Okay. Today I was able to get around to pulling the 7M out but I didn't take any pictures. Kidding... Ready to take out. Rear end up on stands. Insert hoist here: So um... I needed another...

Thanks man! Pulling the 7M today. Well hopefully. There isn't much of the day left but I don't have too much left. Unbolt the AC comp. Unbolt the PS pump. Undo various grounds around the engine. ETC. The shifter and DS are out. Trans fluid drained, coolant drained, oil drained, radiator...

I haven't really been up to much aside from cleaning and painting. I actually cleaned the oil pan instead of just cleaning up parts of it. I'll get finished pictures up tomorrow hopefully. So I cleaned: Oil Pan Cam Gears Valve Covers Lexus AFM I painted: (Both flat black) Upper timing cover...

When in the fall is it? I go to school in Indiana and I'm renting a house up there this year so I'll need to leave around the 22nd to go up there and get settled in. Okay cool I just wanted to make sure. What about the VSVs underneath the 7M intake manifold? Just make sure they're plugged in...

Thanks man! Haha yeah pictures of the dog just seemed fitting at the time. I'm in Arlington, Texas. Not sure how long of a drive it is away from a fellow 2JZ-GE-T MKIII. Are you on 7M ECU and harness? I was thinking about the rest of the stuff I can do while the block is in the machine...

Okay some pictures just so show some damaged bearing action. Not spun but they do look like they might have been starved for oil at one point in time. Here they are: Only thing that kind of sucks, but not really lol, is I did a lot of work cleaning up the deck which I didn't...

***Taking a few steps back to do a stock rebuild*** -Nick-

lppro - Thanks! Hopefully this will turn out well... Rennant - I meant the inside of the main section of the pan. (gasket surface as well) however the pick up cover part of the pan was pretty damn clean. Should have seen it before... Thanks! -Nick-

Okay so today was a productive day. I didn't finish all that I wanted to today but I'm still pretty satisfied. Today: Oil train flange drilled, tapped and mounted. Both pans cleaned like crazy (one had to have a dent beaten out) and RTVed. New Motor Mounts mounted. Union bolt purchased...

DETONATION666 - I bought their T-61 Turbo Kit off of Club NA-T. Mark is a great guy and more than willing to help you out. The intercooler pipes/kit is sold separately. So far I'm pleased however I haven't put any of the goodies on my car yet I'm sure they'll do alright. -Nick-

Cleaned up the pistons and took off the crank pulley. Pics: -Nick-

So I was cleaning up the pistons today with this awesome little scrubber bit for a drill. Just about to finish #5 and it breaks... Figures lol. The first 1-4 looks great! I'll get pictures up soon. Working on getting the crank bolt loose later today. Going to try bolting the starter up with...

I had a question, as you can see in some of the pictures I have an Unorthodox Racing pulley on the crank. I was sternly advised to remove it and purchase a stock pulley due to there being no dampener. I was told that its mostly used on drag cars to go one pass down the track at a time. So...

Fletch124 - I got it from a local guy who bought it to use in his 240SX but he changed his mind and went 2JZ-GTE. Scott - So any kind of degreaser and a brush? Like a scotch bright pad or something? Thanks! -Nick-

Okay today I removed the head and I had a few questions that I'll type above the picture in question. Cam gears removed and intake camshaft taken out. One more picture of the work station. Here's the head. Now there is a shit ton of what I think is carbon build up on top of the...

Thanks man! I'm Nick I've talked to you a couple times on the phone and through email a couple times. -Nick-

Okay last few until next time: I swear he's not cross eyed. I had to... What the hell is that in the exhaust manifold runner? Photoshoot at the lake. Thanks! -Nick-

Okay cool. Anyone else have experience with the full face DXD? Thanks! -Nick-

I'd like to get one but I cant decide on a SouthBend OFE or DXD-B. I'd really like to stay with a full face rather than a 6 puck. Would I be sacrificing any kind of performance/grip with a full face rather than 6 puck. Opinions would be awesome! I was reading up a little bit here and there on...
