So it has been a while since I have posted on this build because I have been busy with getting things together for a wedding but expect to see pictures of the progress tomorrow.:biglaugh:
Clutch's Supra Build!
- Thread starter clutch
- Start date
So as it has been awhile since all this has been updated due to a set back that really bummed me out. Breaking the J-Bolt off on the back of the head then while trying to remove it I broke the easy out off inside it.:: angry :: That head ended up going to the scrap pile. But I got a few small things accomplished. I got the engine bay cleaned up a bit. No wire tucking as I do not have the time for that right now.
It looks alot better than I actually thought it would. But it is a start to getting something under way on the car itself

So I thought that I would throw one of my side help projects in.
A buddy of mine over here was telling me that he had a power steering leak and could not figure out where it was coming from so I found the issue for him and thought I would throw the source of the problem up on here just for a few laughs.
:3d_frown:
Can you spot the problem?

So this was the start to the head being tore down looked over and checked then the valve seals getting replaced and the valves getting ground in:evil2:
So these were the pictures that I got of the head building process wish I could have made them more detailed such as the grinding part and actually putting in the valves but I am sure that alot of you already know how to do that:naughty:

So that was the progress on the head and while doing the build a few of the parts for that turned up that I had ordered :naughty:
I thought that I had ordered the studs but mis understood the add that a friend from one of the supra clubs over here put up. so I ended up getting the wrong ones but hey I wasnt going to wait for the other ones because I want to get this thing together and running for the upcoming move that is going to take process soon enough.
And then the plugs came in as well.
So that is a few bits to push the engine install back together.

I have them in my other Supra and I like them they are a bit more solid and you can feel the motor a little bit in the car so I was happy with them.

So I have been busy but I thought that I would get you up to date with all the progress that I am making on the car. My computer that I am on right now is running a bit slow so if things are looking correctly I lwft off showing the motor mounts that I went with. I have done a few things and I just spent about 8,000 on parts and what not some of those part you guys may recognize on here because I have got them from you and then also got some from some suppliers as well.:icon_bigg
The head issue I got that straightened out with just getting another one and redoing everything on that as well. And I got that mounted up on the block. Shame I didnt get no picture from that but I do have a few pics that I got afterwards with a few of the parts on it. Took me about 16 hours to completely redo the other head.:3d_frown: But it was worth the time because I know that I wont have no issues with this one.:icon_bigg
These were the few pictures that I got with the motor still out and the head installed.
