I have a felpro gasket and they assure me it's the same as OEM, am stock anyway and don't plan on increasing HP until I fully do the suspension and brakes anyway and that is all in the distant future. I just need the car to run and what I have will work perfectly fine for that. Yea I have seen...

Alright here are some pics of the oil that splashed out of the pipe above the 3000 pipe and this grounding wire, I think, snapped off of the screwed on part of the coil pack. I tried removing the screw but it would not budge and kind of stripped it a bit, so I tried the other side and it...

Turbo doesn't have any shaft play unless you need to hold it with a needle nose pliers and pull firmly

some chocolate milk oil splashed out of the pipe above the 3000 intake pipe, my phone doesn't seem to want to upload pictures to Flickr so I will upload pics after I am done in a few hours and upload them from my computer.

The oil is already in container it just looked really dark it didn't look like chocolate milk; however, under the oil cap is where there is the chocolate milk mix. Here is the oil cap Now inside of the oil bolt I did find some really thick black oil I tried scooping out with a stick or...

I don't have the tools to get the motor out of the car lol

I plan on flushing the motor thoroughly after the change the gaskets anyway so hopefully that will get rid of the old oil and coolant. I have the previous threads on this site and supraforums about changing a head gasket and what tools are needed I just wanted to make this thread as progress...

Forgive me if this has been done before but I feel it is best that I make this thread so I let you guys know what is going on while I am doing this. Since it is unlikely that we all have the exact same issues while we work on our cars I think it is a good idea for me to make this thread. Thank...

Status update: Fel Pro gasket kit came in, head studs, timing belt kit, and bushings are on the way. Time to start tearing down the motor :D

Yea that is the only thing I am really more afraid of is the timing belt because if I accidentally throw something off or do something wrong I don't want pistons smashing into valves lol but 7Ms aren't interference so I don't have to worry about that. I ordered ARP head studs, shifter bushing...

My shifter wobbles and shakes, to fix that I need to replace the shifter bushing right? I think it's part number 90387-08134, seems to be cheaper at the dealership than on driftmotion.com

Yea I thought I remember reading that 7Ms are non interference motors. Thanks for the recommendation I'll go for the Gates kit.

I am really interested in pics because I am debating on going for coilovers or an EDFC type system so I can have TEMS but on steroids for sport mode.

Now I am getting to the part where I start ordering the parts and tearing down the motor and I would like to run by some parts to make sure they are the right ones. I am going to replace the timing belt and tensioner I see one on Rockauto.com a good year kit that says for interference engine...

Damn nice I love the look of a clean block

From my experience with searches I never get the exact answer I need or it finds threads with a similar issue but not the one I have

I figured once I was in there that picture would make more sense lol. Also bare with me because when I am doing stuff like this I tend to either ask simple questions or questions that I know the answer to but want reassurance, like I would even ask you guys how to breathe lol but I do it so I am...

If it is $20 at the dealer then I might as well get it there since at driftmotion with shipping it's like 35 cents less than the dealer. My question is where do you apply it? It is very difficult to tell exactly where those positions are from that picture in the TSRM lol. I am going to take the...

I have another question what is this seal packing I found in the TSRM? http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=55 I can't really tell exactly where to put that or do I even need it?

Thanks for the info everyone, the only con I have read with graphite gaskets are that they don't like oil but otherwise they are great, handle high heat very well and seal great. I won't use the ebay kit head gasket I am going with Felpro that is close to OEM if not the same. I don't plan on...
