It's my understanding that there is a small mirror that vibrates inside the sensor. There is a vortex generator in front of this sensor that causes the air to swirl and the mirror vibrates at the same frequency. Call it MAF AFM whatever, it is still my opinion that there should be a warning on...

I'd try to spin your fan by hand. It should have some resistance. Sounds to me like maybe your fan clutch is taking or has took a crap. The dome light on my first supra did the same thing, tried to rewire it and failed, ended up replacing it. Check your ground at your tail lights and if any...

I wonder just how many supra owners have walked into the parts store for something, and upon seeing the CRC MAF sensor cleaner, have bought it. Not because there's something wrong with their car, but because that CRC advertises that it is safe for all cars, and can improve gas mileage and...

Hey sm: reread post #19 (unloading springs). Make sure you remove the support brackets that connect the engine and tranny, as well as the bolts that bolt the engine/tranny directly together. There is more holding the motor to the tranny than just the bolts through the bell housing. I think...

Don't forget that when you lift the engine the front of the car is going to raise a good bit because your taking a couple hundred pounds off the front springs. The mounts that are on the frame didn't have holes on my car they were slots. And if I remember the studs don't come out of the motor...

IJ-What substance do you use to lap with? Is it like a polishing compound? Is it possible/plausible to do an non machined block that's been checked and is flat? Obviously your best possible result would come from lapping a freshened block, but do people do this with good results? Sorry about...

A hot wrench will have that thing out in no time. Two minutes tops!

I'm definitely having one motor professionally built by justice racing engines. I was just kinda thinking out loud. Good point about the cleaning, didnt think of that.

You think you could get a couple pics. All the ones I've seen are strait down. I'd like to see a shot from an angle, kinda from the side if possible.

Just like the commercial says...Life comes at you fast. Damn.

Get the ef outa here. But seriously, what do you guys think about sanding your mating surfaces.

Man IJ, you guys will call guys out on anything?! I'll clean up my typing. Honestly, I don't know how to do paragraphs. Never mind. Stupid typing class.:sleep:

I either just had an idea or a brain fart, and I'm sure one of you will let me know. I don't know much about lapping except that you need a special tool and some sort of gritty stuff to do it. If you checked your head and block and all was well (strait, flat, clean). Could you take the factory...

Hey figgie sorry for jumpin you guys stuff, had a rough day trying to fix every ex boyfriends half ass fixes on my best friends sisters ESCORT:icon_evil . Took all day sun. Not exactly what I wanted to do. The "do it right or sell it" kinda chapped my ass. The machine work I meant, I put in...

Aren't the front wheel bearings the none tapered type that need pressed in? Almost positive they are.

I should have said no machine work is needed if the head and block are checked and are flat with a surface ra of 80 or better. I just assumed that was already known. You guys do know everything don't you?

I'm not trying to cut corners. I was pointing out the specific "machine work" you needed for the copper HG's over the obvious machining like decking the block, etc. You are some know it all condescending guys. Justice racing motors is going to do the "machine work" (you might have heard of him...

There is another thread somewhere about these head gaskets. Someone in our little community here was working fairly close with the guys at SCE to try and get these HG's on the market and it just isn't going to happen any time soon. So it really doesn't matter what the differences are because SCE...

so I was putzin around looking for ARP head studs and I came across this web site horsepowerparts.com and they are listing SCE Titian self sealing copper head gaskets in 6 different thicknesses. I was like BOOYACKASHAUN! So I called SCE to verify and the guy said they weren't making the SCE...

Another cause could be your steering stops. There's a plastic cap that breaks off the adjuster bolt for the steering stop after time. If your at full lock (wheel all the way turned left) and moving, it will make a hideous screeching sound. You can replace the cap=money. or just put some grease...
