Thanks for the input. I'm going to keep stock boost so I'm hoping I wont have any issues.

Sorry for repeating this question if it was asked before, but I could not find an answer in my search. So... I know a MHG is the recommend way to go by most, but my particular use of the car does not warrant all the effort of having the block decked. My plan is to use a fel-pro composite HG...

Well, pulled the plugs and I can see coolant in the #6 cylinder...BHG. Motor was rebuilt before I bought it. Guessing it was not torqued to the higher spec. Not sure why else it would have blown unless the head/block is warped. Thanks again to everyone for the advice.

Thanks for all the help and support! It's great to have experienced guys to talk to about this. It almost makes trial and error a thing of the past. I will tackle it soon.

Thanks for the help. I'm still learning how to do some of these things. I did get better results on Google when I put "engine block test". I will pick one up and post the results. -Google-Disabled

Nothing specific came up Houdini. If you don't want to help, don't answer the thread.

Hvyman, Could you explain the block test to me or point me to a good thread? Thanks for the help!

I just wanted to verify that the only reason coolant would be pushed into the reservoir would be a BHG, correct? It's not overheating, but when it gets to normal operation temp, it is pushing out coolant. I've read some other threads and it seems that a BHG is the reason....Sucks because I just...

Silver Mk3, It took me about two days. I took my time taking everything apart and putting it back together. With the tools that I used, the seal replacement part took me about and hour. It goes quick after the first couple you do. I have a little experience. I did valve seals on a chevy 350 (a...

It's a JM Big Wheel (48.3mm ind/67.9 mm exd).

Just did a valve stem seal replacement on my 7MGTE. Thank you Adam Berry! His directions to complete the job were outstanding! Here is the link: http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=5 I did spend a little more money ($135) on tools and it made the job quite simple! Here is the...

Thanks.

More worried about installation.... Just read something about timing it like a normal car with a distributor. Is that all I have to do? With my Buick T-type, had to adjust it by reading voltage.

I'm currently trying to replace my valve stem seals and have to remove the Cam Position Sensor to do so. I can't find any info in my manual or in previous posts to explain how this is done. If I remove it, does it have to be re-clocked some how? The motor will be at TDC and I believe there is a...

Thanks for the advice. I ordered some things to piece something together from www.siliconeintakes.com. Since my old hose is garbage, I had to order enough to cover the length of the old hose. Here is what I ordered incase someone else ever has the same issues: 1 x Silicone Reducer, 45° bend -...

The stock one is just a rubber hose. I did rig up an adapter, but since the compressor housing is bigger than the hose, the out side edge of the hose is in the air stream and provides a surface for the air to push the hose right off. I would like to get a pipe made. I have seen full kits for...

First off, thanks for taking the time to at my post. I have an 87 MK3 that I put a different turbo on. This turbo has a compressor housing that has an 2 1/2" outlet to the intercooler. The original hose is a 2" that will not fit and is in bad condition anyways. I rigged up an adapter with...
