    Metal backed guide failed

    Alright, so I got the compression test done. All cylinders were good and within a few psi of each other. #4 was a little lower than the rest. But they all have good compression. I'll get in contact with Ted And get replacements. Tomorrow I'll see if I can get it to start even if it's just...

    Metal backed guide failed

    I know both of these are a possibility. What I'm trying to figure out is if something else could have caused the failure. Spark plug #1 was seized (only 4 months old) and it was pouring rain last night. Will try again tonight. Timing set (chain, guides, tensioner), oil pump drive, water pump...

    Camping inside your 1st gen?

    im 5'10 maybe 5'11 on a good day. myself, my girlfriend and my dog all spent a night in the bed of my 86 over the summer. with the seats folded down we fit great. a sleeping pad or an inflatable mattress would have been awesome. also a good fix for the elevated feet problem is to lay in the...

    Ok, so I see a 120a rebuilt denso on eBay that is a direct replacement. As for wiring upgrade, what do I need? Just a bigger gauge for the power?

    Anyone else still have one of these?

    still have mine, it has a rip in it though. as for remaking them, i have access to a roland versacamm and would be able to print these if i had a file with the art. i have done it several times in the past for cut away art. i just dont have the time now to spend redesigning this. ian

    Need advise on 1st gen purchase

    judging by your posts, i assume you are not looking for something to drive daily or even semi daily. you're looking for a toy, something to wheel in and get dirty. something turn key for this purpose. if that is the case, i would go with the first one. do the small amount of body work it...

    they are two different meters or sensors that measure the amount of air entering the engine. the difference is the way each calculate the volume of air. google afm vs maf for the specifics. as for why the supra afm is desired, its because it is .5? inches larger. which means, more air, more...
