the large hex plug in the bottom of the spark plug valley seals the coolant passages. the only thing I can think of is that it's leaking, and those should not have been touched when the motor was rebuilt

dollar vs dollar, the Supra is WAY cheaper. So technically the Supra owner won automatically haha

Very nice Rich. I went to insert my CPS into the head yesterday and it wouldn't go in smoothly. Tried to gently coax it in with the aid of lots of lube and the screw that holds it in place. Heard a loud "SNAP". I think I may have snapped the shaft. Now looking for a CPS in good condition. I...

Is that a Kaminari pedestal spoiler and S2 dual exhaust? Either way. Sweetttttttt car

Kenosha eh? Nice. I'm right across the border in the Beach Park/Zion area. What color is your car, out of curiosity? Summer of 09 I saw a black turbo 89+ driving north on Greenbay Rd. Clean ass car. Dunno if it was you or not, but the 90 and turbo thing fits. Haha I was in my red car at...

Rings may, but it would raise crankcase pressure more so than it would oil pressure. Engine wear is the primary reason for loss of oil pressure. Too much gap between the gear teeth in the oil pump. loose crank/thrust/rod bearing clearances, worn cams, etc. Also low oil level. How many miles...

just rods from what I remember

no I didn't. I could if I wanted to within the next few days though. I have them all in a box still.

no problem. you can see the condition of some of the bearings, how rough and messed up they were. I spun a few bearings

The "crap" on the bottom... the copper stuff. That's bearing material haha

Update! I finished up most of my oil cooler lines and am finally finishing the CPS rebuild. I just need to peen the pin that holds the gear in place. I also picked up a turbo for my future plans. It's a Holset HX40G, 8 blade compressor (minor), bearing cartridge is oil only. Anti-surge...

Bump it to the top! I have a bunch of misc parts laying around. The only thing not for sale is the cylinder head. Engine block Knock sensor Valvetrain parts if anyone wants stock valves/springs/retainers/seats/shims Distributor NGK N/A spark plug wires Timing covers (lower front/rear, upper...

yeahhhhhhh bout that haha. It's ~6 hours to and ~6 hours from. Gas is expensive and my daily gets shit for gas mileage hahaha. Once the Supra is up and running, though, I will get better gas mileage. Imagine that. Boost is better on gas xD

shit I wish I was closer to yall I'd ride out for the hell of it haha

yeah but there are no pics of the turbo so how the HELL are we supposed to just flat out believe it's a STOCK CT26 when that's an insane number for a STOCK turbo?

I'm sorry for your pockets. That's why I laughed >.<

damn. I feel young now. LOL You're daughter has some skill sir. I see potential art school in the future? haha

:(

Yeah I know, Wilwood proportioning valve through ARZ is around 130 iirc. Cheap insurance :)

Good point My car is factory non-ABS. I need the rear kit or else the brake balance will be drastically different and also quite dangerous. The front brakes will overpower the rears and the tail can kick out. I've had that happen on the street when I first bought my car in 08. The rear...
