I will try to bring a piston or just the one that looks most worn to work tomorrow so I can mic. it. No mic. at home :(

When I tore the motor apart when I first got it I could tell that it had never been taken apart before. I don't think the factory would have put in the wrong size pistons? The only time I ever really even heard the "slap" was during the vid that I took, probably becasue the camera was on the...

Um.... Thats not good, I was thinking you would be my best bet for an answer!

Added some more pics and IMG tags. The bearings look a lot worse in the pic than they actually are. They are all smooth with no pitting or major wear

Will do that in a sec here... I am also trying to upload that video I mentioned but youtube is not liking me at the moment

Uhhhhh, about twice a week maybe, normally only bought it up to 140-150 though... Hit redline in 5th many many times though I know I know Death wish:3d_frown:

Yeah, I have read that thread already. I searched for a few hours yesterday and thats about all I came up with that helped. Edit: I know exactly what piston slap is.... but I am just looking for an answer as to how safe it is to drive the rest of next summer

Last year I purchased a JDM 7mgte to put into my 77 Celica. Upon receiving the engine I pulled it apart, lightly lapped the head and block to remove small imperfections, installed a new OEM HG, and put it back together using ARP head studs. Mods are(if it matters): Cooleeze Big Mouth DP...

I am bumping this and adding a picture for anyboday that may have the same problem in the future. If you didn't read through the whole thread.... I broke the trans, thought it was a shift fork, and it just turned out to be just the bolt that held the 1-2 shift fork to the rail

My car will pull hard to redline in 5th 1977 Celica Liftback 7M-GTE R154 3.91 Mopar axle 195/70/R14 Crap tires Speedo is pretty far off at that speed, but it is a GPS indicated 162 at redline I have a death wish I guess... those tires are rated for like 90mph. And a 32 year...

BUMP I have the same question

Honestly.... from far away I kinda the MK3's look like 1st gen Ford Probes. :sarcasm: /offtopic

My nice stock celica couldn't get out of its own way, so I haddddd to do something ;)

Update: ordered some "smiley" fiberglass bumpers for her. should save about 80lbs or so, and it will look much better. motor is out... might be going the mhg route to be safe

Thanks J.J. :naughty:

I just have them hooked up with a thermostatic controller.... sooo none of the stuff you mentioned. Any suggestions, or well, more in-depth suggestions?

I'll have to wait a while, I have the motor out of the car at the moment for some machine work. I'll let you know the measurements when I stuff it back in there

I wish I had enough room to install the factory fan setup..... I had no choice but to put in e-fans :( now I constantly worry that they will fail. pics

Just wondering if this would fit in my car, 1977 Celica with a 7M I dont have much clearence, I am already sitting very close to the brake booster Pic

another question.... I know my engine is a gray plug, 7m crank, and it had a digital dash.... any idea on the year?
