Hey guys In the process of soldering in clips for my RC 550's...I'm having a brain fart and cannot remember which part of the harness feeds down through the intake mani. Its got to be the wires for the knock sensors but I have my harness all laid out on the block and want to make sure I have...

Hello, I have never formally introduced myself here on this forum, but i have been lurking around for a little while. My name is John, I'm 24 and from Nebraska, and love my supra! I have made some good progress on my build and will continue to add updates. I believe this is a great way to...

Is it normal for the cometic MLS head gasket to block some of the water jackets down one side of the block? I have a complete rebuild gasket set and a cometic and both HG's do this..everything else lines up perfectly except these few...I don't understand why they would make a gasket do this...

I feel really dumb for not knowing this but I can't find a picture anywhere... My machine shop obviously had to take these off to deck the block but they didn't put these back in and I forgot where they go does this look right? Sorry for bad pic...cell phone.

So my machine shop had to remove .50 from the rod journals (because of spun rod) and .25 from the mains. Has anyone had any actual success or the more probable failure from running the 6m crank with that much taken off? Some say it will be fine and some say no way.

Machine shop calls a week after I was supposed to have my block and says one rod (the one where my bearing spun) does not measure within spec and all the other ones are perfect. So my question is what is the best way to go about finding one stock rod in very good condition? I'm not ready to...

I know our oil coolers or rather our entire oiling systems are widely covered topics, but does anyone have a good method for cleaning and reusing an oil cooler during a rebuild? I have decided to stick with my stock cooler for now, just purchased new lines and new pump. But I spun a rod...

Should finally have my short block back from machine shop soon.VERY excited... So I have been cleaning the piss out of everything and getting all the little parts, hoses, gaskets and bolts ready to start reassembly. I have a couple things that came up when I was getting everything ready...

Hey guys, Im looking at picking up a used SAFC from a friend of a friend hat had it on his srt4. He's offering it pretty cheap so I just want to make sure everything is there so I don't have any problems with install. Can someone chime in and let me know what to look for as I've never had...

So I was just curious if anyone has ever tried to completely disassemble the 7mgte factory oil pump and clean it/make sure its working fine and reassamble it? If so, what were the results? I have time to waste in the shop while I'm waiting for my block to be machined and figured I have...

I am currently rebuilding my 7mgte and seems like the more I tear into it the more bad news I find and the more money I have to dump into it. So I need some inspiration! Given that some of you have the same mods done as I am putting on this engine, what does the car feel like? I'm not just...

This is the first engine i have had bottom end off of and thr engine is finally out and on the stand and when I took the pan off noticed some brass colored flakes by the magnet. I will be pulling the caps off to check the crank tonight and was wondering if you guys have a good way of keeping all...

So I pulled engine out and put it on a stand and when I dropped the oil pan there were trace amounts of brass looking flakes. Everything looks great though to this point, crank turns great, can't feel any play in rods or pistons but I will be pulling the caps to change the rod/main bearings, but...

So I have all the tranny bolts out, the inspection plates are off, the slave cylinder is off...do I need to reach up in through the inspection area and get the fork out because this tranny will not come off the block? There is about a quarter inch gap between the bell housing and the block and...

This has had to be covered somewhere but I cannot find what I'm looking for. I'm just taking out the AC altogether in the supra while doing my rebuild and was wondering if there was somewhere that describes the process of deleting the entire AC in the MKIII? Just need to know a few little things...

So the dumb a** that owned my car before me ran the wiring harness through the intake Mani and it has been frustrating. There is a wire that runs all the way down to on top the tranny and splits off and clips to two little black boxes that I assume are speed sensors or something. Anyway I tried...

So here the deal...I spend way too much time running into problems on my rebuild, researching them and then trying out the solution out only to find out later there was an easier way...I dont get a whole lot of time in the shop so when i do i need it to count....so what I am looking for is for a...

Okay so got my 87 supra last Feb and after sorting out minor problems drove great for a couple months then finally started pouring coolant out of overflow and making waterfall sounds and started making a tapping noise that came from top end or at least thats what we concluded and that got louder...

Hi, im new to the forum and want to say i appreciate a community like this, this is great to be a part of and hopefully i can contribute some of my knowledge in the future. I have owned my 87 supra for a year now and it has been in the shop for 8 months of it waiting on parts (i have 2...
