May 6, 2006 Supra Meet in Greenwood, IN

[boost PSSH boost]

I'm tellin ya, rod knock is goin around. Get vaccinated, people...when I parked my car and went to florida, I came back to rod knock. Very slight though, we'll see how the guts look today when I pull the bottom end apart.

The top of the pistons look brand new...after 8000 miles. Awesome. Too bad they aren't being reused. Goodbye stockers, hello JE.

EDIT: Pistons are junk, skirts and cylinder walls are scored up something wicked. Rods and crank are still good....yaaaaaay. MDC, what caused the knocking sound if the bearings all looked perfect? Something with the skirts? Figure I'd ask someone more experienced lol

Hehehe... yeah, I was infinitely faster than the MKIVs at the track, because they didn't even bother to show!

 

[Jspec7m88]

Lol...

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

FUCK ME FIVE WAYS FROM FRIDAY...

I can kiss the friggin Auto-X goodbye because I was shipped the wrong damn radiator... :icon_mad: It's like 12" by maybe 20", tops... both "hoses" are on the same side (the drivers side) so getting a hose to even FIT would be impossible

BAH FUCK FUCK FUCXK FKCFCK FUCKFC UFCKJFDF:!!!
DAMN IT

Thats my rant for the day, btw

Other than that, and some header bolts, she's ready 2 roll... Oh, and the 4th driveshaft bolt, still need to put it in... DAMN IT I'm friggin pissed...!

GRR

Toyota Supra 81-85 Radiators - PWR Racing

PWR Racing Radiators
This beautifully polished all-aluminum radiator features a 57mm thick two-row core that gives high-hp vehicles the extra cooling capacity they need. The stock height and width allow for a factory-like installation, and brackets are included that make use of the factory cooling fan as well. Vehicles with automatic transmission may need to run an external transmission fluid cooler as well.


incase anyone was curious....

Sounds to me like the cyl bores were't circular and or the pistons had too much clearance....

 

[boost PSSH boost]

or the pistons had too much clearance....

We have a winner. hooraaaaaaay piston slap. :icon_evil

Your prize is....a delicious cookie at one of the meets.

I really should have torn this motor down when I got it, rather than replacing a few gaskets and throwing it in....bah.

Bye Toasty 88T

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

Its for the best really.... a hardtop mkIII? Come on....

 

[boost PSSH boost]

Tim at SP said he wants the shell when I'm done...I don't think it's worth fixing.


Hey now, Toasty was my third hardtop. Except...as you can see I didn't care about interior or exterior, I just wanted to be slightly faster than the guy in the other lane...though sometimes it didn't work the way it was supposed to (fuck IC couplers! I'm gonna weld the pipe right onto the f*cking turbo! HOW ARE YOU GONNA LEAK NOW! )

Glad I got out of that phase. I'm looking forward to playing stupid music with the roof off. MC Hammer, anyone?

I should go to bed...I'm stupidly silly at 4...sorry, 5 am, and I have a gig tomorrow...
