    Alright well I got the Supra runnin. No leaks so far. I am having some trouble though. At first I had the distributor in wrong but I moved it over a tooth and I checked the timing with my light. Seems to be sitting at about 20-25 degrees before TDC. Idles about like it used to before I ever...

    What?!

    Alright so before I turn my 87 Toyota Supra into a roaring bonfire in the front yard, I wanted to see if I could get some help. I am 99% complete with my BHG repair and after pouring a 2 quarts of coolant into my radiator I here it running out somewhere else. It is leaking out of the coolant...

    cleaning the fuel rail and injectors...

    Okay so I'm putting the intake back on my Supra but before I reinstall the fuel rail and injectors I wanna clean them very well. The fuel rail had mud/dirt in it when I took it off and one of the injectors looks pretty dirty/clogged. I bought the injector seal kits for my injectors so I'm...

    Things I should know?

    Okay guys. I got the head back from the machine shop. I bought a set of OEM Toyota head bolts.(I know everyone says ARP but I'm trying to be conservative with money.) What I was hoping is that everyone would put their .02 cents worth in to tell me anything and everything I should know to do...

    Distributor questions...

    Okay so I'm wondering about something. When I used to have my 87 Conquest TSI, it was common for the springs inside the distributor to loose there... "springyness" after a while and you would lose a bit of throttle response. So usually people would either rebuild there distributor or simply...

    Fel-Pro head gasket?

    Anyone had problems running the Fel-Pro head gasket? I bought the Fel-Pro Head Set for my 7MGE and it comes with a regular head gasket. I know most recommend a metal one but has anyone actually had any problems with the Fel-Pro? After adding up all the things I'll need for this job, it...

    BHG job questions....

    I'm in the middle of taking my car apart to replace a head gasket and timing belt. I have come to a couple of stoppers though. 1. How do you get the crankshaft pully off? I read the TSRM and they say to use these specialty Toyota tools. I tried an impact wrench and it wasn't strong enough...

    head removal

    Is there a simpler walkthrough of the cylinder head removal of a 7mge than the TSRM? I have started this undertaking and thought I would be able to take off the intake manifold without removing the upper plenum and throttle body from it but the TSRM says you have to take every little thing...

    What to do?

    I've been enjoying my little MKIII over the past several weeks and just excepting the many problems as a fact of life. It's still been missfiring at idle as well as when your getting on it real hard. Over the past several days though I've been noticing when I start it up it kicks out a lot of...

    vacuum line question...

    I am trying to fix up an 87 MKIII I bought recently and I've noticed the vacuum lines aren't exactly... correct. The chart on the hood shows the vacuum line from the canister going to a valve of some kind on my thermostat housing, then from there to my throttle body. Whatever that valve is, it...

    Hey all

    New to the site. I own a naturally aspirated 87 Supra. Trying to work some bugs out of it. The previous owners were morons so I'm having to "unrig" a lot of stuff. I do already know about the TSRM though so you impulsive responders don't have to say it, LOL. JK. I just corrected the idle...
