is it worthit to upgrade my supra with stock turbo?

[fantasma87]

thank you grandavi and btwilson and the rest that comment on my post. thats why its important to ask questions or listening to other people ,they may save you time and money on a problem. THIS IS MY DEAL, i will remove the engine and tranny with a friend at my house, i live in Kansas and around the area i havent see any auto shop capable of doing the head. if compression its good and i work with the valves and give a good clean on the block and gasket , it will be ok to replace the gasket with a normal one rather than the metal one? i`m planning to boost it up a little more, not for racing but to feel the joy when i step on it , "short trips"

In the old days, a good clean meant "draw-filing" the block and the head. With the Supra, i dont know if I would do that, all depends what you find. I would go ahead and then take pictures of your block and head surfaces and post them up here for us to peek at and then it will be easier to advise. The more pictures the better advice you will get. Also, note the spark plug condition of each cylinder (line em up and take a shot - in order...) as they also can tell a story. Expect to find oil in the spark plug galley if the valve cover gaskets were leaking (very common with the 7mGTE). You should use something like rags or a turkey baster to remove that oil so that it doesnt give you a wrong picture of the pistons when you remove the head if you pull the plugs first.

Good luck!
