Does anybody know how much a 7mge with the intake on weigh? I am fixing to buy an engine stand for the old 7M sitting in the back of my truck and the cheaper one is rated for 750lbs.

Just curious about something. Why is it a rod knock is common after a BHG? Mine is currently leaking so I don't drive it. I have not noticed any coolant in the oil yet. When I start the car it reaks of burning coolant, smokes, and then steams but does not overheat. Bottom end still sounds good...

How expensive are ARP. I've read in order to do studs you need to remove the engine. Well that ain't happening right away so can you get ARP bolts? When you retorque I guess you have to take the y-pipe and throttlebody off and cams out or can you do it without taking the cams out. Sorry to...

That was going to be my question. Can you reuse your stock headbolts and what do yall recommend I torque them too with a OEM HG?

Well none the less, it appears I will be needing a HG at least. Next question. Are Toyota brand HG better if you're going stock or can someone suggest better other than metal? Are ARP bolts a must and what are you gearheads torquing them to now? 7MGE bone stock. Sorry to be a pain, but when I...

Need some basic signs and symptoms of a leaking head gasket. Also, if it were leaking would you have white smoke as well as some steamy exhaust? No milky oil cap, just smokey and steamy upon first start up and check engine light comes on and no I haven't read the code yet, haven't been home long...

Forgot to ask. Does the check engine light come on usually when you have a leaking HG?

Are composites like original equipment? Sorry, hate to sound like a dumbass but I will probably be undertaking this task sooner rather than later. I stare at my engine and ask how in the hell am I going to do this. But if I can swap a 22R-E out of a 1985 Celica GT-S I guess I can do this. I'm...

Some of you say it took you day or so. I was under the impression when you take your head off you need to get it milled in case it might be warped. Is that not the case on all HG repairs? If so why?:icon_conf

What would the color of the coolant be if it were a BHG? I'm probably going to change the HG anyway so I won't have to worry about it. No milky engine cap.

I had them replace that before putting the engine in along with the front and rear seals and timing belt. I wanted a 160 degree thermo but could only get a 180 degree. Is that what most of you are running?

I just did the instrument cluster swap tonight and have not had it up on the highway yet. Recommedations for oil? Currently using QS 10W-40. Oh, and read where some people are putting more than five quarts in. What's the benefit?

Just swapped an engine so from what you say about the heater matrix I'm sure there's still some air in it. Was planning on doing a compression check since it's a used engine. What's normal psi for bone stock 7mge's?

On a bone STOCK 7MGE with around 170k miles, what would the STOCK oil pressure gauge typically read? I just swapped clusters because the gauge on my old one was bad and I'm now able to read pressure which at hot idle is between 0-20 psi and at about 3k rpm(revving not driving) is just a little...

I'm sure this has been discussed over and over but I did not feel like trying search for an answer since my mangina is aching tonight. When I accelerate or rev the engine I hear water behind the dash. I know it's going through the heater but how do I remedy this sound? I did read something on...

Or is it? Look what I found. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-TOYOTA-NON-TURBO-7MGE-SUPRA-CRESSIDA-ENGINE_W0QQitemZ250050017542QQihZ015QQcategoryZ33615QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hey Jeff, I've got a question regarding the Super Monitor. Can you swap a super monitor cluster into a car that didn't have it and it work, or does the car itself also come with some added electronics that you have to have?

Anybody got pics of a narrow body?
