What's happening fellow Supra enthusiasts? Alright, so I bought my 88' Supra Turbo back in Oct. 2013 and the only mod was Tokico blues in the rear. The handling balance is "off" in my Supra as the front is softer than the rear (so I stay in TEMS mode to even out the balance as much as possible)...
My Story: I had the same issue with my 7MGTE; oil leaking from the front of the motor. I replaced all seals; front main, oil pump drive and cam seals. I never knew which seal was leaking (because I just replaced all seals). Problem solved so far; did it about a month ago.
Also, as...
Installed my CXracing/Driftmotion exhaust yesterday. Currently, I'm in the process of replacing all my front seals (cam, oil pump drive and front main seals) so I can't start it up and hear just yet. Waiting on a crankshaft timing pulley part; hopefully, I can get it running next weekend.
Installed my CXracing/Driftmotion exhaust yesterday; before that I've been running a Driftmotion open downpipe since March and pissing off my neighbors. However, I flipped the mid-pipe with the resonator around toward the back today.
Unfortunately, I have not heard it...
Lol, damn, I should have mentioned that I did take out the 10mm bolts; just not shown there in the picture. But yea, I'll take a mallet to it later today. Thanks.
Alright, so today I was able to get to my cam seal however, I'm not sure how to get these from cam caps off; I'm worried I might damage something if I strike at it with a hammer.
Any suggestion of how to get this cam cap off so I can remove the oil seals?
Hmm (starter and breaker bar), that must be that trick I saw on this guru mechanic's YouTube video (Scotty Kilmer). Yea....I don't think I want to try that seeing as my starter has been slipping as well (needs maintenance too).
I guess I have to buy the "special tool" from Toyota then??
2 Questions: So the resistance 5th gear puts on the crank will keep it from rotating as I'm trying to loosen/torque down the front main crank bolt (195ftlb torque bolt)?? What about the cam gears?? Are there any tools (available in hardware stores) I can use to keep it in place as I...
Hmm, yea....uhh, don't mess with that.
Rather, I say you go with springs and shocks. I'm thinking of getting B&G springs (1.5" drop F and R) with Tokico shocks myself. Would love to get D2 coilovers but that's a bit out of my budget.
And so it is....I just made my decision and purchased a Cxracing/Driftmotion exhaust today! Hoping its quiet enough with the silencer in so I don't wake my neighbors as I'm pulling out for work early in the morning.
But on the flip side....I hope its DAMN loud at WOT! Anyway, thanks guys for...
Hey thanks. I did my valve/cam cover gaskets already back in March; also replaced the spark plugs but not for wires (they seemed OK).
Oil Pump Drive Seal: Yea, you're definitely right about that; didn't even think that this seal would be a problem. I just assumed it was the cam and front main...
What's happening fellow 7mgte folks! Alright, so now that my college semester is over I can tend to this oil leak on 7mgte. Just got my cam and front main seals in the mail from Driftmotion today. However, a mechanic told me that I need to loosen the camshaft in order to properly place the new...
