Re: Finding true TDC on a 7AG

Here is another way of finding TDC on a 7AG without a piston stop. Using the 7A oil pump and oil pump cover with the 7A crank gear, line up the timing marks from the crank gear versus the oil pump cover. Ensuring that nothing will move, remove the 7A crank gear and install the 4A crank gear then cr...

Re: Finding true TDC on a 7AG

This is an interesting thread :) Since I haven't quite wrapped my brain around all this yet, would potential 7A C builders have to deal with this too? I assume for a 7AC build you'd use the 4AC lower timing cover, crank pulley, and crank sprocket, but IDK for sure. But when in doubt, it makes sense ...

Re: TE72 project makeover.

I work for a Benz dealer and found a color that was very close to the corolla's original silver with just a bit more metallic in it. I love the way she came out!!

Re: Almost Done.... - Just Needed to Post - Story Thread...

Wow, you've got some great pics in this thread! :) Quick question: what silver is your car painted? Is it the silver metallic that AE86's came with from the factory? The paint looks so close to my car, but mine was repainted before I bought it (pretty sure the color is slightly different too) Thanks...

I've been thinking about doing the same thing lately. The LED route would be awesome, but considering the wiring would be pretty simple I concur with the alternating blink method.

If you want my $0.02, you should undercoat the inside of the fenders (I just did the bottom portion) when you're done with them. Going forward you shouldn't have to worry about rust from leaves / debris rusting them out! :D

Wow, props to you on tackling this yourself (and good for you for not scrapping it like the guy on craigslist suggested)

If that was your first time welding it came out great; I'm especially impressed with your metal forming.

I did it myself. O'Reilly has a compression tester rental tool. What you do is take out a spark plug and thread the compression tester in there. A "Dry non-running" compression test on a brand new engine is normally around 120. You crank it for only ~2 seconds, then check to see what you ...
