If you get a 2nd hand one more than likely it's already fatigued :(...

I could type out a 1000 word essay on this subject but being the Net very few would read it so my points here are, There are very FEW new Ideas! The big companies have staff devoted to searching expired patents that have never been made due to insufficient technology/materials at the time...

Congrats!

Adjuster: LOL this is my fallback position if I grenade the new 7M :) I have the Ignition and Driveline in place and will probably go for a new Crate LS1/GT42R combo.

How about a 2jz? ;)

I have this HORRIBLE mental image of Siman in a nurses uniform! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ;)

LOL I'm predicting a few chemical dick burns !! ;)

SNut: You can get them at an auto parts store. I hope you have the car running when you're adding the coolant as this is probably the fastest way to anneal the Head if you don't! :( I'm not sure just what temp the Red zone is but I know my car at 77c is about 4>5 bars up from C which is...

And then some clever prick in Taiwan or China steals the idea reverse engineers it changes the design 10% to circumvent the Patent and you're back to square one with no legal recourse! (don't ask how I know this....) Better to sell the idea to a big company for $XXXX then XX% royalty on each...

Jake: Yep don't run em steady state I usually use a 25 KPH spread just gentle pressure up and down from the cruise speed and I try to not let it idle at all if I can help it! 7M's have some of the hardest Cast Iron I've come across in an Engine block and will glaze rings quickly if they're hard.

I tend to use a single weight oil for the initial breakin as it's all oil and not 4 litres of oil and 1 litre of "vicosity index improver" (this is what makes it change thickness at different temps and is NOT oil) I run the motor for an hour or so gentle driving then change the filter top off...

That pic is the ultra rare "Exxon Valdez JDM" model ;)

I think Jake means for you to unplug the big resistor plug up near the left shock tower it has a big round 4 pin plug.

I have my "stalker hat" on ;)

Jake: You removed the "HKS DeThrobulator" are you insane ??? ;)

For sure! If you work one step at a time and something goes wrong it's usually the last thing you touched! ;) Makes it easier to backtrack and fix things this way as opposed to making a bunch of changes and not knowing which one caused the problem!
