    Hey SM I need Some help buying a couple Parts

    They do it on a 90/10<>10/90 split so you don't get air or a big glug of cold oil :)

    Just pull one belt off at a time and run it to rule out a dud accessory

    Repeated Clutch Master Cylinder Failure

    An "alternative" would be to use a small remote booster like a VH44. This will greatly reduce the pedal effort required. Another risk you're all running is stress fractures of the firewall/bulkhead where the Master bolts on, haven't seen it in a Supra but have in a few other cars in the past.

    LSD gears??? need advice

    Depends on available power of course Lots and you can get away with tall gears ie: 3.7:1 Little and low gears will be the better choice ie: 4.30:1

    Head bolt retorque?

    Frank: There should be more than enough "give" in all of the braces to allow the head to be torqued without undoing any of them. (otherwise the braces would break their mounting points due to disimular expansion rates in the head and block) We tend to view a motor as a very ridgid structure...

    Head bolt retorque?

    SD: Nope not even close it often takes 100+ft/lbs to break em loose so pulling back till they crack is the best way I've found to get an accurate retorque. As you're NOT backing the tension right off it's safe enough to do it this way.
