Is there any real difference between these factory exhaust manifolds.
Obviously Toyota redesigned the part for some reason but I have been unable to find any information regarding the differences. Both have the little double mountain casting mask so they were manufactured by the same...
I tried sanding once before. The dust and polishing compound stained the paint and it did not come out as well. The red was dingy. There are a number of ways to get the same effect. This one worked good for me.
The paint is VHT wrinkle finish. To get the numbers to show up I masked off the black part and sprayed 6 coats of duplicolor red engine paint over the whole top part (numbers and the polished part). Waited about 4 hours for the paint to get really close to dry and I used about a 6 of the good...
I spent the morning working on the new 3000 pipe
I cut two pipes to make 1, welded them up, prime, fill, sand, and paint. Now they are going in the oven. Then I can finish polishing the top. Tomorrow I will shoot it with a couple coats of clear and it will be ready for the new engine...
I really don't like the look of -an fittings and stainless hoses for my set-up and I was wondering if there were any other options available for a custom soft/hard line set-up for turbo/oil cooler. I have a guy that makes custom hydraulic lines. I know that they would hold up to the heat and...
If you still looking for some blue interrior pieces hit me a pm. I am in the asheville area and I have a shell you could pull from. It's not great but there is some good usable stuff.
I have a set of ross pistons #99812 they are listed as .017 over or 83.4 mm. I called Mike Laduca at Ross tech line and he said that the plant where the rings were made was sold and the rings are no longer available. He said that they could custom cut a set of rings for me but it would be $$$...
Yes the crank was replaced 3 times. I did not want to use non-standard bearings
Plasti-gauge was well within factory specs.
The only common denominator is the block but I don't understand how this could effect only 1 rod. From the looks of things #2 was oil starved. All the others simply...
My engine has lost the #2 rod bearing 3 times. Each time it has gouged the crank and it has been replaced 3 times as well in less than 15,000 miles. The oil pump was replaced with a new shimmed asian oil pump the casting was machined to the minium specifications. Runs rich by the plugs. All...
From what I have read clevite does not make bearings for the 7m they out source them to others acl, ndc and federal mougal. There is no telling what will actually be in the box. So removing clevite from the list ndc's were the only brand that I could not find a reliable complaint about and they...
I've got 2 questions I need some help with.
First after tons of reading I am pretty set on running NDC bearings on my build. Not planning on going over 350 - 400 hp. So short of taking a "lucky dip" and getting some clevites from Titan where can I source NDC bearings ?
Second Can anyone...
Tried taking the screws loose and putting it back in the middle about where it was. That did not work so I recalibrate it again. Still pouring black smoke like filling up the garage and boiling out the doors black smoke.
Day before yesterday was the first time I started my car after rebuild. The car ran ok for the 1-2 min. that I had it running. It had a slight low rpm miss and wanted to sputter a little bit at idle. Check every thing for leaks and its all ok.:biglaugh: I go back yesterday and pulled the idle...
