Ouch, sorry to hear that

 

I was belly aching, I don't let the facts get in the way!

 

Sounds like Green Bay, you drive through Petite Riviere, turn down a road through a area full of beautiful old homes (many kept as summer homes), then eventually through a group of cottages, finally a beautiful little beach on Green Bay. There is a canteen/restaurant there, and a lot of the cottages are owned and rented by MacLeod Cottages, who also own the restaurant. Crescent Beach is in the same area, a little North up the bay. Rissers Beach is between them, it has a larger section for day use with lots of parking, boardwalk, interpretive center, and a canteen with shower and change room. The smaller beach section has a really nice Provincial campground. I really love this area, and try to camp there with the family every year.

 

After talking to dad I'm thinking it may just be a blown turbo, which is far better. I have a rebuild kit and a spare turbo at home so it works out!

As for plans, if it does end up being the HG I'll probably just slap a new one in and torque the head to the proper spec (from the factory they're underspec'd becuause of a change of design)

Long term goals, after a house is bought and a garage is built;

I know of a 7m with a blown HG that I could rebuild. Probably up the compression to 9:1 or so, maybe some forged rods, BC stage 2 or 3 cams (I know it wont have nice street maners with the stage 3 but that lope tho), springs and retainers. All that fancy stuff. A metal HG will go in, and probably adjustable cam gears.

That's really what I want to do.. But that's probably 5k+ For roughly the same I could probably toss in a 1uz and make really cool V8 noises.

Decisions decisions.

 

Just to confirm,

Coffee meet tomorrow night 9pm Forest Hills tims?

@D2. I'll bring the tranny with me and we'll figure out whether or not I'll deliver or you can grab it at coffee!

 

I'll be there for 9 or as soon as I get the kids in bed. Think we'll see Andrew and possibly Ben.

 

9pm is good for me as long as the kids are sleeping

if not you are more then welecome to come over and hang out in my un-heated crowded garage

 

I can bring a heater

 

Funny thing is I have one of those big Patio heaters in there for storage, so if we take the Canoe out then we'll have more room, and possible heat lol! ( don't worry, its drafty enough the fumes won't get us )

 

I did a compression test on the Supra today, everything came back at a cool 155~160 psi (which is normal) except for cylinder 6. Came in at a strong 54 psi.

The plug that came out of #6 was also horrendously gunky, and the inside of the cylinder looked wet and coated with poop.

Not convinced its a HG just yet. Rings possibly... all shitty.


Side note, does anyone know of a way to clean poop out of a cylinder without taking the head off? Asking for a friend.

 

Hey folks, since it’s Friday figured I’d final make any account and say, hi.

Here’s my truck on the tiniest of rocks… 04 DCSB, 33s, etc.

 

Also, all the beaches mention are nice, but I think you were probably thinking of Carters, which is definitely one of the nicer ones in NS. https://goo.gl/maps/DEdRCzPgTzo

 

Welcome! That is a very fine truck.

 

Ive got a ARB + winch on mine. Eventually will be getting some OME 886's and Dakars to bring it up to stock height. Lost about 100km of range per tank with all my armour on. If you see mine on base there gimmie a holler haha

 

You already on base or getting posted in

There’s another guy here with the identical truck still stuck like mine he or she got the 2011 white ACLB Trd off road as well

There’s this one guy here he’s got a red SR5 looks like homemade armour and it looks sick

 

Thanks!

 

Welcome!
join us for Coffee anytime!

 

Thanks! I'll likely take you up on that sometime you're getting together.

 

Big puddle with that spark plug removed

 

I think I'm just going to pull the motor and rebuild it. I called Nova today for machining and the prices weren't as bad as I expected.
