Dean's MkIII Toyota Supra 7m-gte refresh!
Dean's MkIII Toyota Supra 7m-gte refresh!
Well The customer brought us this mk3, For some minor drivability issues that he was experiencing, So after looking over the engine we realized some vacuum line were incorrectly routed, he also had a boost leak & missing vital engine sensors.
We also decide, to change plugs & while in there to do a compression test , good thing we did, The engine had two cylinders that were basically dead. So we began debating what the best course of action would be, rebuilding or swapping and we decided to swap.
Upadte:
So now after running the numbers we've decided to abandon the 2j swap & opt for the engine refresh....
So lets begin..

Thanks Bro.
So we got the engine Further disassembled: The head had some scouring on several cam journals:
Onto the block: the cyclinder walls were in suprisingly good shape but will also need machining.
The crank also had scouring consistent with the cam journals:
After removing the pistons , It was apparent why cylinder 1 & 6 were down on compression:
Cylinder #1 piston broken ring land:
Cylinder #6 piston broken ring land:
