Yeah the car is mine now....
 I was thinking that way until i saw the prices of u Haul. $568+$281= Not worth it. What I'm stuck on is it said it needed a lifter job???? What does that mean in the land of 7MGTE. Let Lord be with me.

The 7M uses shims on top of buckets (aka lifters)... even with severe wear the valve train should operate well enough that minimal losses will be noticed at medium loads. If a shim managed to get kicked out it'll eat the cam like a fat guy at a wedding buffet. Excessive vlave clearance may allow the cam lobed to actually contact the shims causing heavy wear and a light ticking sound... a spit shim should like a little monster eating matchbox cars.
As for the clutch master, did you bleed the line? What is the clutch doing?

No i didn't bleed the lines, I just put it in there. On the next day i will be getting the parts installed (Aka the ignition lock) Do you want me to bleed them? Tell me to do so cause i didn't have time before. But surely i will I'm going to do that then a $300 job for the clutch system. And By the way it's a 91 Supra 7MGTE Powered with white rims from factory on all four... is that a special breed of supra?
*UPDATE* Good news and bad news... The good news first THE CAR TURNED ON WOOOOO.... thats about it for good news, now the bad news when it was turned on there was a medium sound of knocking I think it was the lifters but i didnt get to hear it that long tho, AND the oil is all over the ground. Please get back to me asap i need to know what to do. its still at the shop and they are willing to take a look at it and bleed the clutch. Let god be with us all. Thank you SupraShogun.

Well, The Lord did all he can But, Still he couldn't stop things like this from happening but the First time i fired it up and heard the sound it was ROD KNOCK. But i got to ride in it. So this ends a book in my life.
