Maybe a dumb question here; but, is it something worth doing?

The engine is still in the car. I have the pan off and have changed all the rod bearings so far. I'll be pulling the main caps tomorrow to inspect them. Can or has anyone successfully changed out the main bearings without removing the crank? If so...how? I have one idea and that is to...

Basically the sensor twisted off and the rest of it stayed in the block. I'll check on both the tap extractor and I'll call the machine shop and see what recommendations they have. Got the dip stick tube out. I just had to man up and hit it harder! :biglaugh:

I called the machine shop and setup a time to drop off my block. They want the block stripped. No problem right?! Well, when I was removing the oil pressure sensor, it twisted off and the threads stayed in the block. Has anyone had this happen and what did you do? It is going to a machine...

Good question. I've just seen some of the advertised ones state that. ?? I think some of the earlier "Home-made" ones weren't built very well. The ones advertised as of late seem to be made pretty well. They're getting cheaper and cheaper though! :icon_bigg

Can't give you a time estimate; but, my buddy pulled his engine twice and says that leaving the tranny attached is the way to go. Good Luck!!!

I've been considering one of these only as long as I can keep my A/C. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supra-7MGTE-MA70-Turbo-Manifold-1986-1992-MKIII_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33632QQihZ004QQitemZ140196468995QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Any thoughts...experiences...??

Great post! I need a clutch also. I'm in the middle of building my engine and don't know how much torque it'll be producing. Is there a formula, table, or chart somewhere that gives approximate calculations...how does one figure the approximate torque?

Not missing any point and didn't fail to search. I simply want as many informed opinions as I can get prior to my purchase. My apologies for imposing on you; but, thanks for your input. And 'Thank You' to all of you who graciously gave your opinioin!:icon_bigg

I am going to have my CT26 built; but, don't know which trim to choose. My goal for the car is for it to be a daily driver with spunk. So, what are your opinions and experiences? In choosing between reliability and power...I choose reliability! Thanks...

That is awesome info! Thanks guys! Through another member in my area, I found a competant shop so my block is going in for work this week. I was quoted a 1-2 day turnaround for the amount of work I'm having done. It won't be long after that and my baby will be back to rippin up the...

So then is the general consensus that 550's are a MUST with a Lexus AFM?

Not even with balanced and blueprinted 440's?

Yeah, no kidding!!! This is my first few days of questioning and posting and things are going good for more than just myself! This is a really great resource and so far...really great folks! :icon_bigg
