Not really sure when, Im concentrating on getting the car going atm, but it wouldnt be too long, maybe a few months, Ive heard the low trims should last a good while, while one like the 60-1 may not due to alot more stresses on the shaft. I dont want the 60-1 anyway though, I want to keep the...

I havent measured anything, this i a guess, since i can feel it move. The motor in the car now, its CT may be better, If not I may swing for a low trim like the 54 or 57 from driftmotion, it really not much more than having a stock rebuild.

I really dont know the actual shaft play, i haven't measured it yet, it does move though. Maybe the one in my car now is ok, motor has all of 121k miles, so it will be hit or miss on it too, but we will see.

87 supra turbo targa, painted blue, with a front nose skirts and the little pieces that attach to the rear quarters to make the rear transition look better, blue interior, 5 speed. Thats all I know about it. Anyone know this guy? Just trying to see what was done to this motor, its probably a...

Okay picked up the motor today, they did a decent job of getting it out of the donor car. Wire harness is still 100% intact, only thing broke is they broke a sensor off thats on the thermostat housing. No biggie. I popped off the oil fill cap, and to amazement the head within is still...

heres a quick one I found, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOL-150-141-070/ Not for our car im sure, but for reference.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you tried silver plugs? Silver is supposed to conduct electricity better than almost any other metal, but I really do not know if that equates into better spark. Please correct me if i am wrong, just figured I would ask.

Have you tried anything like bleeding the system very thoroughly?

Thanks for that tip there. Okay I ordered the bearings (std) from Titan Motorsports today (there on clearance) and ordered a Beck/Arnley HG (similar construction to OEM with the copper around the water jackets) This weekend i'm going to install the head studs and do the gaskets and...

Dealer just did the TB less than 900 miles ago on this engine, If they did that it would not supreise me if they went ahead and replaced the tensioner as well as all seals on the front side of the motor.

He has had that kit for a long time now, also another place in the states to order it from is www.twosrus.com Ive done business with both guys before David from twosrus and the guy who owns Kbox, they are huge names over on the MR2 forums. Good guys really.

I got to inspect it very thoroughly (spelling?) and it ran like a champ, it purred like a sewing machine, a good tune up should get rid ofthat off idle stumbling. It had lots of dealer service records in the car so someone tried to maintain it good. Heck I didnt even notice any valvetrain...

While I do agree, Im not sure I will have time nor funds to replace them, Im assuming you mean only Rods, maybe thrust washers, not the mains, you said 1 hour to do. OEM Rod bearings arent the cheapest for a set, I can however get a set of Clevite 77's from work for pretty cheap in a STD...

www.kbox.ca also has CPS seal kits that includ a new pin and the inner shaft seal. If this is the same type of kit you are referencing through Motion Ind.

Something I thought of.. Is there any problem with using black silicone vacuum lines? I have once "heard" they are not that great for longevity.

That would allow me to put my studs in :) any specific coolant hoses your referencing? I had planned to replace any oil hoses and small lines I saw, might replace all the vacuum lines with black silicone too, just as a precaution.

About to swap my knocking gte out for a good running one, Just curious if there are any tips and tricks I should know before I get started. I found a motor with 159k on the clock, runs like a top minus a little off throttle skip, but clears up if you rev it slightly and hold, you can't tell...

Odysseys are just as good as Optima's and are half the weight or less of the Optima. Plus they are cheaper generally.

Block is in pieces atm. crank out everything, ditched the bearings and all so test fitting wouldn't be an option. Ill measure it like stated, whats the piston to deck height at TDC on these anyway? Ill measure stroke from that down and see if its close.

:: facepalm :: Wow yeah, I definately should have thought of that. Damn, sorry for this post, its late. Sometimes the obvious eludes me.
