so i finished the 2jzge-t with 7m ecu and maft pro. got it running well but i drove it for the 1st time today and it started over heat VERY fast. like within 10 min. luckily with my old 7m habit of staring at the temp gauge i caught it and did no harm.
so i did a a few diagnostic tests
compression test: failed horribly
coolent (at this time was only water) was starting to turn brown
oil was looking milky...
was this a bad dream? nope.
then i realized what had happened.
i had the head rebuilt and re surfaced and i didnt check the ra value.. i really should have because it seemed rough to me.. but im my haste to get it running again i just slapped it all back together and hopped for the best.
so as i started to have bad memories of my damned 7m i very quickly decided i wasent going to dick around with this like i did with the 7m. 2 hours later the head was off. dropping it off tomorrow to a DIFFERENT machine shop. i really dont know what the hell i was thinking... i shouldent have just taken that stupid spanglish speaking guys word... and i should have checked my self.
anyways here are some pics from today,
(2 hours later)
my original build thread is in my sig. today i also found that my ps pump took a crap so im ditching it for no ps... its lighter.. lol and cheeper...
