    Cyl wall damage near very bottom question

    Okay I took another look over my block, I had noticed this before but now its bugging me, The bent rod must have hit the very bottom of the Cyl wall on #1. I have a tiny chunk of cyl wall missing, not big, rises about a 1/2" from the very bottom of the wall. Will the piston rings at bottom...

    quick supra vs 3000?

    Agreed my brother bought a 94 Stealth R/T twin turbo brand new (VR4) it was still the AWS/AWD like the VR4, that thing was fast, for what it was. And to be so heavy they handle like a monster.

    Possible fuel problems

    yeah, theres no way for the brake fluid to enter the motor... All that would be is a vacuum leak.

    Loud Ticking noise from front of engine

    Couldnt gurgling just be that it isnt bled properly? And the catch can oil could be that way due to moisture building up in it.

    Loud Ticking noise from front of engine

    From him saying ticking, because a knock is usually very pronounced, Im going to have to agree that it is very possibly the TB tensioner, Ive had a tensioner go bad on me before, (but I let it go till it seized up and broke the belt.... stupid me) If you do get a tensioner.. order one from...

    door/ powered rear view mirror/ glass

    If the mirrors are remotely like the MR2 mirrors of the era, its possible. In the center is a ball which holds it in, and the 2 adjusting arms that also pop in for the electric controls. Just be very careful when removing the replacement, as if you flex it at all it will shatter. Also on...

    sad day in my little world

    Im no expert on the 7m in fact im still reading and learning, but I can say you running a synthetic to break in the motor is a no-no for trying to properly seat your piston rings. And while that might not have anything to do with your newly aquired hole-in-block, Maybe you should have...

    Possible fuel problems

    could be the TPS, definately check to make sure its adjusted correctly. If its off your ecu could be pulling up the wrong fuel and ignition maps based on what it thinks is the correct throttle position when its not.

    Sway Bar Links

    Try to find adjustable endlinks, BICperformance a vendor here sells them. To my understanding when the car is fully rested on the ground you want the sways to be parallel to the ground or near parallel.

    1987 MKIII buildup

    Search, there is alot of info on the boards and links found within the posts which show how to get close to 400hp out of the ct26. But your question is VERY vague... no one here is going to tell you part by part how to build an engine to make xxx amount of hp. Your on your own until you have...
