Very low compression

CyFi6 · 05-30-2008, 12:20 AM

input: Take the engine out. Theres no point of leaving it in if everything is already apart, theres hardly anything keepin it in there! You are going to have a much higher chance of damaging expencive internal parts if you do it from the bottom, and you will likely end up with more issues than you started with. You should probably at least get the block honed out equally if measurements come out into spec.

PAULMICIN: You have got to stop using autozone parts on this car.

Those parts are bandaids and you are setting yourself up for more work.
Parts like those you should be going toyota oem from the dealer. Unless you're punching and stamping the block.

And then aftermarket. AutoZone is the DEVIL.

Ok, well I would get dealer rings if i could, but they are much too expensive. I found nippon piston rings for $48. doesn't nippon make oem spec?

as far as i know beck/arnley arent bad parts. But i dont know about rings.

I have heard alot more about nippon than beck and arnley or whatever that stuff is.

Check out: Performance Parts Aftermarket and Racing

See what these guys carry. Call them and dial ext 103.
Speak to Dave. If he can't find you some quality rings at a fair price.
He can point you to them.

O'rielly's is the lowest grade parts distributor I will use on the supra and I am so utterly choosey about not having to keep working on this tramp that I refuse to stoop to lower quallity parts..

Not that this has aided my car in running or anything but it should when I get it sorted out somewhere around 2010.

As far as lifting the engine a few inches, is there anything else that needs to be unbolted besides the engine mounts? is there anything holding the transmission down? thanks in advance

Please read the tsrm! There are other things, yes.

edit: thought you were removing the engine
