oh, i thought his comment was in reference to the fact that i took hex drivers home to remove the studs. If they are finger tight, shouldn't need hex drivers, just your fingers...

well they were all hand tight minus 3 that i had to lightly break loose w/ a 3/8th ratchet. On another note, cleaned up the top of pistons 1 and 6 and they are stampped 050 on the top wich leads me to believe my cylinders are .50+. Unsure about this so gonna search a bit and see what i find.

Ok... Got the head off yesterday. My boy luis came over and helped me out a bit. We were talking at work (when he was picking me up) about the studs and i remembered that they are driven in w/ an allen driver. Picked up my set and got all the studs out wich allowed me to pull the head. Was...

ok, placed the order for a full gasket set from ebay. kinda glad that i never finished reassembling the other short block or tore this motor apart till now. After rebreading the 7M Assembly Tips thread, i've noticed i would have tad a ton of issues since i hadn't first looked around instead of...

Ok, seems like the valve cover job is good. Driven it around for a bit and not noticing any oil on the spark plug valley cover. Still have to debug the no power to the fuel pump problem. I think the wire for the jumper harness i had installed for the 12v walbro mod came loose. hopefuly thats...

:yelrotflm I love my 7M. Blown 2 out of ignorance, and got a third that im fixing because i cheaped out on the build. If it wasn't for the fact that I've spent so much on new aftermarket performance bolt-ons for the 7M tho, Id jump on a 2JZ in a heart beat. 99 out of 100 times the weakest...
