7mgte rebuild and upgrades...........again

[Supradude7mgte]

Sorry i havent been aound guys, been workin and no computer at the moment.

ive got alot to show.

to the point.
I ripped apart the motor t start the process.

So as i tore the head off, i saw that cylinders 1 and 4 had rust indicating that they weren't firing during the whole rebuild.
I took the plugs out and both of the plugs were bad, the porcelin was cracked badly on both. Which could have resulted in the lower
oil pressure and lubrication not getting to the cams causing them to sieze and rain hell upon earth.

There was also a decent amount of metal shavings in the oil pan sludge.

The main bearing and rod bearings were a little rough

You can see were the rod blew causing the motor to be rebuilt in the first place.

Then i turned to the engine bay. Time to do work.
clean up everything, and organize and shine it all


before

i also went through the wiring harness and patched it up and redid some things

Then i took the A/C out

Then the parts came back from the shop all crisp and clean.

Then i got down and bucknasty all over the parts. They were all stripped, cleaned, prepped, primer'd, painted, and clear coated
all in high temp paint.
that was a vigorous task, very dirty. all so beautiful though.

then i set it all together the next day to get an idea of what it'll look like.

so this is the update so far.

i shall do more work soon, i am about to buy compcam valve springs and replace the valve seals and smooth all the surfaces.
then put the head together, have the crank and internals spun and balanced, the install all new bearings,parts and yay im so excited.


where can i find a full rebuild kit good quality and price? any suggestions?

im happy to say that my supra has been towed to my friends where he is building his supras and have saved up enough money and got back on my feet after some hardships and am ready to finish my car so i can have my baby back.
