Hey zai great being at the shop today it got the fire burning for my 6 swap. But before i jump to a swap i would like to attempt that valve guide repair.

What where the seals i need again so i can order them this week and have them this weekend. Going to need a valve cover gasket i think you said aswell

Any other parts i will need for this please let me know by thursday i can make sure i have them. Lol i started the hunt for that 5v

mr2greasemonkey · 10-08-2006, 05:09 AM

Hey Shane, nice to see you found us again, hehe. You are looking for a valve cover gasket set ( valve cover gasket and tube seals ), teflon tape, and valve stem seals ( intake and exhaust ). Will prob take a couple of hours and if we have time we may even do your valve adjust while we're at it.

shanesmk1 · 10-08-2006, 03:16 PM

thanx zai i will make sure i pick those up before i get up there next weekend.

The best i found so far was a 5vz....but i was 3,100 lol. i think i will keep looking.

shanesmk1 · 10-08-2006, 03:19 PM

oh yeah i came across a whole bunch of 3vz's would these fit better easier then a 1mz? I think we may still have to work with an automatic ecu but man they are cheap as hell. 3v'z all day 600 bucks lol

Hi Zai, where is this place at in Oregon City? I've missed the last two dyno days because I was out of town but I'll plan on attending this one for sure. I've got some more questions for you but I'll probably just give you a call on your cell later if that's ok.

shanesmk1 · 10-09-2006, 05:17 AM

i forgot how much you said it was but i really would like to see if my 5s is even putting down 60 horses lol. Maybe if we take care of that oil problem and maybe bring that cylinder back to life it may break 65!

mr2greasemonkey · 10-09-2006, 08:57 PM

Hey Matt, sorry I missed your call. The dyno is at:

Bel-Air Machine & Performance
14181 Fir Street
Oregon City, OR 97045

It will be only people that we know or invited guests. We basically take over the dyno for the day and try to get everyone on for some testing and maybe a little tuning. As usual, there will be a lot of knowledgeable people there to talk car stuff with. I'm not planning on bringing my car since I've moved on to doing more mods to it. But I will be there to help everyone.

Shane: I'd hold off on a swap for the moment till we get the Beat the Heat car up and running. That'd be a good learning process for you.

shanesmk1 · 10-10-2006, 03:13 AM

yeah i know the shopt isnt open for awhlile and i will so totally sit in and throw every minute i can at the beat the heat project. You do know best so i will take your work on it.

mr2greasemonkey · 10-11-2006, 12:21 AM

Hey...I dunno nuthin....I'm just a monkey.....hehe.

Seth W · 10-11-2006, 12:28 AM

LOL-it was great to see you Saturday night, however briefly. I had the wife and kids with me, and they had had enough by the point you found us, especially after sitting in the car for an hour, just waiting to get into the event!

It was awesome to see a car trapping over 260MPH in thje 1/4 mile though!!!

There's a Supra cruise-in this Saturday, starting at RRev Motorsports:

Looks like it's not exclusively Supras-hope some of you guys can make it.

Seth W · 10-11-2006, 12:49 PM

might be fun to do, I talked to zai and it look like we are going to move the BBQ date and do it with the dyno day on 21st. hopefully none of you show up on sunday expecting a bbq.

those old racing harts are up for grabs if someone wants them, if not I'll post them up on the other board, I really hate shipping stuff though.

mk1matt · 10-11-2006, 05:22 PM

got my motor to run for a moment last week, my fuel pump or relay is bad so I had to use starting fluid but it started right up and ran for about 3 seconds. So this coming weekend I have 4 days off, so I am gonna try and get my swap done. Just hope everything goes smooth......

mr2greasemonkey · 10-11-2006, 08:45 PM

Hey Ken, sorry I didnt stick around to chat with you guys longer. Ran into a bunch of people I knew so I had to go check out everyone's rides. Jet car was a " blast ", LOL. We are gathering to try and make it out this weekend to PIR since the season is winding down. Hopefully I'll see you there this weekend. I need to talk to you about seeing if you've got any spare supra parts I can buy from you or maybe you can get me a deal on some parts I'm looking for.

shanesmk1 · 10-12-2006, 05:42 AM

hey zai just making sure your going to be there on saturday....how early i wanna get this thing done lol. Let me know. You guys planning on goind to the drags this weekend?!

mr2greasemonkey · 10-12-2006, 08:31 PM

We are prob gonna be here around 9 ish in the morning. First thing is to do some diagnosis on yr driveability problem before we just jump in and start replaceing parts.

shanesmk1 · 10-13-2006, 03:25 AM

ok like i said before it start totally fine and no engine codes have ben thrown at all. IT just smokes like crazy and misfires pretty badly when really pushing the pedal down. It misfires like crazy in the morning i mean the whole damn car shakes pretty badly. I really wanna see the power this thing is pushing i mean its gotta be some serious numbers......78....maybe 60 i dunno lol.

But yeah i will be there on saturday bright and early so if you think i shouldnt crack her open no worries i will just keep throwing money in the pit for the 6 or something. Hope everything cool up there and i will see you guy in a couple days!

Seth W · 10-13-2006, 06:20 PM

vince I keep on meaning to call you but always forget to, I'll give you a ring on the weekend. if your busy doing other stuff no big deal because the girls house with the car is about 2 miles from jasons so no worries. other than that nothing too big on my end. I still have those racing harts if someone wants them, I really dont feel like shipping them out unless I have to.

shanesmk1 · 10-13-2006, 10:16 PM

what size are the harts?!
