I find that if I crunch it up really tight and cram it into my trash can, another one magically appears at my door, held by the UPS guy, wrapped in plastic and packed inside a cardboard box with packing peanuts. There's paper in there too, that says something about being shipped from McCords...

Personally, I use the hard break in method. I've torn down many engines that I 'abused' this way, and I'm very happy with the wear - or lack of it. The only time engines treated like this lose compression appears to be when I melt / crack / break the pistons. Which, I should point out, I have...

Block would have to be in pretty sad shape to leak on all those cylinders, especially without any pressure other than gravity. All the head bolts were still tight when you pulled it?

Some of the composite gaskets are better... IMO, for the application you are talking about, the difference between a FelPro and a Toyota won't be a factor.

Careful with the wolves. I used to know a guy who raised and crossbred wolves, and there were a *LOT* of problems there - ones that you wouldn't expect. Like the Police dog that picked up the scent of wolf on him and attacked in the middle of a chase. Beating down a German Shepard police dog...

I agree. IMO, I don't own anything that's more valuable than a human life. If someone breaks in because they want my big screen television, they can have it. However... if they threaten my family or friends, there is no hesitation whatsoever, they are done.

Always? ;)

For those goals, I'd look for someone here selling the FelPro from their kit because they went MHG. Should be able to pick one up cheap.

BiTD, I didn't know squat about cars or engines other than how to change the oil and fill the tank. Unlike the vast majority of guys, I didn't learn to wrench until I was nearly 30. Too busy learning other stuff at the time.

No.

That looks like the Suprasport one. http://www.suprasport.com/Quick-Short-Sport-Shifter-V3_p_176.html

In Canada, you can only get away with it when you can prove in court afterwards that you feared for your family's safety... which is some pretty broad territory. My personal method has always been to ensure the police aren't involved. Criminals are rarely genius level folks - and the ones that...

Personally, for up close and personal, I'll take a semi auto shotgun over a pistol any day.

Yup, the rollpin is fine, mine has been working perfectly for years now.

That's a brace. This is where we need the extra support, despite all the strut tower bars that you see all the time.

Agreed... I forgot to plug in the connector to the rack after one of my rebuilds. Instant steering a la 1950.

Interesting... so the voltage signal never goes to zero? Or does it drop even more when speeds continue to rise?

Well, worst case you can drive it without the PPS. It's a bit of a pain when parking, but it's fine at speed. This page may help you: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=87

PS: A picture with the AFM in that location does not mean the car runs well... or, for that matter, runs at all.
