ok forget that last post, not tranny related as for as i know by troubleshooting. i just pulled my plug wires, managing to only get zapped once. turns out the noise stops when plug 4 is pulled.not sure what to do from here. ive got a backup car i was about to sell becuase my parents want it gone so we can all park in the driveway again. is my supra still drivable with only 5 cylinders?like i said 2mr im draining the oil and checking under the valve covers for shavings or anything that could be a problem. im not sure what else to do for now

Well along the afore stated rebuild.

Drive that bitch like you stole it, then rebuild it, lol. Kidding.
Sounds like you located it in #4.

Seriously. Don't drive it. Rebuild it.
This is kind of a good thing if you haven't sunk cheese into it.
Because you can rebuild it with forged internals from the ground up.
Get it all machined ported and polished and just build it.

thats what i was afaid of. never thought i would have to do a rebuild so i never read the other threads, but what is needed besides a dozen 10mm and 12mm? lol my dad has an engine hoist from when he used to build muscle cars, really hes my key here to all this i guess.im gonna have to bore out the piston chambers, correct? i jsut be better off fiind performance parts, a MHG, and well the other things....if you guys could lead me into th light as to what i need in parts and the procedure id appreciate it.

Well when I rebuilt mine.

I replaced everything I thought could ever give me a problem, EVERYTHING.
Now I need an ECU.

does it sound like a loud clock ticking sound?
thats what it sounded like when my friend had problems with his lifters
