getting to the crankshaft
Hi.
I began to take down the engine from my supra, in the quest to put some new bearings on the crankshaft and do some mahining on it. Along the way are ome gaskets.... :) So my question is that: What gaskets should I use. Do you know of a brand that has quality qaskets? Or are the stock ok? And I am not talking here about the HG. That is a well studied matter. I am talking about the gasket to the oxigen sensor for example. Any advice for the way? Thanks. |
If you only need a handful of gaskets.
Go to the dealership. That way you can just get the ones required instead of a kit that has a bunch of crap gaskets that you won't use all of. Stay away from those cardboard paper gaskets. Permatex copper coating is the shizzle also. Coat the gaskets with that front and back. You'll blow a new hg before those bad boys give way. So long as you don't get any solvent type liquids on them. And if you do. No worries because you used oem replacement parts from the dealership. |
Fel pro gaskets are pretty good
|
How can you say felpro are good gaskets when for 12$ you can get the entire upper intake set for 12$????
They'll work if you use permatex copper. You guys need to learn to go with toyota OEM and except no substitutes. Unless you do you will never get off these forums to actually DRIVE your car. |
So... I was thinking to get my intercooler cleaned up as well, but I have a problem... I don`t know how to get it out of the engine bay.
I looked it up in the TSRM but I haven`t find anything on this subject. Can anyone help me? Also, do you know if there are aftermarket intercooler hoses out there for our cars? :x: Thanks. |
Don’t forget to have that crankshaft crack tested before any regrind, especially if you had a shell spin. Some info here for intercooler cleaning/removal.

Sooo...
The engine is out, the transmision as well. So I have looked at the clutch and I idn`t like what I saw. It has to go, so I an thinking a new racing clutch, and maybe a light weight flyweel. The question is witch one would you recomend? What make and what model. Did you get one? How was it for you? What should I change also at this time? Thanks. |
OK...
Can someone please tell me what these are? http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/353...2modvn9.th.jpghttp://img105.imageshack.us/img105/3...a011wv6.th.jpg Thanks. |
I believe one is for egr and the other is for the fuel pressure regulator.
|
U can turn them right or left.
Do you now if and what you can tune by turning them? And how do I know if they are tuned right? |
I have a new question for you all.
I have this sensor that screws into the oil pan, that I broke wile taking the oi; pan off the engine. Now I want to buy a new one but I cannot find a part # for it so I can order it to the dealership. I have this two pictures that shows that the 7MGE has a plug and a gasket : http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6182/7mgeyl9.th.gif, but for the 7MGTE it shows nothing: http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/9886/7mgteuu9.th.gif. Please HELP!!!:help: |
That’s the banjo fitting for the oil return from the oil cooler. There seems to be lots of different part numbers depending on year and country of origin. You will need to order 4 parts for the complete assembly; 2 gaskets, 1 union and 1 bolt union.
This is the part no`s for Year 1988-89 Gasket.. 90430-12018 Bolt Union ..90401-12009 Union.. 90430-12018 . A Blanking plug with no pipe is 90341-12012 which is shown in your diagrams. The diagram below shows figure numbers not part numbers. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...ERRETURN-1.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...olerReturn.jpg |

So, the strangest thing happened. I realized that you are right, but I also am right, and this 2 seem to contradict one another. So I took my camera and went to my engine, a little confused. This is what I saw. I seem to have 2 opening where the TSRM and your engine has only one. Does anyone know why? This is the sensor I broke:http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8...a048hh1.th.jpg http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/4933/poza049dp8.th.jpg And this is what my oil pan looks like. You can see that I have what you said, and more :) http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4...a050mv9.th.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9...a051ed7.th.jpg |
That looks like an oil level sender unit, I have only read about them on 2jzgte engines. Sorry I can’t help.

I thought too that was an oil level sensor of some kind. The strange thing is that I took a conetor off it. And I am certain that I have a 7mgte :) Don`t our cars have oil level sensors? |
The UK models don’t appear to have them fitted, not sure about the JDM and the rest of the world.
|
You do have a turbocharged engine, right?
Can you post a picture of your dash? |
There you go, I’m in the process of replacing the head gasket at the moment so the battery is disconnected hence no illumination for the dash.
The gauges below the heater controls are non standard, Vac/Boost and Air/Fuel gauges. The rest is a standard 7M-GTE 1990 UK Turbo Supra. As its night time in the UK at the moment the camera is in flash mode, the red on the steering wheel is just a refection coming up from a red sheet/rag I'm using to protect the drivers seat whist I'm doing my BHG repair. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...f/DSCF3509.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...f/DSCF3508.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...f/DSCF3507.jpg |
