Kevin's 7M low hp build

Only reason I asked about your pistons is, you never mentioned boring or honing when you got the block machined....Only assumed. I wish I could have used my old pistons on my stock rebuild, lol. Looking good, keep it up

oh well i had it just deglazed. why would you wish that? lol if you had the money.. why not. i was just trying to save money where i could. .i should have named the thread Kevin's poor low hp 7m build lol
so yea later today i will try to find different socket. hopefully it works out.
Looks good so far - a 14 point 9/16 or 14mm craftsman deep well should fit. I bought one specifically for my head studs.
ok so i tried a 14mm and its the exact same outside diameter as the 9/16 so i'll be returning that.. i think i'll just grinddown the 9/16 socket so that it fits.. it'll be my custom arp head stud socket. now the only problem of finding someone with a bench grinder i can borrow haha\
after this problem is should be smooth sailing
i'll be done school in two weeks so i shoot to pull the motor then.

I actually used a 3/8 drive 14mm deep and it fit just fine to snug......i set my torque wrnch 7lbs higher then recommened specs and torqued it down with a 3.8-1/2 drive adaptor. When i got the right socket and rechecked it i was 1lb off recommened torque. Just a little info for you
ok so i went out and bought a 3/8 drive 14mm deep socket and it worked!! except with ONE bolt, it was really tight sqeeze to get it in there and i had to use pliers to pull the socket out.. soo ya head is now torqued down to 85ft-lbs. everything should noe be smooth sailing from here
i plan on finishing this and dropping her in withing a couple weeks. next week are my exams so i wouldnt have time..

Im having a problem like this....the arp's that are on my motor, I cant get them off...none of my sockets will fit. So i'm thinking about going out and trying to find on of the sockets u used here....hoping for the best

i havent gotten around to doing that yet
quick update. motor is in. and currently im running everything stock other than a fpr. turna out my wideband isnt working so i need to buy another one.. need to install that before i put anything else in. valve terrain is quite noisy and there is a ticking/knocking type sound that is scaring me :S but it does not get louder when i revv??? i only hear it at idle :S:S:S:S:S
read whole thread, always something to make a project last a couple more days/weeks lol, anyways, i believe that knocking could just be the way your steel lifters are, had a 94 jeep that did the same thing, now im not for sure if its tha same in a supra just a thought XD
Last edited:
no lifters in this car. i do have loud valve ticking.. and i think the knocking could be piston slap because the machinist did deglaze the cylinders.. maybe he took off too much idk but anyway.. im gonna live with it and see wat happens
and timing is perfect on the car

low hp build = reliable
..in theory
nice work, but like me, you chose the wrong car to learn on haha
