thanks. ill prob go with some 5w30 penzoil

Just ordered a Shaftmaster 1-piece Aluminum DS and Powerslot Rotors along with various Redline Fluids (Tranny, LSD, and Motor Oil). Any recommendations for what oil i should use to break in the new motor?

just for shits and giggles, have someone wiggle your cps connector while you trying to start the car and see if that does anything. -pete

was the car sitting over the winter or any long period of time? -pete

if there isnt enough voltage to start the car... it clearly wont start. your problem most likely lies in the wiring. could be a bad ground, or to much strain on your charging system. im no expert tho. i would check to see if you have the correct alternator part number. what is the voltage...

hahaha... i know man. i used to drive with big rims, but ive been through too many sets and want to use my money elsewhere. once this build is squared away, im def gonna buy a new set of 17x10 for the rear and 17x9 up front. i prob wont put them on till after the winter tho. my suspension is...

the issues werent really with the probes themselves, but rather the block. i finally found a block that was bored to .020 over. but when i brought it to my machinist, he said that the tolerances were close to the extreme. he said if he did the machining, he would aim to have the piston to...

good job what?

Update: -I got a new block from jblmk3 with a perfect condition crank. -I was running into too many problems with the Probe .020 pistons as far as tolerances go, so i broke down and ordered a set of CP .040 oversized forged pistons -Ordered the Suprasport short shifter -Received the BIC poly...

what about the issues with vibrations at high speeds with the one-piece ds? -pete

i went with the cp pistons... ill let you know how everything goes. thanks for the help -pete

no thats fine.... ive been looking for someone to coat but havent found anyone. im interested as well

what do you think or crower pistons? would they be good for my goals? -pete

i dont want to deal with problems like that. ross are a good choice in your opinion? -pete

oh ok. so i should probably buy a set of .040 pistons and sell my probes?

i was refering to the piston to wall clearances. i will experience piston slap with these tolerances? thanks -pete

in my current build, but i have .020 over probe forged pistons. my machinist said that the tolerances listed on the spec sheet are between 2 thousanths and 6 thousanths. the block i bought its overbored and the clearances are in the 5 thousanths range... close to the extremes. he said that he...

doubt its the o2 sensor. some more info would be useful in diagnosing the problem. before you starting experiencing the problem, have you recently done any work or install anything new? what are your mods? have you tested the iscv (since the car ran after you unplugged it)? -pete

as far as the rebuild head, have a machinist measure to see how much it has been cut. i once bought a rebuilt head and it turned out that it was cut beyond toyotas specs and shouldnt have been used. and another time i bought a re manufactured motor where the block was overbored to the max and...
