I don't know what to do now. Supras are rare in France and 7M are kinda expensive.
I didn't opened the engine but the crank shaft is certainly badly dommaged.

I guess rebuilding it would be stupid. I can't do it myself 'cause i've no place to work on it.
it will approximatly cost around +/-2000€ (approx 3000$) just to rebuild the bottom part

Think i will order an Auto 1JZ witch would cost less for me. i've seen some around 1200$ with the auto tranny and around 500$ for the freight shipping to France

plus since i have an R.H.D, i won't have any harness problems. it will be a direct fit

Yeah that would be a good fix and upgrade as well 1js are fun.

just be sure its rod knock....all i have to say...its too hard to tell from that vid. I was convinced i had it last week....turned out to be that my aftermarket timing gears failed

Well, there's no doubt about it. We removed the engine and it was in bad shape.
Now, i'll just have to find a 1JZ auto swap.

I guess the hardest thing is to find a good seller who won't send me a junk.

I was looking on Ebay for the 1J auto and they are pretty cheap... but for some reasons i don't really trust Ebay engine sellers

thats exactly how my NA sounds. i never looked into the noise being anything else, i just assumed it was rod knock. its been sitting for like 6 months now waiting on my rebuilt 7mgte

if it helps,.... mine had the same noise. turns out it WAS rod knock. had to rebuild the bottom end with new bearings, crankshaft, and piston rings. about $1500. GL with it.
