    Wow this section is dead. Any other shooters here?

    Do you use the website armslist.com? You can select your state and private seller. There are quite a few GI models which are no longer produced by Springfield. They sometimes show up when you use the term mil-spec. And when they say GI, they mean it including sights. But that is not the purpose...

    Power steering problem need help

    You have a pumping problem. You can make sure it is not a rack problem by doing a pressure output test. If for some reason it has good output, then you know the restriction is in the rack. I assume all your checks listed in the OP are good.

    Wow this section is dead. Any other shooters here?

    Tapco 20 round SKS magazines are quite popular, despite not working in an SKS. I read many bad reviews and watched a few videos and saw not good things. I also decided it was nothing a dremel tool could not fix. That was mostly right. I have an original stock 1951 Soviet model. The stock...

    No injector pulse!!! update

    Let google that for you. This is to what the term refers. You could have a computer problem with out a processor problem. Even with the fail safes Toyota put in with the harness hookup.

    Have you heard the expression "garbage in, garbage out"? in regards to a computer?

    How to PROPERLY rebuild a 7mgte by KMP

    Absolutely. You already have a core unless you overheated the engine with a plugged radiator and low on coolant from old age leaks. I don't think so. The head and block being dissimilar metals is the real problem. Many manufactures do it and just try to control temps.

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    Or he has a hole in a piston. He could have also done the test wrong. He would not be the first.

    gm 4.8/5.3 swap info n help.

    Go with an aluminum block if you can. The extra displacement will change how it drives in a really good way, but I think you already know.

    How do i wire the ABS sensor to the aem v2 for speed signal?

    The output speed sensor on the R154 goes to the ABS computer, and that computer interprets the Hz signal to speed. Ask AEM. AEM is not calibrated for that signal. That is why the reading is so wrong. This assumes you have done what you said you did.

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    Since he provided nothing more than a run on sentence with a period or two he isn't going to get much more than a guess.

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    Even more importantly, if his cps is off one tooth, it will be like he lost compression. I am not sure how that can happen. What can happen is engine timing can jump a tooth much easier, then he will lose compression. The only thing that would have to do with blowing smoke is the amount he was...

    No injector pulse!!! update

    *If* he really has spark, and *if* he really has 12v to the injectors and a working MIL, then his wiring is not correct. I just wonder if he has had a 14 this whole time and didn't tell us because it didn't matter to him.

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    Yes. He should have had 20w-50 it. Toyota knows not what they are talking about.

    Car won't start following engine work

    There is a yellow wire with a green tracer (sender wire for gauge) that is grounded. You have to find the ground. It connects to the sensor with the other ECT sensors on the thermostat housing. The cold start injector is grounded through a time switch which is a simple bi-metallic switch like...

    one piece driveshaft advice

    It is entirely true. It is relatively long for one piece, hence the extra money Toyota spent on a two piece. It isn't like an old 5.0 Mustang Fox Body and its short one piece.

    one piece driveshaft advice

    That is a relatively long wheel base for one piece.

    Help me convince my Dad to buy an MK3 Supra! [PROBLEM] {LONG}

    I wouldn't say get the Mercedes in 1989. Only now when they have been ruined through negligent changes or lack of maintenance. That is the biggest problem.

    r154 pops out in gears 1-3

    There is no 4th gear, but there is a 4th speed which is when the input and output shafts are locked together. And 5th is the easiest to match with the lowest speed. If you had noise that would be a different diagnosis. The synchros are what cause the speeds of the gears to match. So if they...
