    translation from german family crest.

    thank you very much. I had a nearly impossible time useing a translation program because it's old school. From what I understand this crest is between 120 and 200+ years old.

    rough cost estimate for machining

    I just happen to do routing and estimation at a machine shop. I'll let you know tomarrow when I'm at work so I can get a good price on materials. But right off you're looking at least a few hundred dollars just in labor.

    O-Ringing 7 MGTE Block

    Usually we just use respirators and use lots of coolant when machining beryllium copper, whereas we can't machine pure beryllium because the risk is too high. From what I understand berilium by itself is a small particle that gets lodged in the lungs easily and causes Berylliosis. But when...

    O-Ringing 7 MGTE Block

    i was going off of my head, I don't actually have any reference material here at home. my bad. as for machining berillium copper, it dosen't have the same hazards as berillium. Something about the copper takes the danger of Berylliosis.

    O-Ringing 7 MGTE Block

    I'd be interested in pics also. The only reason why i find this interesting is that I know a couple of people with o-ringed v-8's and they're running 60psi though a massive supercharger setup.

    7M parts in 5M block (one crazy idea)

    yeah no kiddin, just have a sticker that says 5mgte and put it where the 7mgte sticker goes. Most people including smog shops seem to think supras are 4cyl. cars anyway. I even had one of the dmv people try to put my car down as a 2.5l 4cylinder when I was registering it.

    Hot start problem

    my car used to do this exact same thing. I never really figured out what the problem was. I just set up a relay that was wired directly to the ignition switch., and that was the end of it.
