Unless the belt is stretched, it can't really do that. The bottom cogged pulley needs to be aligned with the cams lined up. Unfortunately, Toyota thought the cogged pulley on the crank needed no timing mark. Did you have diagnostic pins jumped before putting a timing light on it? Also, look up...

Nah, Jetjock is the original gangster but that isn't what I meant by the G man.

You know the G man, the original gangster indicated he picked his up new in 1987.

If you can source the aluminum block 5.3 that will help with weight. Obviously. I wouldn't otherwise use it in a Supra. An LS1-LS3 is a better starting point.

I am neither noble nor heroic. For profit, and profit only.

No more so than any other engine when low on oil.

It needs to be repaired if it is broken. If you cannot do it correctly, find somebody that can. And not having the MIL illuminated (check engine light on) doesn't mean you don't have one of the many TCCS codes for open/short signal.

You are going to lose your car to California because of this. The automotive business has been dwindling for more than a decade. I came in at Toyota at a good time, during a big engine recall. But the business is not good, and will get worse. I have something for all to read, and he doesn't even...

The Lexus housing and 550 low impedance injectors don't cause a lean condition. You need to look elsewhere. Hope that helps.

It isn't an opinion. The taller gear is a heavier load and why the car does not accelerate as well, even with the heavier load. That little bit of more boost does not make up for it. This is why drag cars do not have tall gears to load the motor. Think it through before you put a taller gear in...

It depends on the trans and the engine as to which diff ratio I prefer. The stock 3.73 in mine is good enough, but would prefer closer to 3.5.

I would agree with the qualifier of looking like it did when Toyota built it. Yes, the seats are still second to none. Including an LS600, of which my car is faster.

Clutch height. The release point is the height. No. Americans don't buy manual transmission cars anymore, and the manual trans clutch is not serviced very often as a result. So I would have to think about it for a minute. Torque is a function of bore and stroke, including when it...

That isn't right. Is height adjustable? I hardly deal with clutches anymore because Americans are...Americans. Actually, it isn't that strange and makes sense. Sadly, we don't have the aftermarket support that the Mustang and Camaro community have.

With a lot of miles, it already has a lot of wear on the clutch packs, bands, and sprags. You should consider having it rebuilt professionally.

I mistype things all the time on the internet. I go back and look at something and think what the hell is that?

He meant 51, not 52.

It is "grade" not weight. Gravity has nothing to do with it. The W by 5 indicates winter.

Viscosity (resistance to flow) drops as temperature increases. This is why synthetic is used, as it is not affected as much. Make sure you have enough oil in the crankcase. You tried to push more oil through the same space, so pressure went up. 30w?

It has been a while but the ignitors that I saw fail didn't go out like you are describing. And that doesn't make it so either way. The car would not restart hot. Not to be confused with the FPU system. Corollas don't have one. The car would restart after cooling. Spark came back. And there was...
