    It begins again

    it had no exhaust on it cause i sold it, and you should still be able to hear a rod knock with loud exhaust, the thing idle quiet enough to hear a conversation while right next to the engine. Again i apologize for you having the rod knock with it. even 2 weeks ago after i bought this cressida i...

    Yea, and what do you want me to do about it. Your the one who handed the money over for it. Your the one who didnt test drive it, you didnt let the car warmup to see if there were any problems while warm, you didnt check the coolant, you didnt check the oil, you came, heard it running, and...

    83' Cressida 5 speed vs 86' Monte Carlo SS

    So im minding my own business, driving down a 50 mph 1 way road in my 83' Cressida 5 speed 5mge(278,000 miles on it too), when all the sudden out of my rear view mirror i see this black Monte SS come up right on my ass, literally on my bumper. The lane then splits into 2, and he obviously slams...

    If this Cressida was an automatic, it would of blown the head gasket, i just happened to put my car in neutral going downhill and it stalled out, then it made me notice the heat gauge way up there (funny cause from driving my 7mge all the time i would look at the temp gauge more than my...

    92nsx's supra build

    I never knew that you put so much effort into your supra when i came and bought those parts from ya and checked it out. Great job. My Cressida was totaled and got $1400 for it. Spent it on school bills. And a year later it was worth the wait, cause i found a 83' mx53 Cressida 5 manual LSD, from...

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    I was just like you a year ago had no idea what i was doing, then i started taking things apart, learning where they go, how it works, and also a camera helps out a lot to remember where certain bolts go. Supramania was a life saver for me during when i started takin my motor apart, and tons of...

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    I'm pretty sure if your block was resurfaced 10k ago, that it should be fine. my block surface had noticeable digs and scratches all over, and it works fine. But im also not running a turbo. Also how many miles do you have on your block? have you checked your rods/pistons/rings and crank? 18...

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    went with felpro HG cause i got one for free when i bought a 7mgte from a guy for $100. Bad idea, but i can change a HG on a 7MGE in 4 hours, so if it blows im ready. Go for a Metal head gasket, dont be cheap like me, only reason im cheap is cause im unemployed and in college. I didnt resurface...

    I remember a post awhile back saying that 7m water pumps never go out, and was curios to see if anyone else besides me have one fail? did a complete rebuild and car kept overheating after 10 minutes of driving, there was a leak from the water pump from the lowest bolt, i took it off and replaced...

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    I paid $370 for my rebuild, valves grinded and pressure tested for leaks, cam inspection, and shims and buckets replaced. Only shitty thing is that it still has a feint knocking sound :(. Make sure you find a reputable shop, not some machine shop that pays some young kid 9$ an hour to do it...
