you guys think $450 is a good deal for a rebuilt R154? he says its got around 1000 miles on it and everything worked fine. had some local shop install everything for him i guess. he doesnt know what all was replaced though. he said he bought a rebuild kit and took it to this place and they...

i should be there in the old car. havent cranked it up with the new HG yet though, waiting on injector clips. i will try and meet ya off 56th tom. im gonna get some other guys to roll along if they can.

dang man its been awhile, i didnt know you moved to boise. of course i didnt know you got a 94 tt either. thats sweet! well i wish i could say i could come but, thats a far drive, plus i have no running car at the moment. hope everything is going well though. later-

yeah, i'll ask my friend who goes down there and see what he says.

i have been looking for the same thing. i know of a nissan shop that has one he lets ppl use. i just havent went by there yet. i am not sure how he would feel about letting a "toyota" person use it lol.

yeah i wanted to come check out your motor before i left but i was on leave. when you get back i will. if i am still statioined here that is. i still havent made up my mind yet though. i need get a storage unit first though.

im not betraying my car. i might still keep it depending on funds. its just that i have wanted an SC for a long time. if i am gonna drop alota money into a car, i think i would rather do it to an SC. i still love my supra thats why i am having trouble deciding. everything i put down on paper, in...

well i have been away from this thread for awhile. i blew a HG on my supra about a month ago. great timing i know! i have been searching for a storage unit to work on it at since i have no garage. since it needs a new HG and i am doing rod bearings while i am doing it, i am prob keeping the 7m...

join the club lol. i thought you just put a new HG on?

lookin nice, wish i could say i was that far along. i like the key chain though, have no clue where that came from. :biglaugh:

no those are all tight, its just the crappy machine screws that hold the valve covers on. oh well though. not putting any more money in it than i have to.

yeah there were about 4 bolts that were loose. i broke torque on all them. hit everything to 58. then 65 then 70. i got it all done last night and started it up. it did sound like it was running better. well i didnt leave it run long, idiot me had the alternator off earlier. well when i put it...

so it will be safe to go through and hit everything to 65, then back through to 70? i am just trying to use this step as a band aid to get me a couple weeks. hopefully!

ok i just got done doing a retorque to 58 ft lbs. there were 4 bolts that i got a lil bit on. maybe like an 8th of a turn. i dunno if that is enough to worry about. is it going to hurt if i torque them down more? like maybe to 65?

well i will check out the torque this weekend unless its real cold. the only reason i am gonna need to get it fixed is b/c i live on base. i cant do a motor swap here or anything. i am looking for a storage unit to do it in. so in order for me to get it there it will have to be drivable. plus i...

well this sucks, looks like i got a HG job ahead of me this weekend! shouldnt go too bad though. might as well put a Cometic while i am doing it. what ya guys think. 1.3mm or 2.0mm thick?

SOB! its official, if the HG wasnt bad before it is now. i limped it back home today. i was at a light and the white smoke started flowin out back. i got to a parking lot and let it cool down. i started it back up and the smoke quit but i limped it back home. so much for getting my inspection...

started it up last night and couldnt get it to do anything guys. took it for a drive and still nothing, everything was normal. i am gonna check the head bolts. seems like the only times i have prob is when i dont let it fully warm up before driving. seems to me like a leaking HG but if i let the...

yeah i'll check it out tonight.

ok heres what happened. last night i went out to leave my friends house and the car warmed up. when i started going down the road my temp started going up. so i pulled over thinking it was my thermostat sticking. there was some steam coming out of the overflow bottle. i hit the thermo housing a...
