Just checked the torque on the head bolts, wow I was surprised how loose they were. Good news though, they were all relatively similarly loose. I lashed the valves back to perfection again also.
I did notice on the freeway at full throttle going up a 6% grade that I heard pinging. I went to a higher octane fuel and the engine still pinged up the same hill. I have since enriched the Air Flow Meter and the pinging is gone using 87 octane. I suspected that the increase in displacement leaned out the motor.

Drive-able, but had developed a case a rod knock. I will have too pull it apart again. Since I do not want to cause more damage I bought a 2005 997 chassis Porsche Carrera 2 911.
I am going to get some work done around the house before I tare into the truck again.

I am getting rid of the Supra. It has been lots of headaches with that thing over the past year and it is not worth putting money into at this point.

Well there is still a lot to deal with in my garage before I can even get the truck in the garage. I am planning on pulling everything out of the garage and then paint the floor. I still have an entire IFS frame on the South side of the garage. I am planning to dissemble all of the front suspension and then move the frame so it sits on its side and leans against the North wall of the garage. Once I have all of that done, I will have a two car garage that is empty of all clutter and I could fit both the truck and the carrera inside.

I bought the frame for $100 some years ago. At the time I did not know what to make of the SAS on my truck and thought it would be a great option to have on hand if I ever decided that I did not like the SAS. For the most part I have not enjoyed the SAS with what little I have experienced of if. I still truly think there is an IFS future for me, but other things must happen first.
