Let me repeat my question; What codes are indicated?

Aha. Makes sense. I misunderstood.

Yup, but there's no distortion to the inner surface, or the plane of the mounting face. And thus, no affect(wobble) on the plane of rotation of the belt face.

This is the damage to the cam gears, though it doesnt seem to affect them adjustment-wise:

That price sounds pretty much impossible. If they actually used oem valves, springs, & retainers, then the parts cost alone would exceed that total price. I would expect to pay at least $320 for just the machine work.

Good call. Most folks recommend either a failsafe tstat, which fails open, Or the oem, as it is more accurate.

Not a bad price, but i would set up my own valve lash, not that a hundred is out of line for the effort.

Lol. Apparently, i was doing something wrong. Too mush polishing reduces efficiency. Anyway, as luck would have it, the cam gear seller emailed me, saying that he was out of stock on the silver cam gears, and issued me a refund, so turns out no $$ wasted after all.

Ps- thanks GP. I appreciate it. Some sorta good news/bad news. The replacement of the backplate bolts with some buttonhead screws did indeed solve the clearance issue with the AEM cam gears. Also, after taking apart the damaged gears, i found that the two depressions on each gear actually fell...

Helicoiled my head to 7/16, and test-fit the manifold.

Based on his interior color being burgundy, I really can't see any sort of blue or green, period. Unless he's willing to swap out interiors, I suggest pearl black, the mahogany or burgundy pearl(I seem to be agreeing alot with you lately, Absolute Speed), OR a graphite/ dk gray color.

Yes: Most people(including myself) would suggest either Eibach or H&R springs, paired up with tockico blue, KYB or(if you're baller) Koni or Bilstein struts. Koni's cost more, but you can adjust their stiffness. Poly bushings- Most people go with Energy suspension, because they're affordable...

Helicoiled the head up to 7/16" today. taped up all the openings. LOTS of aluminum shavings to deal with. Test fit of the manifold. I had to port it quite a bit to match it up to the gasket(ports weren't even round). Happy with the results

Don't recall, to be honest. Might have been the DNJ set from Rockauto. They're listed as cylinder head plugs, which is a bit weird.

And I'm assuming that's the rarest usdm Supra color?

Lol. Why couldn't I have known this BEFORE last night.? Maybe some button head bolts would have fit behind it, but I definitely want to run the backing plate.

Getting there... Had a small setback yesterday. After I installed the head, I installed my AEM cam gears and torqued them down. Tried to check rotation of the cams, and neither one would budge a single millimeter. I started freaking out in my mind, wondering if pistons were hitting valves...

Ditto. My mom had a corona mkII. It was one of her favorite cars ever. And yeah- an engine cover would be a novel idea, or perhaps two smaller covers that hide most of the junk on the inner fenders...

IF you're getting pulse to the injector plugs, and IF your injectors have proper impedance, and IF you can hear them clicking(opening), then the only thing it could be, is either a blocked rail, or blocked injectors. Does that logic sound right?

The mounts are factory. ...just a different factory... :)
