    Crank Pulley and Timing Pulley

    Lol I went and tried THREE different kits. The last one (the lucky-charm looking one with the middle finger) somewhat worked. I ended up trying to bang it out with a hammer, and yes it chipped like mad. So then I took a huge crowbar and just pried the damn thing off. (I have a spare...

    Crank Pulley and Timing Pulley

    I just removed my crank bolt but I can't seem to shake the crank pulley off. I assumed it would just slip out. (I had an integra before) So now I'm stuck; I consulted the TSRM and it notes that you should use a special tool to remove both the crank pulley and timing pulley. So I'm asking if...

    yep, of course. I'm getting arp studs and a metal head gasket. I'm going to get the head milled and honed, have a valve job done and stuff. Trying to make a checklist. So hopefully I'll never go through the bhg stress =D

    yeah Kevin for sure. I'd like a shade. Does it come with all the necessary hardware? About how much do you run one for? But yes; I'd like one.

    Possible Bad Piston Rings??

    Okay so I'm buying a supra and it has some engine problems. I'm merely curious about what the problem might be. So far I ruled out the blown head gasket but my friend said it might be the piston rings. The problem is that the car right now has blue smoke and smoke is blowing out of the hole...

    Puff of Smoke if car sits for a while

    well the car is located in santa barbara of california... I'm not exactly sure what kind of climate it is over there. So far it seems like its the valve stem seals; I will try what some of you people said like...letting it idle for 15 minutes then pulling on 1st gear. I'm not sure if the jdm...

    Puff of Smoke if car sits for a while

    Okay so I'm actually looking to buy a supra and there is this problem with this supra I'm looking at. It is a 7m-gte and he said if the car sat for more than a week or so then it would create a lot of smoke when he starts it. After that initial start up, he can start it up everyday and it...
