i don't really know what to look for cause ive never seen my crank, but it looks nice! keep on keeping on. i can't wait to see this thing in action. 8k rpms should be a blast! i think ill really get a stiffy when i hear this thing rev!

I wish I had more pics to post, but it's a waiting game at the moment.

One devellopment though, I took my Supra for a drive today, it was the first time in months. I forgot how good it handles and how much fun it is to drive.
Gave me something to look forward to.

So this is going into one of your mk3's right? I think it would be pretty funny if you actually used the 5m block instead. Kinda like swapping a 7m into mk4.

I want it to be at about 8.7:1 compression, or somewhere close. We are going to cc the pistons, head, check compression height, and then select the correct headgasket. It should be a 1.2mm mhg to do that, based on the measurements taken before the pistons were ordered.
