Yes I can see why that would make sense, which is why I wanted to take them back to stock. So I am assuming there is no physical way to convert the one that I have @ 7/16 back to the stock (I think they were 10x1.25 - right?) Anyway so right now I have 1 at 7/16", two @ 11x1.25 and the remaining...

OK, did not mean to start an argument lol... So gaboonviper, you do not agree with being ok to go larger, what is your recommendation and/or experience? To enlarge holes, I would assume that I need to have machine shop do that, being cast material, but if I do them all 7/16" I do not need to...

As some reading this already know, I am doing a partial re-build on my 7mgte starting this weekend. Well I did a little work on this motor last spring just after buying it and just enough to get it on the road. It included but not limited to replacing the turbo with a used one off of a JDM motor...

Thanks Failure14 for listing link, I knew I had seen it before... I thought it was well written to help those looking for a good explanation of oil properties and what you need to know... I know after reading it, I run lighter oil than I used to depending on time of year Radiod - Thanks for...

Thanks for the input... probably hard to say without hearing, ticking to one is knocking to another lol... yea I have had some smaller motors (Kia Sportage) that even after adjusting to proper clearance still have a light ticking sound... that is all this sounds like, very light, but I can hear...

Oh by the way for others in my neck of the world - that is 4.3 psi ilde and 32.7 psi at 3k

From what I have read on this forum, that is not abnormal at all, a couple of factors are weight of oil being used and is that with a stock gauge, notorious for reading low, but I do not think those readings are low, they are higher than mine, but I run 5w20 oil. There is a link on here...

Yes very true, would not make sense to skip crank support.... Ok thanks for the chime in about valves, I am new to these motors (always been the typical small block GM motors) so I appreciate input as to what typical issues will or will not be found... In addition, I never did list that...

Thanks guys, my thoughts were leaning that way, so thanks for the confirmation. I am thinking once pulled apart I will just check all tolerances and look for damage. At minimum, will have head and block resurfaced to prep for MHG, clean up cylinder walls for new rings, polish crank, new rod...

I know there is much debate in regards to how much HP can you produce on a OEM HG, so I am going to plan to go to a MHG. I understand the reasons for needed to go to a MHG vs OEM running higher boost values and I understand why both head and block need to be resurfaced to utilize MHG. My...

Congrats on the buy... I know what waiting is like... I wanted one when I was in High School, which mine was manufacture when I was in the 10th grade... finally bought one just this winter and I love it! It is not a bad ride the way it is now, in a year I will probably soak another few thousand...

Thank you to all! - Very helpful in speeding up the process... As soon as I get my stuff unpacked... tools anyway (just moved) I will check into this issue further. Thanks Again :icon_smil

Yea I have the TRSM all printed off, I did not see that in TS area, but I will check again... But I am thinking it has to be in fuel injection somewhere... As it is running very well otherwise, idles smooth, acceleration is smooth, might be lacking power a little, but is does have 124k on the...

I know that can certainly be an issue, but I guess I was still on the fact that i did not remember it going that when I bought and drove home, but as you mention, in the process I did find some corroded wiring from the cam position sensor, could this cause an issue if it is not reporting...

Yea I just saw the irony in that one LOL... I've got a Jetta TDI diesel and a Dodge Cummins... hence gottadiesel which started as my username for forums on those sites... For the one confused... basically I shut key off and engine runs for anywhere between 2 seconds and 7 seconds before...

I have an issue with my 88 7m-gte. The engine runs-on after shut down (key is turned off) It does not sound like dieseling... issue with build up on pistons... I have had cars with that issue and it sounds rougher than what this is doing and from my experience, sounds like it wants to or does...

Thanks for the thoughts.... yeah I will plan to put a new CT26 on order. Thanks

Yeah, what I was afraid of... I might just have to replace other items first and put all back together then see what happens. Even if I have an issue, probably will not be yanking motor at this time anyway, so I might as well just run it till something major happens.... I have only put 100...

Can anyone tell me what I should expect to get when trying to read compression with the engine cold, as compared to operation temp. So you ask why? Well I already have numerous items removed, including turbo and ex manifold. Yeah I know I should have checked plugs 1st, but anyway so I pull...

In the process of doing some routine maintenance on a supra that I bought recently, I noticed damaged to the impeller/compressor fins... Has anyone seen this happen outside of FOD, as that is what it looks like (see pic below) It seems to spin clean and smooth on the shaft, but I plan to...
