Knocking noise investigation/engine rebuild

[supramacist]

It's a 19.mm I can get a 21.mm on it also but the 19 is the right one.

I don't have access to anything that requires an air compressor but if I am going to keep a project car around, I'll be getting that equipment for sure.

I was wrenching that thing too. I thought I was going to hit my head on the block.

Tonight I'm going to lowes to buy the biggest breaker bar I can get my mits on.

 

[BlackDynamite]

well you can also wrench it just get a cheater bar...basically a long, strong pipe...put it over the wrench handle and have at it....LEVERAGE is the key...

plus if you have access to a junk yard and you are low on the cash flow, old 60's and 70's dodge,Chrystler,Plymouth had a "V ,2 piston, A/C compressor" on their cars that can be Easily made into a compressor for a air tank...plus you could pic them up for the cheap cheap...plus it's electric...so no car motor needed LOLOL....

 

[supramacist]

Ya I tried the cheater bar. Forget about it.

I bought a 17 inch 1/2 inch drive briznaker bizzle. I'm going to pop that biotch like a zit.

I hope.

I'll shoot that 411 to you tonight blackdynamite.

And you lost me totally with that last half of post there. Back off the herb bro.

Having a leveller makes life SO much easier .

 

[supramacist]

Are you talking to me Ij??? If you are that's cool.
I just want to squash that other stuff man.
I respect you too much to speak to you the way I did and I apologize.
I guess I'm just overly passionate about my supra so I'm sorry dude.

Was that an african american hand I saw by the cracker box????? Is this somekind of metaphore blackdynamite???? I'm kidding dude no offence.

 

[BlackDynamite]

Well i'm white but i'm from the south so you might as well stereotype me as prejudice against black people....HAHAHA...j/k i don't hate anything except Kia's and Mitsubishi!!!!! And the Traditional Cocky Honda driver also known as A HON-DOUCHE driver...

 

[IJ.]

Was actually referring to BD's engine leveller.

 

[BlackDynamite]

was he drunk or something....cause i have no idea why he apologized for some random reason....lol....

 

[BlackDynamite]

Just curious...i was going to get a Metal Head Gasket and i don't know what size to get...I think He said he took off 9 thousandths...what is the max u can resurface a 7m block?....and what size gasket should i get?

 

[supramacist]

2.mm

Call horsepower freaks and speak to Dave at ext 103.

www.horsepowerfreaks.com

 

[BlackDynamite]

whats the stock mm head gasket 1.2? and how did you figure out that i needed 2.mm? SHould i go Hks or greddy mhg?...Also arp head bolts? What rings should i get?....i'm asking these questions because i'm going to order all in one BIG order from horsepowerFreaks so i don't waste time...LOL...

 

[supramacist]

I bought an upper gasket set and took that head gasket and had it measured at 0.76. I had 7 thousandths of metal removed from my head. You had a bit more so I hypothesize 2.mm . Dave will sort it out no doubt for sure he's the guy that did my math, lol.

I don't know what you plan to do with your ride but a long time ago Ij himself informed me of the HKS stopper MHG. So I researched it. I truely think it is the best head gasket available and the next would be the beaded. IMO.

Again I went with ARP hardware but I chose studs over bolts. The bolts would probably be easier to set the head upon but I'm not sure. I know they are noticabley better value than just the stocker head bolts. But that is for you to decide.

I also went with an MSD Blaster coil SS and MSD plug wires and I went with Denso iridium u groove plugs.

AND I STILL DON"T HAVE MY HEAD.

 

[IJ.]

Stock is 1.37mm compressed.

 

[supramacist]

Ya know, I bet it was 1.76. Sorry, but aside from that, it's all there.
I'm going to make note of 1.37 compressed in my blackberry too. Thanks Ij.

 

[BlackDynamite]

i talked to the guy Dave, SUPRA NICE GUY(HA HA i made a funny), at HPF......he told me i needed a 1.5 head gasket and recommended a greddy one...he is going to send me a estimate for arp bolts(which he said he wasn't sure if the arp bolts for a 7mgte would work for the ge but i'm pretty sure they would...i mean same block correct?) Head gasket, and oem rings...

 

[supramacist]

The blocks are different. But the bolts are doable on either block. Well I'm glad you got it worked out.
