Quickly started the throttle body tonight...... what a PITA, worked on it for the length of a top gear episode and said screw it Im off to bed!
once again not at all happy with it and I didnt even start on the outside of the TB cuz there to many small spots I wouldnt be able to spiffy up so itd just look like crap.

Got everything back together today and went to start the car..........it burst into flames!
 I would have took pictures if I hadn't been so busy putting it out, have no clue what went wrong never had something like this happen to me before at all!

Ya it was a fuel leak, I had a couple injector seals blow out. The fuel problems fixed and my cars up and running but I think I just confirmed my suspicion that I have a cylinder head problem.........piss me off. got to do a leak down and compression test first but I'm sure my head gaskets gone or the heads warped.

Now, those head gaskets seem to blow every 60k miles. I don't know why. I had to have my block shaved on mine, but that is unusual too.

Also, I was wondering if.... See I bought big bore pistons, the ones from 1985 (toyota racing) and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I am not going to install them for quite a while, but I was wondering how unreliable would a 5mge engine be with them in it? I have no idea, but have you heard anything?

if they are 85's i would assume dome topped. you will notice no differnece in reliability, but a small compression difference.
the 5mge is a great engine. hands down.
