I don't post here much but I thought I'd share some pictures of my car I took mostly today. Here is a list of everything I've done the past 12 months. I've been busy. What do you think? 1990 Grand National Black SP61 Turbo Supra Unabridged Modification List: Body: fresh Buick Grand...

These are great cars. I've owned one for 7 years now. Great daily driver. Watch out for overheating and cracked heads. TBI makes it not worth it to upgrade.

Any updates on the NSX headlights? Dennis

I just don't see how that could happen. Its inside the motor so there are only 2 things close to it...the bottom of the oil pan and the pickup tube.

I think i got it now. Thanks for the help. I'm taking it to the machine shop today. I'll see what he says. Dennis

Ok. I thought about this for the past few hours and its not making sense again. If my crank journals are slightly undersized because of the polishing and I use a standard line bore and standard bearings, I'm still going to end up with the same 0.07mm gap. I need something to make the gap 0.04mm...

I understand you now.

If I did it that way what size bearings would I use? oversize?

I am rebuilding my 7mgte for 600hp. When at the machine shop I had the crank polished. This crank was probably polished at least once in the past. I installed new main cap bearings in standard size. When I measure the clearance with the plastigage I'm getting a consistent 0.07-0.08mm clearance...
