Alot of people I've seen freak out when certain issues with out engines arise. For instance, I explained my rod knock, explained all of why and how it happened. Well lots of people were extremely against my simple "bandaid" rebuilding. Replace the BROKEN parts and make her purr.
Im replacing the bearing, cleaning the shit out of everything else along with inspecting it. No damage. Im getting toyota head bolts, not really hyped about getting ARPs, honestly never been explained WHY its a better solution, I understand it, but It seems like more hype to me.
I am however, going nuts with the bolts, Im going to have ALL new bolts made from the list I found last night showing every bolt, size and where they go. I think with that, new HG (NOT MHG), cleaned parts in and out, new rod bearing on the one that spun to non existence and all new gaskets. Lots of you wont recommend this, but its my engine, and I wanna see if my experience, if working, will calm some people down. LOTS of people have bad experiences with any engine, but in turn around alot of us havent ever had those problems.
The 7m may not be the most reliable thing on the planet, but I trust it enough to not go spending $1500 to bulletproof it. It ran 4 months, yes 4 months with a small rod knock wich turned into major rod knock, only ran 2mins after that b4 I stopped it. I in ignorance didnt know that 4 months it was rod knock, but upon inspection there is NO internal damage. I had a mechanic inspect this shit, NO damage. Im fixing whats wrong and seeing how long it runs. After that, I may fully build my GTE block.
I really love all the help I get from EVERYONE, whetehr they offer more advice than I ask or not, I just wish some people would offer advice, but not shove down my throat that I def has the worst case scenario and I HAVE to do this and that without actually seeing it.
I guess my point is that just because theres alot of bad experiences, it doesnt mean I have to have it too, so Im going to build my supra back THIS way, and be done and show, that maybe its not as unreliable as thought.
Thank you everyone though, really, I love the help so far and how I dont get flamed for asking a billion questions, I ask bc Id like to get a better understanding b4 I go do what Im asking about. I am a fast learner, and I have some common sense, so you can trust that I wont fuck it up.
Thanks guys, cant wait to get it running.
