islandsupra 07-16-2006 09:16 PM

welcome man, nice to see another owner around here.

I've been trying to rally the troops ever since I bought mine and "met" all you guys... 3 summers now and it hasn't happened yet :p I guess people need running cars to make it out lol.

This summer I'll probably be a no go if there is something - I haven't drove my car in about a month now and I think I am going to take the plates off it in the next week or so.... I just don't drive it up here.

TobyCat 07-16-2006 10:07 PM

running car
 
Yeah, running cars are good :)

Looks like I'm going to be taking mine off the road next weekend to rebuild the engine. Lots of little things that I'd like to tackle all at once

-Bad valve stem seals (puffs blue every startup!)
-Clacking lifters
-Leaky rear main seal
-Stock (but still OK) HG that needs upgrading

I figure I might as well pull the motor, and just give'r on it. As it stands now I think I'm gonna do the works

Metal Gasket (HKS/Greddy/Cometic ... any opinions on which is best?)
ARP everything (head blots, main studs, rod bolts)
Oil pump
Ross pistons (of $$ permits)

Sounds like a fun time, and a hell of a lot of machine shop work ;) Anybody have preferences on shops or know of guys that have experience with supra heads?

...startin' to sound like a big chunk to chew!

Matt6003 07-17-2006 12:21 PM

Running cars FTW! Theres what? 3 of us with working cars?
Nice to meat you man, always good to have another.

arturiusma7 07-17-2006 02:22 PM

cometic head gasket gets my vote. its what im going to use when i end up rebuilding mine.

arturiusma7 07-17-2006 06:53 PM
