Damn you must have been TOASTED! I see at least 12 beers there :biglaugh:

I'd watch out for a pretty color, no obvious abuse or damage, and visualize the motor on your garage floor with the pan and head off. If that doesn't frighten you then you're in good shape

A vid of the knock would be nice.

Ahhh well, they were :love: tho. Just goes to show keep your eyes peeled and a sharp axe :aigo: possibly quoted from Lord of the rings but irrelevant! :biglaugh:

I clean engine components with Kerosene thanks to Zum's recommendation a while back, Gunk Engine Brite for heavy heavy buildup on power-train/sludge caked areas and finally touch up the bay with Purple Power mixed with water in a spray bottle. The Purple Power surprisingly didn't take off any...

Napa sells them for about $60 last time I checked.

Mine creeped to the timing plate a couple of months ago and started to shred itself after 4 quartermile runs.. But a sheared bolt had broke the crank pulley guide clean off and I know I didn't put it on as straight as it could be. This kind of thing has got to be really annoying.. Hope you...

Well I'm not done yet my block is back at the machine shop but it already has changed quite a bit since I got it.

oh man I dropped off my pistons at 3 today hopefully they didn't get to boring yet:aigo:

Could any less than 36 ft/lbs do the trick IJ, or does it have to be done up that tight? In regards with your experience with the #1 cyl wall warping.

The hg material didn't "shelf" over the bore?

I've messed with mine before and wondered the same thing...

It's been a crazy year, some high times and some lows, a lot of time stuck in the middle. I feel like resolutions are lame because they only last a week but then again that week feels so FRESH :biglaugh: my resolution is to work hard at what I believe in and let loose when things are...

I wasn't advertising not to use cometic, I was just saying the total was $252 for a gasket I wanted custom made and they gave me a premade one that was not as close as I wanted it to be. $212 for the gasket, $40 for shipping. The quality is perfect from what I hear 20+ psi easily along with...

My cometic was $252 from cometic and I ordered from them. I filled out an order form as well with my dimensions and they answered me with "what they had" and I just chose what the closest dimension was. Don't remember what that was but they totally didn't custom make it for me like I wanted em...

I really appreciate it zum but the difference between http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-92-3-0L-Toyota-Supra-Turbo-7MGTE-Pistons-w-Rings_W0QQitemZ260498395324QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ca6ea10bc#ht_3555wt_834 and...

I just dropped my block off and he said they are a acl distributor or supplier w/e. I asked how good they were and he replied with acl has a race series bearings. I'll find out tomorrow what needs to be done. I think I'm just gonna borrow some extra cash and go clevittes.

I actually didn't plastigage after I just pulled it because I figured I'd had enough and it was time for a full rebuild and get everything tip top.. I have the pistons and rods out now. :icon_conf My goal is to get to 400 actually, but lex afm/inj, and a standalone are ways away. I think...

Mine reads 2 across the board like yours. What do you think of ACL's? They come with the kit I want to buy in OP and I just specify what sizes I need in the order.
