    ARP head studs vs ARP head bolt kits??

    Same here! I bought ARP head bolts (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and a composite felpro hg. Had the head machined. It was shaved 20 thousands of an inch so I put a 20 thousands shim in to get back to the right specs. Normally this isnt necessary but I had to do it because so much was shaved off. I...

    Oil pressure advise...please!!

    I just got my 1990 Supra 7mge running again after head gasket job. Car is running great but my oil pressure gauge seems to read low. I dont really understand exactly how oil pressure reading is suppose to behave on the gauge. Is it normal for it to read really low like almost zero while driving...

    Quick BHG question

    When they say to make sure u machined the inner timing cover. They mean when u work the block right? The head on my 7mge was machined. 20 thousands taken off. The block was left alone. But I heard talk about making sure the inner timing plate was machined also?? Should I use a 2.0 thick graphite...

    1990 7mge BHG Repair.

    Tks..I was wondering (after I take it back apart) if I could eliminate that damn shim altogether and use a thicker (maybe even metal) head gasket. Like a 2.0mm instead of a 1.4 thickness. Im not overly worried about horsepower or performance but I sick and tired of the over-heating issue. Does...

    1990 7mge BHG Repair.

    My 7mge keeps overheating even after a new head gasket. The coolant backs up and into the reservoir and then out of the overflow and onto the ground. Water-pump..Radiator...thermostat all seem ok. HELP!!! At one time "snake oil" crap was put into the system to try to seal the head gasket. I...

    1990 7mge BHG Repair.

    IM not sure it what type of metal it was now (maybe aluminum) but it was shaped to fit on top of the block to make up for the difference in the shaved head. It was made exactly to fit this motor(7m). It wasnt specially made. They were available, so Im assuming they are used frequently if you...
