I am a N00B in need...

Thanks,

Yeah, I like double checking every little detail when it comes to buying a car. Especially if its a powerplant I'm unfamilier with. I dont think its the dizzy, I could take the cap off and see if the sound becomes significantly louder... I Highly doubt its a rod, I didnt even think OHC engines had rods. The only OHC head I've screwed with is a Honda head. And it uses rockers to actuate the valves.. oh well, looks to be a learning experience.

They don't have push rods, just connecting rods. That is what I was refering to.

Here...I did it FOR YOU !

NOW...I gave you the site to the BIBLE of supras in my prior post...here are a couple of the pages that answer your questions. SO READ IT !!

You said you have experience with 20R (22R) 4 cylinder engines. 7M is different, but primarily in the head. Bottom ends on 95% gasoline engines are the same.

So we here in cyber space can not tell you if its ok to drive the car home.

Check out the 'buying a supra' thread in the FAQs section before buying any car.
