Hi, i also de debaffle my valve covers for a completely different reason. If you sand them down or sandblast them, debris clogs up behind the baffle. My engine builder (60+ years old) always tells every one not to paint their valve covers unless they are 1000% sure everything is completely clean, because the residue behinde the baffle kills a lot of engines. Better said it kills the oil pump first and then the Engine. He showed us every oil pump from every engine he rebuilded, which got killed by sand particles. Reason: The Oil filter just catches the particle which would be pumped to the bearings. But the oil pump has the Bypass for the oil regulation. So sand can travel a lot of times through the pump, also expecting the oil filter is perfect in doing its job. As you also noticed you should reinstall the baffle, that the cam shaft doesn´t thrown the oil out the PCV Hose. Drill and tap for little screws with loctite or weld a little hill back on it and press it down with a press like oem. If you don´t trust little screws in your engine, you should know that crank shaft oil channel endings also get tapped and secured with little m3 or m4 screws.
I just bought a black 87 turbo. Got a deal I couldn’t pass up. I’ve binged watched your channel over the last few days while working a turnaround. I can’t wait to put another 7m back on the road! You’ve definitely earned this subscriber. Keep up the good work. Never stop learning.
Looks great! Good luck with the clutch install. Just had to pull/reinstall my r154 twice. Hell of a job, both times I walked away sweaty and cursing. No fucking room in that trans tunnel!!
I drilled out the rivets on my baffles and tapped the holes so I can remove them to clean and just bolt them back in (locktite for sure!). That way I was able to make sure there was no crap behind the plates and also can add some stainless scourer packing to aid in vapour condensation pre catch-can
Nice video. 👍👍 I have supra 1986 I would like to put something like that in the spark plug area but the throttle and the air intake hose is on top. Supra no turbo. Do you think it can be fixed..?? Thanks
Always a pleasure to watch these. How about putting same color to the valve cover details as you have on your shock tops? Would match pretty nice together
I remember when you got that head, feels like 6months ago to me I did watch it fresh though. Time flys. Edit: I like the blue hints to it, looks good. Silver looks good too although just blue would work as well. Looks kinda lazy as is even though it's a bit more stealth I suppose.
@@-LFATV my .02 on that maybe a midnight/navy satin/matte blue or a dark grey. I think the gloss might be a waste of time not really change it much. Course neither of those will match the cap or belt. That said though when I get a chance I'm going to start running timing covers when I can: 1. New radiator hose ate up in a wreck onto cam gear. 2. On my aveo spark plug cover bolts went into there while driving, nic'd my aftermarket belt. Both pretty fluke instances but they make me realize having the top open while the bottom is sealed acts as a container to hold debris.
Gotta go back with the blue dude looks sick that way! The bump im running into right now is I’m trying to find yellow harness and ecu for mine. I got a motor with grey plug and harness and ecu sadly. Do you still need the regular ecu if you go the stand-alone route? I’m aiming for the 500+ hp route.
Hey I need help with my Supra wondering if I can talk to about it and my plans about since I’ve been trying build up my Supra out of being my daily. I want to go fast now with it
Hello bro i live in idaho I have my 1990 supra 7M-GTE And I'm wondering if you know a good mechanic shop down there where I can take my supra to fix it

I was hyped when I noticed you dropped a video bro🔥
Few for the past few weeks
Looks great! Good luck with the clutch install. Just had to pull/reinstall my r154 twice. Hell of a job, both times I walked away sweaty and cursing. No fucking room in that trans tunnel!!
Yea im not looking forward to it lol hopefully i can get some help

Thats a good idea, i didnt even think about that
I'm thinking you should do the lettering and lines on the covers in the same body paint color. mmm mmm goodness just a little subtle touch to match
Blue looks really good bro matches with the belt 👍
Nice video. 👍👍 I have supra 1986 I would like to put something like that in the spark plug area but the throttle and the air intake hose is on top. Supra no turbo.
Do you think it can be fixed..?? Thanks
@@ismaelalvarado706 yes but you would have to change your entire setup to do so
@@-LFATV
Maybe you can help me through the process...😬😬 I'm not a mechanic but I like to get my hands dirty and I know it's long term project.
I LOVE the blue accents on the valve cover. How do I start doing this for my supra?
Its just blue oil based paint layered on it
Just watch his earlier videos, I remember watching it in detail.
All black. But since the cover is winkled. Make the lettering a different finish black. high gloss, satin, etc.
That’s a good idea
Def all black, with black cam gears and timing belt. 😉
Not changing the timing belt 😅😅
The strut tower brace 👍 who makes it ?
Always a pleasure to watch these. How about putting same color to the valve cover details as you have on your shock tops? Would match pretty nice together
I actually dont like the color of the shock tops lol but good idea
What was the brand name of that letter detail paint? I could get a good look in the vid.

I might do gloss black lettering

So beautiful
Do still use that clutch? Is it good? I have a w58 and I need a clutch
This is a r154 not a w58
Hey bro send your info I’m building a similar build using ecumasters classic
For wat?? Just curious
@@-LFATV just wanted to pick your brain about some of the tuning solutions or frustration you ran into
@@marvinjenkins9704 i didnt do any tuning at all, it was all done by a friend who had more knowledge of it
@@-LFATV ok thanks
