This weekend im pulling the 7mge out, and maybe even putting this bad boy in. The harness is done, Dr Tweak is the man for making my harness look new. Im hoping to have it running by next week. Im waiting on 2 gaskets at the moment. My goal is to have it started up and mayne even running on the streets before october 9th. And all the bugs out by the supra meet.

Looking at the picture of the cam :nono::aigo:, I wonder what the rod, and main bearings look like. Also wondering what the bottom of the cylinder walls look like when you cycle the engine?

the bottom of the crank(not the bearing surface) was a little surface gunk, just took a rubbing with a brush to get off.The walls of the cylinder looked good from what I can tell.

The crank did not have any scoring, pitting nor did the cylinder walls? Do you plan on replacing the bearings ( Rods, and Mains )?

 

[steveyblack]

They could of sprayed some wd40 down each cylinder, when I looked under the engine and up into the cylinders, I didnt see anything to throw up a flag. I do plan on doing a mild build sometime in the future.

[steveyblack]

I got the car started tonight, Ran it for 20-30 second only. I was not getting power to the fuel pump, so I jumped it for now. Ill be setting up a relay for it to come on when switched. I needed to mess with the TPS to get it started too. so ill me fixing that too.

 

[steveyblack]

So it turns out the oil drain bolt is stipped =[, ill be draining the oil, drilling and re tapping the hole. ill be using a really thick grease to catch and metal shavings. Ill be putting a thread insert in too. Ill be hooking the IC up tomorrow along with the radiator, maybe even take it out for a ride tomorrow. It was raining today so I didnt get any videos
