    7M-GE Valve Shim thickness equation

    So I'm doing valve lash and trying to figure out new shim thickness. Also too see if I'm doing the equation right. Some valve clearance are too tight, so even my thinnest feeler gauge .0015in (0.04mm) doesn't even go through, so I end up writing those numbers down as the measurement. I no longer...

    Pictures added- Is Nightrungarage fuel feed line a good idea?

    It works last I drove, haven't driven the Supra since 2022 due to the engine rebuild. I just like to replace things as long as I'm in there. Especially if its old and not as easy to get to.

    Yeah, when night run stated eliminates banjo bolt and increase flow I had some concerns. Night run does sell the fuel level sender, but over $400.

    Please explain GTE oil orifice on block? Pictures added.

    Does anybody know what the oil orifice on the block connects to between oil filter housing and oil pressure sender? I have a GE supra but cracked block, so machinist sold me a GTE block. I pretty much figured out every orifice out on the GTE except for this one. I'm assuming it's for the turbo...

    What is OEM head gasket thickness on 7M-GE?

    I'm shopping for a new MLS headgasket and my machinist has decked the block and cut the head. This is the first time the head has been cut and block has been decked. He said I don't need a thick headgasket due to compression ratio being 9.1:1. No power adders either. Also its been bored .020 so...

    7M-GE bored out .020, What is the new head gasket bore size I can go with.

    My cylinder is machined 0.20 out from 83mm, now according to my machinist it's now 83.5mm. Plan to get a Cometic MLS and the next size up is 84mm. He says 84mm is fine and no need for a thick gasket. So the thinnest gasket they sell in 84mm bore is .030 compressed. Is going 84mm bore gasket...

    Forged pistons on a swapped GTE block on GE internals thoughts?

    So I have a 87 Supra GE auto. My GE block is cracked. My machinist sold me a GTE block that he had in stock. My pistons are bad and he cannot find factory GE pistons around. He gave me 2 options. I could go with DnJ pistons which he doesn't like anymore due to current DnJ quality. Or I can go...

    Is swapping a 7MGE Block for a GTE block a good idea?

    yes that is a good tip, I'm asking my machinist to compare the blocks and have the squirters removed. Speaking of head torque I know we've spoken before and also to other users. What torque number would you start off with to get to 75ft ibs? 25-50-75?

    7M-GE upgraded spring for oil pump? Upgraded oil pump hose?

    Yeah I figured the factory oil line would be a good modification, as far as oil pump spring modification if it loses tension over time would it be the same as the OEM spring at that point or worse?
