7mgte knock

TheChopShop · 04-17-2008, 03:13 AM

I am looking at a 1990 Supra with a 7mgte. This car runs great, purrs like a kitten, at startup.

This continues until the car warms up. As soon as the temp gauge starts to move a knock developes.

It doesnt sound like it is in the head, but rather high in the bottom end. I am thinking wrist pin but want some other opinions.

I can get the vehicle at a decent price, but I dont want to pour thousands into getting it to run.

Hopefully you guys can help me out. I can do all the work myself (minus and machining) so that will save some cost. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!

YOU're going to spend thousanda on any supra you buy.

This case is probably rod knock.
