^^^ Funny stuff....but it's not tech. Get some tech in here quick, before it all falls apart! :runaway: Please? :wavey: j/k...well kind of

It's a lot cheaper to fab them up if you have the right tools. An abrasive chop saw and a basic welding setup is all you need (or access to the tools). A few 180 degree bends from JC (or similar), a few couplers, good clamps, and you're set. If you're not into that, then yeah, hit up one...

:yelrotflm

Totally sounds like you popped a hose. You might have blown a hole in one or it just slipped off the coupler. Is the smoke black?

My understanding of ring seating is that the bore needs to 'adjust' to the rings more than the rings 'adjust' to the bore. I could be wrong though.

:umno: If you pull the pistons you should get new rings. New rings will not seat if you don't hone the cyls. With new bearings you want to get the rods resized. The rods need to be resized to match up with your crank journal diameters and bearing thickness. Machine work is pretty damn...

Actually they do. Not much but they do and there is a spec for it in the tsrm. Your compression won't change too much with the head and block getting resurfaced. You should be fine at 10-12 psi especially with the MHG....unless you have serious fuel delivery issues.

The biggest obstacle is the high tension cables...what was your solution there?

Please don't type the way you speak. It sucketh. ;) It could be air in your system, bad thermo, and possibly BHG. Three fourths on your guage sounds pretty high too.

Yeah, the turbo would be something to check but your symptoms don't definitively point to it...I too am suffering from problems with a turbo that was "rebuilt 3000 miles ago" with "no shaft play whatsoever" and "solid" so I understand your concern there. If you can, gather more detailed...

If it's turbo oil seals I would defer to a reputable turbo shop. Do some research for that. I've seen a lot of good feedback for PT, Performance Techniques. MDC also does good rebuilds, from what I've seen.

If you're really skeptical about the valve stem seals and don't want to pull the head to check, try pulling the intake manifold and looking into the ports. It's still a bit of work but you would see if your valve stem seals were bad. If they weren't then you didn't have to pull the head and...

It really is just a photochop that someone spent a decent amount of time on who takes pride in their work and felt the need to show off. IMO

Yeah, but how does that prove anything about the wheels being made of that? Just to make tiny little samples takes a lot of process and is extremely costly. Look at you last link a little more closely...notice it says the samples are "Bulk". There is no way those are any kind of alumina...

Hearsay. I did a good amount of googling and only found the same two images and zero info. Give me some solid info on those wheels like cost, manufacturing process, actual materials, etc. I'll bring down the :bsflag: when we see some solid information. If those images are undoctored...

I'm thinking BS... ...a sizeable pile of it.

Motion seconded.... ...the Ayes have it.

Exactly! There are even a few ordained Supra ministers here who spread the truth of the sacred text. :bowdown: :biglaugh:

I'm not saying they're useful per se, but I don't think they warrant iron fisted lock downs. Just let them quietly slide down the list into oblivion, like they usually do.

It's a good thing that you aren't a mod then. If you were, there would be no new discussion, just a bunch of old posts to search through since just about everything has been discussed and/or solved before. Sure it's good to search before asking and I strongly encourage that but I don't think...
