mine runs like a top. it sounds good and has plenty of power. then agian its a "JDM" engine. and i really dont know if shes been retorqued or not.:icon_bigg
I've had my MKIII for over 20 yrs. now with 0 issues.
I did an HKS metal head gasket in 1992 and have always used Redline 10w40 oil changed very frequently.
I love that car and the 7M
I just bought an 88 with 112,000 miles thinking the head gasket was going to need replacing only to find that (surprise!) there was paperwork in the glove box showing a new metal head gasket was just installed. One less thing to stick money into...not bad for a $1500 car...
i havent started on my 7mgte yet, i need to find some good prices on parts somewhere first. first time i drove it ever, 110 mph like nothing, with 170,00 and a leak on the turbo, i was impressed
Ya I blew my HG awhile ago. Have the car torn down completely. Gonna do a complete rebuild and mod on the 87 7MGTE. Anyone know of a machine shop that has a torque plate for the 7M in the Seattle area????
just bought a 86.5 mk3 with a 7m in it. it has a valve tick but i'm thinkin of puttin the top cylinder head from another engine to fix the problem. or just 2jz this bizznach:naughty:
