also try researching cams, heard you can get your cam towers machined for a slightly longer duration/lift.

you should make your own build thread for your car. i am really diggin this overbore talk,:offwall:

if you got the money man then there's nothing to lose, just go with your plan and I would advise upgrading the connecting rods to because you cant be to sure if the stock rods can hold the extra hp/torque plus it never hurts to have that extra security.

Ya I could drop the rotating assembly but the thing is if the rings are bad the block would have to come out anyways for a hone or bore. But I'm just going to do a compression test from there I'll decide what I'm going to do. Plan so far is to paint the talons engine bay and push it out of the car port then pull the supra in for the head removal, send the head to the machine shop for a look over replace whats necessary (possible port and polish) slap'er back together and HOPEFULLY be fine.

You can hone the cylinders with the engine still in the car. Just put a rag in there to protect the crank. (after you pull the oil pan and pull the on rods out) you will have to put a rubber end on the con rod so you don't cratch the crank. It is do able. There is all kinds of ghetto things you can get away with that work just fine.

hahaha well knowing me I'd get to pissed off trying to hone it in the car.

Received the wiper motor from Bak'in yesterday and installed it, tested it out and it only works on low so I have another problem to find. Only two more possible problems left before everything affiliated with the wiper systems been checked and fixed.

Ok, there could be a grounding issue. Is this on your supra. What all have you replaced? I wasn't paying attention. I would say that it could be the switch but when that happens high speed works and low speeds don't. I will have to look at a wiring diagram to help diagnose anything.

mechrider89 07-08-2012 05:42 PM

well the only things left to change would be the switch in the column or the wcu for the wipers. The WCU was making a lot of noise when my other motor stopped so that's where i'm going to try next, going to try and test resistance and if its good then it have to be the switch its self.

CanadianBak'inSupra 07-10-2012 05:41 AM

i never got to test the wiper motor i sent out. really hope you get this sorted out...:x:

Hey, hows it going. Ya the Column switch is what I am guessing it is. To be honest I don't know what a WCU is (wiper control unit) Usually if something is making noise it should be replaced. I don't really know, but if you only have two to go then your almost there. I have replaced a few column switches and I know they go bad eventually. (a lot on American cars)

@ Canadianbak'insupra- I'm sure its fine bak'in, I'll get this sorted out soon as I'm done renovating the rents house for them.

After this next payday I should have more then enough to get my cylinder head all redone. Went and got a rough quote on what it might cost, $712 for hot tanking, valve guides, full valve job, decking, and pressure testing for cracks.
The WCU made a buzzing sound, but it stopped after I installed the new wiper motor. So that's where I'm going to go next I think, I know I can get one of those from the only scrapper that has a supra in stock.
