no, MA70 & MA71 chassis are both widebody. Only the GA70 was narrow - it wasn't available in North America.

someone want to explain to me why, on my autometer temp sensor, if i put the wire up against the sensor with one nut, the gauge is completely fucking useless, but if i use two nuts and put the wire in between those two nuts, the gauge works perfectly?????  | |

Would YOU want to work with only one nut?! 
Anyway, with the whole VIN number thing - turbos start with JT2MA71 and NA's start with JT2MA70. I'm pretty sure the chassis code is MA70 through all the years. I wonder what chassis code the non-japanese RHD bodies have (JZA70,MA70, or MA71)?
I'm pretty sure the GA70 body had the 1G-GTTE motor.

| BHG Update:
I went and talked to the shop that's fixing my BHG today. They showed me the old gasket, it was completely fucked at #1 and #6. The composite material was thrashed but the steel ring around the cylinders was still in good shape and the copper ring around the water jackets was a little chewed up.
They said that what they think caused the BHG is that my coolant went acidic (from being old ~2yrs) and it turned the aluminum head+iron block+conductive coolant into a "battery" that ate away the composite gasket material. Also my head bolts were all at around 54-58 ft-lbs.
Anyway, I should be back on the road tomorrow! w00t!!

MA70/MA71 were the chassis with the 3.0L 7M-GTE (GE for nonturbo).
the JZA70 was the same basic chassis with a 2.5L Twin Turbo 1JZ-GTE
the 1JZ was the precursor to the JZA80 (MKIV supra) 2JZ.
the 1JZ is becoming a popular choice among supra owners, its 8000 rpm redline and quick response make it a good engine for the heavy MKIII frame.

they're ready for me to pick it up in a couple of minutes. Here's my costs so far:
$375 - Toyota head rebuild kit (gasket set)
$13 - Thermostat
$90 - Machining head and replacing exhaust manifold bolt
$35 - oil and filter change @ the shop
$400 - labour (no tax, under the table)
-------
$913
====
I'll have to do another oil change in a week or so to get all the contaminants out, but I'll do this one myself rather than paying $35.

apparently my head was in really good shape aside from the missing bolt. They just scraped the gunk off, cleaned it, and lapped it. Did u guys get it ported or something while it was out?
