How much boost and what fuel you running?

The clevites are reboxed ndc bearings which is a good quality bearing I would stick with those there a proven high hp bearing. Acl bearings are quality if I was building a 2j thats the bearing to use but the 7m version are reboxed not true Acl and Ive been told that the quality is not there...

Update Did you fire it up?

I would not put that head on that block you need to slow done and get that block cleaned or this will turn into another I hate 7m going 2j thread this why so many people have problems with their 7m. you can see old gasket material still on the block do yourself a favor take your time it's a lot...

Actually it's the opposite with head bolts you can have a false torque reading from having crap in threads of the block with studs you can just clean the hole with compressed air and verify your studs are going in all the way and you'll be fine people have a tendency to make things a bigger deal...

A tap will slightly enlarge the hole even using the exact size tap Google thread chaser I got mine from snap on. Some guys will say a tap is fine but do a test yourself before and after a tap you will feel the stud has more play when threaded in.

You should be using a thread chaser not a tap

I've been running es bushings for about 8 years bushing still look new no signs of movement. That video shows a supra with a subframe that's in horrible shape besides the rust holes look at the gaps between the frame and the bushing ends they are not that wide which would allow movement in the...

Fuel pressure doesn't mean that your injectors are firing. Also your ignition is negative trigger so yes you may have power but no trigger. Verify that your coils are not firing just put a timing light to it also verify your grounds just behind your fuse block is your igniter ground check all...

When starting the car your timing shouldn't be nowhere near 27 degrees of timing at 150 rpm you don't need all that timing my car starts at 5 degrees of timing. Check the basics compression,fuel and spark also double check all your grounds.

Smack talking is good it gives you a little extra motivation!

Wishful thinking he probably doesn't want to be outdone by a 7m

Reality is speed cost money doesn't matter what car you start with if your broke you should avoid modifying cars period!! A stock 7mgte used as a daily driver with a good gasket and torque is a very reliable engine. How many cars do you know of that is 25 plus years old and you start beating on...

First thing you should do when your car starts to overheat is turn your heater on high if your temps come back down that points to your radiator being clogged or debris blocking the front of radiator stopping air flow. You said you where driving up the hill so your fans shouldn't be the problem...

Good job on making that kind of power it goes to show that for 99% of the people on this forum a 7m is all the motor they will ever need. Maybe they need to quit blaming the 7m for their lack of engine building skills. The 2j is a monster of a motor but most mk4 owners pay professionals to build...
