EthanMKIII · 10-17-2008, 06:25 PM

Well after finding out my bearings are done and that a 1jz swap wouldnt be worth it ive desided to rebuild my 7M-GTE the engine has 171,000KM on it. What will i need for the rebuild it would be really helpful if theres links included. Is there any kits on the web for rebuilding 7M-GTEs

Sorry unable to help you there, my own experience is simply maintaining the Supra in stock running order. Ok I've done 3 head gaskets repairs and a big end replacement over the years on several Supra`s, I do know most Supra`s are over 20 years old and it really depend on the condition of the engine vital components and other factors before increasing the BHP. At a guess you will defiantly need forged pistons (not cast) and a metal head gasket with ARP studs. As I said I'm no expert put I think the stock pistons are forged, not sure what BHP they can handle.

Why have u done the head gasket repair so much i though at soon as a MHG was installed and Torqued down with ARP studs the problem was fixed and wouldn't happen again. I'm pretty sure the pistons on a stock 7M-GTE are forged.
