Yes.. and it's sucking me dry. :owned: But no matter how much my car tries to make me hate it.. I can't help but love it...

Man, to get the block resurfaced, you have to take it all apart, and at that rate I'd be better off rebuilding the damn engine... I am about two seconds away from just putting a stocker on and selling the car.

According to the FAQ on SF stock size is 1.2mm

What about the size of the MHG? Should I use the 1.2MM like he suggests?

Yeah, I know about the bearing thing, I drained the oil, no coolant whatsoever. I just got off the phone with my local machine shop (I've used them before and they've got their ducks in a row) and he said to just get the 1.2MM HG and to just shave the head? I asked him about doing the block...

Why do they even sell 1.2MM thick MHG's if you have to mill the head and block?

You are correct sir.

I'm basing what I do on what you guys tell me, I'll tell the machine shop to take off however much needs to be taken off for the correct HG. And I've done plenty of research on HG's I've been doing it for a year now, Lurking is a great thing. I know that 1.2 is stock size, so yeah 1.4 does...

No idea... I'll find it though.

Define RA please, I've honestly never heard it, and I probably should've added that it's a Bead type, not the stopper.

Okay guys, it turns out it's cheaper to put a MHG on the Supra than to replace the upper control arm on my buick, so I'm going to part out the buick. My question is: Assuming that my engine has never been touched, how much will I need to machine off of the head and block to use a 1.2MM HKS...

Sounds to me like all three problems are related to your battery and your grounding. Check the TSRM for all of your grounding points on the Supra, clean them, and reinstall them. Then check your battery terminals, use some protectant, and clean them, and make sure they are snug. And also, I'd...

You know theres a thing that goes on the positive terminal coming from the fuse block in the engine bay right? I hope thats connected :)

Move it to the front with normal battery terminals, when I did an engine swap on my buddies car, I went to start it and EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR FLICKERED. Scared the living shit out of me cause it was dark. Do yourself a favor and try it :)

Sold my 88NA/AT Motor for $700, I did the swap though into an 87NA/AT Car

From what you guys are saying, I'm glad my first Manual tranny was my R154 in my Supra, otherwise, I'd just miss my old trannies...

Yuck, I hate those battery relocate things, they drain your battery because the electricity has to travel much farther, fill the wires, and drains your power. Plainly.. I think the relocate could be your problem.. Did you try it with the battery back up front?

I did the Swap thing, and after getting a BHG 500 miles after having my JDM engine in my car, I'd wish I'd just bought a 7M with a BHG from a junkyard and just rebuilt it... It costs less... +1 for Rebuild

Knock Knock Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Champion only sells the universal 90+ harnesses IIRC that have EVERYTHING on them. I bought mine for $391 :) Ask Jeff for a 1990 Turbo Auto harness, and make sure you ask for JEFF.
