Knocking noise investigation/engine rebuild

[kntmikado]

Remarkable. Someone who's actually going to dump money into a 7M-GE for performance purposes.

Most people just go GTE.

Personally, I'd rather go GZE but that's a different story.

Well i like turbos....but i like a Naturally Aspirated engine better for some reason....plus it costs more for turbo...If you get the swap package and goodies to go along with it......

 

[supramacist]

I am also anti turbo..

 

[Figit090]

well a good well-built well-oiled ge with good bolts and a new HG torqued properly would be very reliable..... slower, but reliable.

no turbo to die... no extra heat... saves a bit of gas...

or if you have a HUGE wallet and know what your doing you could get good numbers i gues...

 

[BlackDynamite]

Thats what i'm going for now....reliable....Good gas....PLus if i go turbo then i will get another Supra with a 5 speed already in it....just as a toy(shall we say...) But i gotta get ONE done first...lol

I'm going to be sitting at 250 horse when I get this biznitch completed.

I ported and polished all of the air intakes and misc. other things as well.

Ac delete, rear seat delete, msd all around, walbro pump, modified stock air intake with k&n filter. jeeez I'll have to think about all of the shit I am doing to this ride, eiback springs, new shocks.

Currently seeking a brembo brakes. I am also looking for a high amp alternator. All of the little things add up in the end gents.

 

[BlackDynamite]

INdeed it does....Upgrades are going to happen to this engine also...while i got it apart...

 

[supramacist]

Change everything that could possibley ever appear to even be thinking of causing you problems.

Cool. Don't forget to send the instructions for cutting the bag...

 

[BlackDynamite]

Well Then reason it because it's a idiot-proof bag and if you don't want to feel like an idiot...read the instructions....Which is "remove the bungee cord"....lol.....actually it's some metal coated bag thing we found in the shop.....just to keep water outz....OH and i ganked that sweet pallet from Lowe's....

[BlackDynamite]

Well the block is getting cleaned but i found out that the crank where the number three bearing goes was 25 under....so i got my cuz at his parts shop to order a re-manufactured crank from Detroit that is 10 under and comes with all the bearings matched to fit...YAY!!!...294 dollars...plus shipping (beats the 910.60 for a brand new one from the dealer...FUDGE that...)....I would recommend getting a gasket kit also....i got one cause my gaskets were messed up!...Pics Sooon when i get all the Goodies! In the mean time i'm going to make a sweet mailbox out of the old crank...or scrap it for some cash...LOL....Any ideas?...

 

[blackgraz]

mannn Im afriad that im going to be looking at the same problem when i try to fix my rod bearing

 

[BlackDynamite]

it's not that bad...just make sure to get the right bearings....according to some of my resources is that the number3 bearing and crank area....is a week point for the engine....THATS what i hear....lol....

 

[blackgraz]

you get your bearings from toyota?

 

[BlackDynamite]

the bearings come with the crank i'm getting but you local machine shoppe can tell you a good bearing to choose...i'll let you know what kind mine are when i get it...

 

[cuel]

Got a number for the place you got the re-man'd. crank from?

 

[BlackDynamite]

yeah but i can only find out tomorrow....cause the place i ordered it from is closed on the weekends...
