Nope, no change in sound with the dip stick out. Didn't run it, but used the breaker bar to move the crank, sounded the same.
Vid of my engine running / also whats the sound?

So why would this happen? Someone must have assembled it poorly? It was sent to me fully built, (long block)
If they cut it 2nd under or smaller this is under the Toyota hardening add to this if it was built tight and they didn't use a good moly assembly lube it could have scuffed a bearing on the first startup.
Each time it cold starts a bit more bearing material is transferred to the crank as the crank is soft enough for it to stick and so on until you get RK....
This is just my theory there may be another explanation but having read many of these sort of posts over the last couple of years they all seem to have these points in common!

My engine has 140K and I have the same noise, just started the past week, its not only if somone puts it together wrong mine happened for another unknown reason!!
^^^^Yeah, well I could live with that 140k before having problems. Not even 5 miles and shes probably toast.
Are you sure you were not running low on oil, thats what normally causes bearing failure?

Also, when I drain my oil I will be looking for metal, and dragging the oil draining container with a magnet to find any metal.
If I find metal in the oil, does this mean the fresh rebuilt turbo is toast? Or would the filter catch all it? I just need to know so I can bring that up when I contact the engine company.

Any metal you'll find should be non ferrous at this stage (I'd hope it's not down to the backing plate of the bearing so soon)
Unless the Oil Filter's really blocked and bypassing it should have caught it all before it's found it's way into the Turbo!
Did they mention which brand bearings were used?

No they wouldn't tell me the brands on the parts, I asked (mainly about the pistons) But they just said "OEM quality".......um yeah, now it seems I should have been more persistent.
Recently I saw some "King" bearings that were totalled in a short period of time and looked mashed with the bearing material all squeezed out the sides!
thats the odd thing about supras. almost sounds like a valve but it comes from the bottom end. esp since you heard the sound in the oil pan. did you ever pull the inj clips or a plug wire at the coil to determine if the sound goes away or reduces? that would def be my next step. altho hearing the clunk by turning the motor that def doesnt sound good. id try to see if you can isolate it to a particular cyl.
good luck

Thanks guys, but just in case you didn't read the whole thread (I know its long) here is a recap.

Yeah I have yet to restart it, I did pull the plugs, and it seem to be louder coming from #6. But it's hard to tell

ive got a clanking sound coming from my motor, just happened after i swapped the turbo's out too. Im in stage 1 of 3 (denial), acceptance comes when i get a garage and some free money to buy a used block to rebuild.
*crosses fingers* supra just has to last until then.
