What am Sky??

[91blackeye]

What is this wire? Can't seem to make any sense of it. It is a yellow wire with a black stripe. looks like it went somewhere behind the cam cover....

any input would be greatly appreciated.

and by "this wire" I mean the one that doesn't have anything attached to it....

that be oil pressure sender wire.

 

[thevork]

^ Correct

 

[91blackeye]

Well........I want that to be working....doesn't need to work to make the car run...but...oil is only a little important....

any ideas on where the wire clips up to? it looked like it was under the cylinder head, behind the cam cover...but I would really love to not have to take the head off. I just need to put in new rods....got new pistons as well....eagle/wiseco, .20 over. going to have the block bored a wee bit...

how does fix?

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

lol, oh god... You have to remove the head.. And if the motor spun rod bearings then the block needs to be cleaned, decked and checked for damage on the cyl walls.. Needs a new crank shaft or needs to be ground and cleaned pulling the plugs out in it and used undersized bearings.. Head needs to be decked, new head gasket. You can not pull the rods and pistons out through the bottom.. They have to be removed from the top.. And since it spun a bearing you have metal contaminates all throughout the engine.. Why am I even wasting my time..

 

[91blackeye]

I don't think any bearings went out, I have been saying this....there has been absolutely ZERO metal shavings in any and all liquids I have drained from the car. None I could see with my eyes, a light, nor a magnet I drug across the bottom of the container I drained them into. It is only one bad connecting rod.

Of course you do realise Bearing Material is Non Ferrous..... i.e. NOT magnetic.... :nono:

IJ, with my clevittes I was able to pick the bearing up with a magnet, if the damage is severe enough I would think it would be likely that a magnet could attract some material, either from the bearing or the crank journal.

 

[91blackeye]

Well, magnetic or not, I did also just sift through the oil from the pan when I drained it with my bear hands. The only bits of metal anything was a few itty bitty clumps of rust from the radiator from the previous owner not using distilled water and slightly rusting the thermostat....


s0o0o0o..... yeah.

 

[jetjock]

Odd, your hands look normal to me...

 

[91blackeye]

lol, what about my hands??? stalker.

 

[bioskyline]

it dont look like yolu have BEAR hands, but you do have BARE hands.

the oil pressue sender is by the the oil filter, below number 2 exasut port by the turbo.

if your having the block bored over the head has to come off. and its much much easier to install new pistons from the top down, rather than the bottom up.

 

[whitemike]

You said bear not bare.

 

[91blackeye]

oh. lol. Sorry. There is a reason I'm in dummy English. haha.

 

[jetjock]

Just playin' with you is all.

Btw what's with the "what am sky" thing? Is that an RvB reference? Cuz if it's not I'm sort of, you know, qualified to 'splain it if you'd like...

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

So what was the car doing? Knocking?

 

[xzeror]

Every time he posts i feel as if he is trolling...

 

[Flateric]

Compare the wiring with one of you many other supra's dude, it so easy. Park all three of them side by side and check them against each other. It would be so easy that way. For a guy that has owned so many supra's this seems to be obvious. Why not put the 2jz in here that you were going to use back when you were a girl.
