Does this help?http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EC&P=3

What I've done before the timing belt is in place and after the oil pan is on, is turn the oil pump shaft with a drill with a couple quarts of oil in, it will prime the system. :)

So I guess that's what was wrong, the support bearing?

There is only 2 wires that go to the starter. The hot from the baterry and the one that goes to the selenoid. The grouped wires that look like they could go there are grounds attached to the manifold. I just posted that in the other NA/T thread.

I'd check the center support bearing also.

If it's only the #4 cap then I would really check it out, the bearings, the backs of the bearings, and the caps. If it spins a little better without the washers you still have a problem with the cap or bearing. Are they the standard or oversize washers? Do you have end play on the crank?

I believe you're suppost to put a "dab" of RTV in the corners of the front cam caps also. So it may be were it's leaking, if you skipped that instead of the seals themselves.

I think that is the last cap to be tightened. I asked in your other thread if you plastigauged the bearing clearences or checked the play in the thrust washers? And did you get standard size washers or oversize ones? The TSRM gives the thicknesses of...

The TSRM has the vac line routing, it's listed in the stickies.

Ahh come on now, don't you want to keep up with CRE, he seems to be blowing a lot of cars off the road :) ITB's is what I need to top off mine, but.....money is tight now days.

Maft-Pro would work :)

Check the TSRM, there is suppose to be some clearence in between the washers, don't recall what is is. But it should spin freely with those in. I assume you used assembly lube or at least oil to install the bearings and washers. Did you plastigauge your bearings? You have to torque the caps in a...

He's talking about the mains. The #4 cap if that's the one that has the thrush washers have grooves in them for the washers to set in. And yes metal shavings and the hard turning of a crank is NOT good. It should spin freely. Could be the bearings are not sized right. Did you at least...

Spacers? Are you talking about the thrust washers/spacers?

Lot of things could be wrong and yet it could be one simple little thing that could keep it from starting. If you are sure the timing is right, the cam gears on the marks, #1 on TDC, crank pulley on the mark, and the rotor pointing at #1 wire, I'd check all your grounds, trace your wires to make...

Yeah seen that but I'd figured I'd let them ramble on. You wouldn't really chrush your supra now would you JJ? I mean it's got to be like a member of the family by now, I know mine is after having it for 20 years :)

Way to go Tanya, nice clean car.

No it won't "level out", it may squeeze a little when you retorque it depends on how much you put there. I'd make sure were it's coming from like cuel suggested get some dye and check.

You can also log your runs with a laptop and tune accordingly. Very happy with mine and have just started to get into all of the things you can do with it.
