Really sucks to hear. Post pics if you have them so more eyes can maybe look out for it. Best of luck.

I am actually liking the looks of the wheels on the car. Very clean looking car also.

^^ Why must you give me nightmares? :aigo: I have seen horrible things done to motors in my days. You should see what happens to a 22R motor when someone uses 3 tubes of orange silicone on the timing cover/oil pan.

I agree that thrust bearings are an odd item to wear out especially on an auto. I dont need a mic to measure the distance it moves. It is very visible. Almost as if the motor never had them installed. Hopefully I can patch at it this weekend and keep it going long enough to get my wifes Camry...

Ask how many water pumps have been on their engine....this year.

Driveplate? As in flexplate? I hope not. I know the thrust bearings are worn as I can move the crank in and out with a prybar. Noise coincides with crank coming forward.

Fidgeting under the hood yesterday I noticed an odd noise when first putting the car in gear, coming to an idle or just off of idle. Upon inspection I found that I have thrust washer wear allowing the crankshaft to move laterally. The noise comes from the torque convertor bolts. ATM I cant set...

Just continually show them the part of your car that reads: Toyota Supra. No more talk needed.

You too!! How bad is your leak? Mine seems to be really bad at payday. On topic, I do need to replace my rack and pinion as it seems to be leaking now.

Ummmm...... I have to agree with Weezl.

*Digs into old folders*

Do a very good inspection of you lower control arms. Seems like I see the bushing in the rear wear more than the front but either could be your problem.

Call a local NAPA parts store and ask for part #82920 to service just the one wheel. To do both rear wheels ask for part #82920A.

It happens everyday, everywhere. Dont lose any sleep over it.

You wont know how thick a gasket you need until the machine is finished milling the head & block. If you dont have BHG at this time , I would suggest checking the torque on the head bolts and driving it until you have problems.

For now I am a dirty freeloader. I wouldnt mind a CD version of it.

Enough of the SR20/240SX talk already! We are on a MK III Supra forum for krissakes! j/k :evil2: :icon_razz That parts/donor car is an excellent find. Wish I could get one in similar fashion for my needs. Good luck with the near future build.

There are actually a few different sub groups of "car guys". The ones that usually go for this stuff are the very impressionable ones. You will constantly find them in Autozone shopping on the "plastic-chrome" isle. Their knowledge is very limited on most things mechanical. IE, they know where...

Best way to learn is to dive in and mess up as little as possible.

Get some Plasti-guage from your local parts store. Pull each rod and main cap and measure the results. This way you have and "hands on" way to ensure if you need new bearings or not. The pistons/rings on the other hand are a bit more difficult. Better to let a machine shop take these...
