stop looking at the boost gauge.......haha jk....

haha yeah i showed up there and only saw yours and my supra. and then a bunch of honda people....i guess a few more people showed up but no one took the initiative to get everyone together, introduce themselves, and their rides....i just went to the pavillions.....

i think i saw you at the boboa tea house a few months back.....

there is a decent possibility that the mhg did not seal properly and is letting some exhaust gasses into your colling system and creating more pressure than normal....i would suggest a leakdown test...

what color is the speed sensor wire that comes out of the tranny? im currently trying to connect my blitz power meter to it. thanks, justin

just build it right the first time! check your clearances and dont buy a motor from someone unless they know exactly what they were doing then they built it...

just to make it worse!!!! i got her running and driving with the newer motor and IT has rodknock!! dammit! its faint but its there...i have really good oil pressure now (20 psi idle) but the new motor is no good.....

get a new one!!! for the love of god, i would hate for this to happen to someone else....i miss driving her, and the money i just spend on this other motor...if you get a re-man, shim it!! ~5mm no more.....

i went with ian's idea and shimmed it ~4mm....

because i didnt pay for the new parts. i bought the car as a project and it came with the motor. the previous owner said the oil pump was checked and rebuilt. i took the cap off and checked the clearances of it but failed to check the relief spring as i wasn't aware it was a problem for 7m...

no didn't shim it. i now know about shimming and i just shimmed my new oil pump with 5mm of washers as well as my oil cooler circuit...

done

im pretty sure number six rod is no good...ill need new bearings and possibly a new crank...that was a 7m crank too.....dammit...

so some of you know, a couple months back, i put in a brand new motor. new block from toyota, new head from toyota, new cams, micropolished crank, arp everything.... well the motor blew and i thought i snapped a rod but when i opened up my oil pan, i found this: dont know how it...

and remember to do them one by one in order per tsrm. ive seen people loosen all of them and then torque to just to blow a hg....

ok thanks guys....should have paid more attention to ian's post....

so i want to shim my oil pump relief spring 5mm and my oil cooler relief spring 5mm?
