I don't know if I'm not getting the complete story here or what, but the approach to finding the problem doesn't make a lot of sense. From your description it seems like the answer to an rpm limit problem was to bore the block and rebuild the bottom end. In truth, even a piston with a very low compression/leakdown won't limit your rpm. What were the compression/leakdown numbers before you all decided to tear down the shortblock? And again, was the ecu showing any codes?

At the very least, I'd ask that you don't tell anyone that we said you should rebuild the engine because of an rpm problem - because we didn't! Thanks in advance...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. 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? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
