Deeply noted. I do plan to do the works block decked with timing cover. Good tip on the head for the Stanpipe. Since I'm using cometic MLS gasket, but not adding power. Would you still recommend using arp studs instead of bolts? My original plan is to use arp head studs but use the factory...

While my engine block and internals are sitting in my storage waiting to go machine shop, while I wait I'm shopping around for parts. Should I go with composite head gasket or MLS? I plan on just doing a stock rebuild on this 7M-GE supra no power adders (stock horsepower) and factory red...

Gotcha. Seeing it in animation makes more sense now. Of course you can reuse bolts, because after checking clearances you would have to reuse bolts for final assembly. I have the official toyota 87 supra service manual and I have gendered at that page. I'm getting ahead of myself. The engine is...

The video I saw, the guy was using rods from a mustang and he measured using inside micrometer. Wasn't anything crazy it was just off by like a thousands of an inch or something in that parameter. It's reassuring to hear that I can reuse old bolts. I do indeed intend on using a plastiguage when...

Gotcha. Yeah I was watching this video where they compared stock rod bolts to arp and the rods did need to be resized with arp bolts. I just assumed the same for Main cap bolts. This is good information, it'll help with my build. Going GTE is nicer. Rather than na-t. Takes the guess work out...

Great. Looking for new oem bolts is tricky and using arp for main and rods will likely change clearances. Did something happen to the GE at 40k? Or did you just want more power?

Rebuilding my 1987 7M-GE auto due to blown head gasket of course. Gonna do the works; machine work on block and head if need be. Gonna get crank checked and polish, reusing connecting rods recondition, new bearings, new rings, etc. I'll be using ARP headstuds with factory washers as per previous...

Doing a stock rebuild on my 1987 7M-GE auto. New eagle forged rods, bearings etc. Which is better arp head bolts or arp head stud? Driftmotion is saying head studs are better than the head bolts. I just want to hear what you guys have to say. I'm not adding any power just a stock "boring" build...

Has anyone ever messed those aftermarket light weight aluminum pulley kits for 7M-GE?There's a variety of companies that sell them; driftmotion, non-stop tuning, etc. They have alternator, water pump, powertseering, and crank pulley. They come in cool colors and advertised saving rotational...

Great. yeah I did my research and both OEM part numbers matched. The 7M-GTE gets spoiled the most.

What type of radiator do you have? Stock copper or aluminum?

I'm rebuilding my 7M-GE Auto engine and not sure what coolant to use. I'm going to install a new stock radiator (if I can find one) or new aluminum. Along with silicone coolant hoses for longevity, OEM clutch fan and if need be a transmission cooler if I go aluminum. I've heard so many answers...

no

Great tip, that's the image I needed to see. Thanks

All great information. I plan on taking the engine out with the transmission attached. I attempted to remove the torque converter bolts from the flywheel but there is a gasket that is bolted between the engine and bell housing. And it looks like it goes all the way around, I could hardly get a...

Hello Everybody, I'm at the point of my journey where the 7M-GE is ready to come out, Harness, hoses, and any other lines are all disconnected. I'm working in a home garage so work space in tight and uncomfortable. Should I leave the transmission connected to the engine when removing it? The...

Hi everybody, I have a 1987 7M-GE Auto and I going to rebuild the engine with new internals and any kind of refresh that I have to do to it. Machined Block, Resurfaced head and polished crank, etc. I owned the car since August 2021 and since then just been doing research on where to buy new...
