any ideas where that one goes?" If it is the large wire that connects to the...

The black and yellow wire is it on the passenger side? If so that is the ground I am reffering to going from the head- Have you checked to make sure you have the grounds on the intake side? These are important grounds, the are for the ecu and others- As far as the CPS, it can be good, if...

Motor Mounts http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/Toyota/Engine/Motor_Mounts You can also probably find aftermarket solid mounts- Or look thru the parts for sale section, cars being parted out and such. on the head- If it has not been prepaired for a Metal Head...

umm If you line up the marks on the camshaft gears with the timing marks on the top of the timing case as 1j stated. Then you need to place the crankshaft pulley at 0 TDC. Just placeing the pully at 0 does not v erify that you are at TDC. If you look at the TSRM there are directions to verify...

130 - 139 is low. When you performed the test, was the engine cold? did you have the throttle body at WOT ? after performing the test dry, did you add a little oil to each cyl and test again?

It would. the crank and cam gears must line up, if you install the cps in the wron position it will definatly display the symptoms that you discribe.

What brand of MHG did you use? I think just the Cometic had this problem. If you look in the TSRM, you are supposed to put some gasket sealer in the front by where the inner timming case meets the block. Doesn't sound like you did that. I had the problem with the inner timing case extending up...

Sounds like your CPS is installed slightly off- This is how I set mine- http://www.jblmk3.com/id92.htm

here is a picture of the intake side with the ground wires attaced to the lower intake manifold. The wires attach to a tab that protrudes on the manifold. you can see them just above and to the right of my finger. again what I would check and eliminate as possible problems are: Check the...

Here is a better pic of the thermostat housing There are several grounds on the car. The one from the coil pack over to the intake area. a group of them that are part of the main engine wireing harness. The group of wires runs down between intake runner 5/4 or mabe 5/6 dont remember exactly...

does this help?

The ground wire runs from the coil mounting plate( Ii is on the intake side twards the front) to a bolt that is on the intake side. Since you dont have this wire, as a text I would try grounding the coil plate to a know good ground. Since it would just be for a test it doesnt need to be pretty...

I used a 2 arm gear puller from sears. Puth the bold back in a couple of turns, put the gear puller on and pop, off it came. Steve

Check the wireing at the CPS- There is a ground wire that goes from the coil packs over to a bolt by the intake. Also check the ground wires that connect under the intake manifold in the back. Just where I would start, untill some of the experts jump in. Steve

Caps lock mistake- I have a 7M-gte. My car is a US standard turbo supra. I have a BIC 3" downpipe currently connected to stock cat and stock exhaust. I have found a 3" aftermarket JDM cat back from a "GA70/MA70 1G-GTEU" car. I was hoping that the cat back would bolt in to my car. What...

Thanks for the reply Brent- It will go onto a 88 USA &m-gte if that makes a differance? Steve

As the title says, I am looking at a 3" cat back exhaust from a JDM and wondering if it will work? Thanks for your help! Steve
