Yeah okay its definately an early block then, I guess it is a GTE then given everything else then. And I get the block ribs, just like in 87 the 4A series got a 7 rib and beefier block versus the 84-86 5 rib 4a. interesting how it doesnt have squirters though, I would have thought it to...

Nice looking block IJ. Yeah I remember that on the block, looks like that, a hole with one side cut away kinda.

Well block is bare and bagged now at my fathers in his shed, awaiting me to take it to the machinist. But if you could give me an idea of where to look and what Im looking for, next weekend when I go get it out I will check it all out. BTW this motor also had a drain back on the oil pan...

I suppose thats what that is below the filter area? And to the left of the filter area it looks like maybe the Water outlet to turbo BUT that one had a flat block off plate on it. So I again assumed it was a GE along with the no squirters deal. I have not tore into the Supra engine bay yet...

Ahh just read your edit.. so thats what those 3 are on the upper driver side of block, nice. Your saying the early GE blocks have the 2 spots for the gte KS config as well as the standard GE KS config?

Now that I didnt know, Thanks IJ. Its possible it could be an early, anything else visual on the block for me to determine if its a gte? This was a bare longblock, so really nothing extra was attached to it for me to really say for sure it was.

What IJ said above, No oil squirters. (didnt take a pic of that bit of block) Unless JDM GTE's do not have the squirters, which would seem odd.

(I own an 87 turbo so this isn't a NA-->turbo only thread) Well long story short This motor was a package deal with the Supra I bought from my best friend, this motor was "supposed" to be a JDM GTE as per the person who sold it to my friend. Well..... Its not. (pics below) It was...

Okay got it, 6m stamped, on 7m its not, Rod journals # 2 & 5 on 6m dont have full counterweights. Okay im good, thanks alot guys!

How can I tell these apart visually? The motor Im about to be rebuilding, well I have no clue on the year its a JDM GTE, It has a bent rod, and I figure the crank may be bad too. But anyway Im rambling, Is there an easy way to tell the differences? Thanks guys, --Steve

Why would I need the tq plate? I had thought that was for boring them out, not just a simple hone to give me some crosshatch.

Nah no spit out rods. I think Im going to take your guys advice. Im going to tear down the bent rod motor and have it worked. Machine shop quoted me these prices Block and head milled for MHG (I made sure they can do the RA30 or less) $145 for the block & $65 for the head. Crank...

Im just very skeptical about using blocks with screwed up bottom ends. The motor in the car now has about 230K miles (original motor) and knocks like hell. The other GTE (I have no clue how you bend a rod) but its bent bad.. and before I bought all this as a package the previous owner had...

Currently I have 2 GTE motors. 1 rod knocks BAD. the other has a bent rod on #1. Ive found a JDM GE long block near me (never ran since bought..so they say). I want to put my GTE pistons in it with new rings. And of course the normals, Cometic MHG and full seal kit. I know it doesnt...

That rear weatherstripping is only about $52 discounted from a place like 1sttoyotaparts.com or my guy. Either way something should fix this leak from all the gaskets I got. Im going to clean up the outer end spoiler gaskets use some silicone spray to soften them up a bit then may get...

Okay, had to reorder my seals from my other discount dealer since 1sttoyotaparts.com was being a pain. Whats still available: Hatch seal Tailight seals Center spoiler seal grommet nut thing for rear wiper Out of what I originally ordered heres whats not available in the US anymore...

Already pulled :icon_wink

Nah car has almost zero rust. Georgia car its whole life. And somewhat taken care of. Think Ill take that trim off the lower glass and see what I can silicone up and put the rtv on the stud grommets. Im loving the suggestions and possible fixes guys, keep it up!

What has been done to correct this problem with the corners, If this is what it is. Okay Ill order the wiper grommet for assurance. But what about the lower window garnish nuts? Do I just snug those up or should I remove that molding and silicone it up then reinstall?

Guys what are the most common spots in the rear these cars leak from? Ive ordered new spoiler gaskets, talight gaskets and tag light gaskets (not here yet) oh and also a few hatch panel clips. Is there any other spot it could leak from? Im getting water build up in the spare tire...
