THanks guys, Im gonnna go for that MHG while Im doing all this. Excellent theres a Harbor Freight in houston not far from me, I will check them out. Champions Toyota is also local for me, Ill call them.

Cars dead as of right now. I was gonna pull the engine WITH the W58 on it, then while its out and after it comes back to me rebuilt, put the R154 on it, then reinstall to the car...

Im rebuilding the N/A motor for a bigger cost than I anticipated b4. Ive only had this car 6 months, I didnt do all that shit in 6 months alone. The wet coolant u see leaked in there when I took off the head bc I took off the intake manifold halfway so coolant leaked out of its coolant ports...

I have an NA with a W58 5-Speed Tranny, and I have an R154 Tranny that was waiting for my GTE swap. Well Im pulling my engine, rebuilding it top to bottom, should I put in the R154 too while its out? I ahve no idea how many miles are on it or the abuse it endured, what ya think? I was told its...

fucking automatic.... ruined, all ruined

You sound like me, people could mistake me for anything, when they hear heavy ass shit comin from my car they are surprised.

Forgot to mention when its fixed I wont do that again... until I get my GTE :evil2:

thought my engine was sound. Do what I did... Youre scared of it messing up from redline and such, might be worth just seeing what she really is capable of... before she blows up hahaha (not to scare you Im being serious) I got rod knock a day after a race with some punk ass kid in a v8. I ran...

OOoo, a checmical used in place of high end tools to measure clearance and shit? Bad ass, I was worried about this costing me an arm and a leg for the tools.

Scratch clevites out of my rebuild. Im about to fix my Rodknock in the next month. Whats plastigauge anyways? Sorry to hear about the car bro, try a 1jz engine in there... might work better for you. This reminds me to ask, can a MINOR rod knock come and go and be confused with misfire by any...

anyone? Am I off to a good start here, anything I missed?

agreed! I LOVE that song. I found it bc me and my group of friends called ourselves hybrid back in HS. We searched for that on Napster, found finished symphony

Checked them, tons of stuff coming from them, they rock from what I see so far. If they deliver good products, they ROCK. WOW Overnight Autoparts looks great too. That stock piston set for $201 WITH rings, man thats awesome. I can find the rods on here, incase I need to replace mine.

No I know man, its all good. But, Im going for it... I just want all the help I can get. :evil2: Well, I found rings for $50, havent found pistons that cheap, wanna point me to those? I found Main Bearings, Rod Bearings and Thrust washers for $80 total. Found a $200 oil pump too. Im doing...

Its the cost, not the hardness LOL. Im a little worrid about the work actually. But the hardest part is getting the money to do all of this. I need like a solid $1300... hard to save up for with me.

Yeah, I was hoping for it to be that. Thanks a ton for the information. Ill keep everyone posted, I posted a thread on the parts Im gonna need to buy so far.

If you have been keeping up with me on my problem, then check this out and tell me anything I missed. These are items Im gonna need, and while Im down there, gonna replace anyways. These are the things I wish to purchase, the help I need with certain items will have a * instead of a price, I...

Steve, Lou thank you so much. You are right, favors are not unnoticed by me or do they go unreturned. Im gonna fix this car, drive it, save $3000 and buy a civic to drive as a DD and build this as a weekend car. Ive already put together a course of action, Im getting the equipment and everyone...

Uhh, dont know, as long as your in there doing it, replace them all. Clevites for Main and rod bearings (all of them) and thrust washers is only $80 online to order dude. It never said anything about specific part numbers. Dealerships are raperships, they will fuck you without the lube with as...

I read that post before when it started. I PM'd them to ask some questions. Look I know Ive seemed frantic, this is all just looking like a heavy load. I really can handle it I just have to wait another month or 2 before I can afford this. I just found out last night my g/f ran us a $400...
