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?

supramacist · 04-30-2008, 01:08 AM

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.

Damn this cyngus noise.

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

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

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.
