Dude, what is your problem? If you want to help this individual out then that is great, but if you want to post because you want to be an a$$hole then go back to your other forums.

We would all apreciate it if you can act like a mature person while being on these forums. If you cant do this then you will probably not be here very long.

Now, I have helped several people on this forum with different things and they have also helped me.

This is a great community for a common love. And we are here to share information. If having a knowledge battle is all you are here for then you are in the wrong forum. No one likes a know-it-all and if you want to be claimed the know-it-all here then be my guess. I really dont have time to mess with children.

If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you post some useful information by looking up the correct compression test procedure, instead of posting something like "regular oil changes are good" and "I have no clue how to check compression"? Are you just trying to increase your post count on this forum or what? Just chill out ... forums aren't good places for people with egos so over-inflated and sensitive they can't take a friendly little jab (along with the valid content & response I made) in response to a WOB post.

I'd suggest we stay on topic on this thread. If you really feel a strong need to argue with me some more, I'd kindly suggest (with sincere respect to both the person that started the thread as well as the moderators) that you follow up with me via PM or email.

______________________________________________


Here's some more info for suprafann, to (hopefully) help get this thread back on topic. If you do find any low cylinders during the compression test, it's best to follow up with a cylinder leakdown test (CLT) on those low cylinders.

Also, from the picture you posted, it looks like synthetic oil was not consistently used in that Supra. The 'coking' that you see can possibly lead to a number of problems, including oil starvation to the bearing(s) or turbo(s). In an ideal world, that engine should be disassembled and hot-tanked...but there are a few things you can do to partially flush it out without disassembly, if you do end up buying it. Please PM me for more info, or post after you have the results of your compression test.

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?

Again this is none of your business. Me and suprafann have been pming each other for awhile. I told him all this information was off of the TSRM. I gave him a link and he is loving it.

Also, I never said I dont know how to check for compression. I said I didnt know off the top of my head what the compression readings are. Please learn to read sir. This has been a problem of yours since day one on this forum. We all would appreciate it if you could read clearly.

Period end of discussion. I am not going to continue this discussion with a pm or email. Because I dont have the time to bicker and argue with you.

Let this be the end of this and let life go on. Please I would appreciate if you would stop the flame remarks and act like an adult on forums. I havent flamed you at all and I am hoping you will realize this and treat others as you would like to be treated.

Sincerely

So you re-provided the link to him AFTER I already posted it? Why did you bother doing that? Imho, that was more WOB.

Whether you don't know, or you didn't have the time to find the link when you posted to this thread, either way your post was a complete WOB imho. Learn to post, sir.

Awesome. Thanks for restraining yourself and keeping this thread on track...oops too late for that.

Will do. Please feel free to call me on it if I ever try to increase my post count by posting useless WOB (probably because I don't have any useful knowledge to share) in response to a valid question...and I'll be happy to do the same for you in the future as well. Again, let's end this argument now, or take it offline.

...on the other hand, I assume you're probably going to keep posting off-topic garbage on this thread because your ego won't allow anyone else to have the last word...until one of the moderators has to lock it down. (I feel that's rather unfair to suprafann that you will insist on dragging this out.) I therefore await your next "formidable" response.

Again. This forum isnt just dedicated to post information. If a information based forum is all you are looking for good luck cause all forums are not just about bringing the car culture information. We have other portions and threads that do not pertain to info and even cars sometimes. Sometimes peopel post threads of things that dont even have anything to do with cars. So what are you going to do? complaign to everyone that doesnt post information about supras and flame them for it? And btw, my post said off the top of my head. Which would tell any common sense thinking person that he is going to get back with you with the correct info which I did in a pm before you even came in this thread.

I think this isnt an argument on whethor I brought information or not I think this is a unraveling over our last argument and you are mad because you losed it. Again I have no time for temper tantrums.

Now where is that ignore button?

So you want every forum to be given the same rules as 'off topic'?

You're the only one I've seen that's repeatedly wasting everyone's time with ramblings (not to mention inaccurate info like turbos that mix exhaust and intake gasses). So yes, I would sincerely expect that anyone that's blatantly and repeatedly wasting everyone's time should be called on it.

Since you brought it up, I still haven't seen your dyno run with 40psi and 650rwhp on the stock twins alone (no other power adders allowed).

Again for goodness sake, stop posting off-topic. This thread is about suprafann and the engine in the Supra he's planning to purchase.

And so far I see your the only one that thinks this.
