Im sure you've figured by now that you wont get a straight answer. As its been stated, its been covered a million times. I'd join the popcorn munchers on their deck chairs but i hate pop corn and i bet the beer they have is'nt Coopers Sparkling Ale so i wont be stopping by, just leaving a big...

What Chriso posted is what i used. Its all you need to know. I could'nt use a harness as an aftermarket head unit was allready installed and wired, not plugged by a harness. This list gives you the illumination, power antenna, everything you need if you want to use those features the Supra has.

There are lots of options for oil. You dont need to use Mobile synthetic. My advice is ask a mechanic and DONT listen to the guy selling the oil at the shop. They are sales staff, they rarely know $hit about engines and often suggest an oil based on what the're pushing at the time, not your...

I've also used an external oil preassure gauge after a rebuild which registered good preassure, but with oil pressure switch installed and checking the in-car gauge it reads low. I see some people swear by the in-car gauge but if your in doubt, its simple to check with an external gauge.

I just did a bit of Photoshop work on my car to see how they will look. Im definately going with the gunmetal. Looks great. What sort of paint should i use? What paint resists a bit of abuse? Thanks

Put the head on, and few other bits and peices. Cranked up the oil pump and got preasure, put on intake manifold, and its ready to be dropped in the Supra. Fingers crossed....

Man! Thats a HUGE build your doing. Im doing a build at the moment but not as extreme as yours. Ive spent a total of $650 AU on parts, all parts a bit under trade price, and $130 on machine work. Parts include: *Main and Big end bearings *Piston ring set *Full Gasket set *New...

Whats the best way to get the tail lights off? I've had a bit of a look, but from what i saw it looked a bit tricky. Im guessing theres an easy method. Thanks

Head Gasket. Of course its your haed gasket, it is and always will be your head gasket. Replace everything exept your head gasket, see if that works, if not, spend 500+ Australian on a metal gasket, 200+ on some ARP Studs, put yourself in hospital using an in-bay lapping tool on your block and...

Sorry to get off topic but i have a question for ddmcse. I had a quik look at those links you posted, nice work. My question is you lapped your block and rebuilt in 2003, is everything sorted? Have you had anymore trouble with it since? And, how exactly did your first metal gasket blow? Was it...

Lapping the block is never a bad idea for the 7M, but its a lot of work, and may not be necessary. If your prepared to do, then do it. And make sure EVERY component of your cooling system is A1. What are you planning to torque the head down to?
