Fizzy T Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Not dropped an engine out of a Supra before but done plenty of other cars. It's all good fun, I'm powered by Tea with 2 sugars btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Did mine on a slight slope and it came out really easy to be fair. Took the box out with it at the same time. Only things noticeable I had to do were to remove the front wheels, drop the car right down on the front and also pick the tail end of the gearbox up to clear the front of the car. I would definitely have at least two people though, three even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 where does everyone go for their headgasket kit? is that ebay one stock? I'm guessing it's not a genuine Toyota item? I'm after a TT head gasket as well so let me know when you have any luck. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) yeah steve can get oem parts cheaper cant he? what head gasket would you guys go for if you were looking into 600-700bhp and what about bolts/studs, are apr fine ? im sure i read somewhere jamie had problems with arp bolts ? most just go with the standard size head gasket as far as im aware. There are two sets of APR bolts for the head one being stronger then the other and more pricey, im sure if jamie had a problem with them it might of been because he used the cheaper ones and they might of allowed the head to lift with the huge power he was running. Might be wrong on that though I would go with the APR bolts and studs i would change the bearing to something like ACL ect aswell but that just me Edited May 22, 2013 by fastcar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
