    JaV: It's an 84mm bore Cometic so 0.040" over works fine with 0.020" bore size!

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    JaV: but but but..... I installed another return spring to make it harder to nail it ;)!

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    Same here :( Looking at the BC singles! @ 8000 the springs get red hot so I guess the many many times it went there took a toll!

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Chris: "m8" is Kurt Geek Speak for "mate" ;) LOL yep it would be nice if they settled on ONE standard for this sort of thing! I grew up during the change to Metric here so speak both and still convert some things to imperial to give me a clearer mental picture!

    Universal Coolant overflow Tank Question(Pic)

    TG: Yes I drilled and tapped it for an overflow so it doesn't puke all over the hood! Stock it had a small vent hole! (I run one of these as a header tank on my PC's watercooling and as it doesn't get that hot it's not a problem but as I said earlier in the car capacity is marginal)

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    JaV: Try harder ;) JD: Yep! :( Looks like some of the inners were a bit tight in the outers and due to expansion it caused the outer to be nicked by a bucket....

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    Update! Turns out the bottom end isn't an issue with either crank! I broke a valve spring :( 8000 sustained isn't the best idea!

    "Barrel" of oil

    The big "drums" are 55-USg/44-Imp g. "Barrel" is more a measurement and as Jeff pointed out it's 42 USg/35 Imp g.

    Universal Coolant overflow Tank Question(Pic)

    Mine has an internal tube to the bottom and works as stock! Only problem with these is they're borderline for capacity if you run the car hard! When cold I can only have an inch to an inch and a half of coolant in the can or it runs out of room and overflows when hot!

    my suspension is pissing me off

    3P: I lost a Koni when I had a stock Bump rubber split letting it bottom out and break the piston on the end of the shaft! Since then I've been a touch paranoid about good bump stops! (current coilovers have Porsche progressive rubbers)

    Things I don't like about Supras

    My reply re: 2 piece DS! ;) High speed sustained the 2 piece is far superior! Uni Joints don't spin in circles it's more a figure 8 and the longer the shaft the greater this effect and eventually if it's too long or spinning too fast you get shaft whip/vibration and destruction of parts!
