Block is back. Surfaced flat along with timing cover. Cylinder 6 has been sleeved. Looks excellent!
Sleeved #6
Resurfaced head, sandblasted, valve job, new OEM valve stem seals.
Parts... Rear main seal, timing belt, tensioner pulley, ARP studs... etc etc.
NPR .040" over pistons and rings are on their way, then assembly begins!

The car will come together pretty quickly once the parts are all there. After engine rebuild, R154 will go through rebuild, then suspension/steering (looks like a bitch with a motor in there), and assemble!
Took a little longer than expected, but I got my pistons and rings.
NPR rings 1mm oversize
Old and new.
Clevite bearings
Block ready for bearings and crank
Rings on, pistons in, rod caps torqued.
Rebuilt the AISIN oil pump + new o ring.
ARP head studs and cometic 1.9mm head gasket. Calculation puts the compression ratio just a hair under stock. Versus stock deck height/headgasket thickness, this 7M will be about .006" thicker overall with the cometic considering the current deck height (block has now been resurfaced twice in its lifetime)
Oil pump drive seal, cam seals, oil cooler seal, water pump gasket, valve cover gaskets, fuel J pipe gasket, etc.
Suspension Techniques sway bars
Half amber signals

Checked out what you said... good call, the rivet totally gets in the way of the head sitting properly. Thanks
Timing cover...
oooh gotta love that fitment.
Oil pan installed, Permatex ultra grey
EGR cooler plate gasket
Brand new CPS cover/gasket
Head, cams out.
Rivets removed from Cometic HG...
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a longblock..
ARP studs torqued...
New Koyo tensioner, mitsuboshi timing belt, cleaned timing covers.
Time for intake manifold, accessories, gaskets, water lines, vacuum lines, etc...
One more for the... garage... I guess.

Yo before u put your intake manifold u might want to open up the water channel hole that goes to the IAC valve body and torque it a few more lbs than the book says. Mine dripped coolant from that spot and I had to do this to fix it. A real pain in the ass once the engine is installed. A lot of cuts and scrapes on my hands and arms. I went to 18lbs for the torque. Book calls for 14 lbs I believe. Just something to think about. I took mine apart 3 times trying to fix that leak. Not fun.... it's good now though...
Right on, I'll keep than in mind. Trying to handle as much of that kind of stuff as I can before the motor goes in.
I remember getting to an O-ring near my IAC on my 87 4Runner turbo. That sucker was jammed up in there. Sucked donkey balls repairing it in the truck.
A Supra is so much tighter in the engine bay... I cant imagine its any fun dealing with anything IAC related once the motors in.

Great progress I remember buying most of that stuff too always got stuck needing something small and having to wait a few days for it to come in
I am also running the rc 550's they seem to be doing just fine
No paint on the exhaust manifold or turbo hot side to clean up the look a little?

I'd recommend painting the exhaust manifold. I redid my studs when the motor was out but my dumbass didn't paint the exhaust manifold. I wish i did tho

Yeah its a timely process but better not rushed.
I did the manifold but not the turbo. Good call, thank you.

Went back and redid the manifold, had some silver VHT ceramic header paint left over from my 22R-TE build.
Thanks for the recommendation.
New accordion hose
Denso to EV1/Jetronic injector clips
Exhaust manifold painted with VHT ceramic header paint

Loving this build, OEM 4tw. It is good to see some Supra's get the restoration treatment rather than the usual max power builds. Nothing wrong with them, but I think these car's have come of age where restorations are just as appealing.
It is a shame so many parts are discontinued though.
Thanks hybrid. I love the MKIII supra for what it is, always wanted to own a nice clean one. Too many are distastefully modded or beat to hell.
Parts availability sure sucks, boy what I'd do for some new targa trims...
