    heres the problem

    You can do it but it means stripping the head totally guides seats the lot! I had a quote of $1800 AUD to do it so I bought a new casting for $1900 AUD.

    heres the problem

    Cook a 7M head up a few times Jake and they turn to putty! (They seem to go 0 really easily I could find a second hand one that wasn't soft on the exhaust side)

    I guess this is the only downside of a BBK I can't fit smaller cheap wheels and tires on to "Play" ;)

    Adjustable CAM Gears, Who uses them, do and donts

    Jay: Ditto! I'm a bit old school so have had to learn a hell of a lot during the Supra build as I ran it stock for 6 years without an issue! On my last performance motor I made my own billet steel cams and had a local grinder grind them to my specs and played around with lobe centres, MUCH...

    Alex: There have been a few oil fires on Mk3's recently all around that side of the motor so at the very least buy an extinguisher and keep it handy just in case!
