So since the compression jumped after oil you would say that it is the rings not sealing properly, meaning new rings would hopefully solve my compression issues? I'm thinking of a re-main kit, that includes rings, all bearings, and full gasket kit. After machining of course. Is there anything...

I didn't really read past the first couple of posts on that thread. Thinking about it, oil on top of the piston would have no where to go besides up the tester, so could I have fouled my tester by the 6th cylinder? I literally have changed nothing about it from the past test where it read 144...

Now doing the compression test as I read in the previously posted thread, I am having serious problems with cylinder #6. I took all the spark plugs out, took compression as is, using 8 cranks now instead of the two or three used before, and then added a little engine oil to the spark plug holes...

Just found this thread so I'l try this way and report back. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?585759-What-is-stock-compression-on-7mgte

Probably could've done for more amount of cranks seemed to still be rising when we had set a constant crank number. Should I do the test again?

Compression test was done results were : 130,135,131,142,155,144

I want to do the rings and gaskets and get the block checked but everyone I'm working with including my boss do not touch the bottom end so I was doubting myself. I have enough money set aside for this car that I could very do it but everyone is saying that once I open it up it will tack on much...

I think I am going to keep the bottom end the way it is for now, and retorque the head with ARP bolts to correct spec. Also in regards to the 57 trim turbo, DM sells one new for about the same price as it will cost to rebuild from Albert. So any opinions on this would be appreciated. New or...

But metal head gasket or stock?

Thank you supraguy, any suggestions on brand or seller? And what about the manifold and turbo issues? Should I upgrade the ct26 and manifold? Do any of the new manifolds retain stock down pipe locations?

So I've searched and the verdict for a stock rebuild kit is to build your own, or the ones off of eBay etc. I am only getting the block decked and ARP Studs with a MHG, I wasn't planning on boring or honing anything unless its necessary. What, in your opinion, would be the bare minimum parts for...

Wish I saw this before I bought a used harness :icon_redf

Yeah I would rather get the pre 89 ecu and harness for a piece of mind even if it makes the build only a little big easier, and sc61, I have been lookin around the for sale but mostly all I've found we're missing pieces, frayed here and there; is yours complete? PM me on a price

Well the previous owner didn't know much about the swap. He thought it was all correct as far as he knew, but like I said I think the engine is a different year to the harness because the CSI does not match up, and I can't seem to find a home for many of the connectors. I would much rather start...

Thanks for the fast response. Would you recommend buying a new harness and ecu for $1000 or getting an entire parts car for $300 that cranks but doesn't run. Searched and might be the grounds.

Okay, so this is my first post on the forum, I've been searching for a few days on the issues I've been having. To start off, I bought this car from a guy in the army who didn't have time to finish the swap from the original 7mge to a 7mgte. Supposedly the engine has only about 90k miles on it...
