oldeskewltoy: do you push the car at high revs frequently? Just curious about the oil cycling in a performance setting. I have not yet used this at a full-on trackday... but I'm not entirely sure it matters.... for I have a thermostatically controlled oil cooler. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j...

IDEALLY you want a break-in oil for the first start, and first 500 miles or so. I've used Joe Gibbs BR30 for a number of engine rebuilds... all quickly seating the ...

I had the same oil filter-header interference you are now facing. I've used the YZZF2 for over 25,000 miles with no ill effects (I change oil/filter every 3500)

The engine has landed in L.A.. I expect it to be delivered to Portland Engine Rebuilders within the next two weeks.

Interesting.... Photo?

On the oil pump hole alignment. Welding and drilling is unnecessary. Aisin makes a gasket with an oval hole and a little porting in the block and pump housing is all that is necessary, just a port matching. No sense in taking a chance on warping the oil pump housing with the heat associated with we...

If you are serious.... you can "fix" the 4AGE oil pump for better alignment in use for a 7A... the cost isn't cheap. The existing hole gets welded shut, and you drill a new hole that aligns with the oil port in the block.............

Stem and guide "work" together..... the same FSM lists maximum valve/guide clearance. I'd recommend using that before you condemn the valves. Exhaust valve - 0.1mm (.0039") Intake valve - 0.08mm (.0031") If they still are too small..... the choice is yours... replacing OEM valves...
