I'm sorry again spudz.

Ya generally have to be here for a little while before you start shooting for the " NO DICKS ALLOWED" pm:).

Not a joke. I have received that message.

Here, found the info on the plugs for you. MK3 TSRM On-Line


The video could very likely be rod knock, but I've been convinced before that a car had rod knock when it was an exhaust leak. Do like Supramacist suggested and grab a broom stick. If you'd thrown a valve shim you'd know it, listening to the valve cover would be downright painful.

Look, I already explained and apologized about that one. I was having an off week and wasn't being as understanding as I should have been... God! When will you let it rest? :nuts:

I have it on tap son. Whenever yoooooooou want some more.
I'm your guy. I'm letting it age so it just keeps get more and more fine.

Someday this will be a sought after vintage. But alas. I will have a nissan and then where will all of you be. Yes.
I wouldn't mind venturing a guess.

Like to hear it? Here it goes.

Tightening you spark plugs to 13 lbs.

I guess im shooting all over the place today but off subject question.

I was looking for a JDM 7MGTE to throw in the car after I pull the old engine for a awesome rebuild.

The specs say the JDM 7M fits 89-90 but I have a 87/88 hybrid..

will the JDM fit my 87/88 engine bay or is thier some difference in MKIII engine bay size since the JDM sites are saying 89-90 fit :sadwavey:

The differences between pre89 and 89+ are: wiring harness connectors (not all), and motor mounts. So you'll need to swap some sensors, keep your wiring harness and swap the motor mounts.

I have no idea what is meant by 87/88 hybrid.

How many people out there have a supra as there main car and still get time to overhaul the engine. I did. But my boss lived a street down from me and picked me up from work.
You said you knew what you were in for buying a 20 year old car $100 a month, for a few months you don't spend anything, and then $2000. I bet it is more than just a puncture too. Do you still believe that, because I'm sure quite a few others in this forum don't.

No offense. Not been nasty, just blunt. Besides Supra's are an awesome car, when they work!! lol

oh that is what I call my car drivers side door trim says 87 but I have a buncha 88 parts installed when I got it so I call it a 87/88 hybrid

supramacist 04-30-2008 02:20 AM

spudz29212MKIII 04-30-2008 02:27 AM
