hey ppl i was wondering if anyone has a picture of a 7afe head gasket cause im done rebuilding the engine and trying to get it all back together but the gasket i got from toyota doesnt seem right . . . the coolant holes dont line up

is that a sugestion or have u done this before?

hey peeps, ok im in the middle of my 7afe rebuild and turbo set up and i have run into yet another snag, i have everything taken apart and ive sent my head to the shop to get it cleaned and polished but anyways back to my problem . . . . im replacing the pistons and im not sure how to get the wrist pins out of the old pistons. i know someone out there has replaced pistons on there 7a before so please send some celi love my way . . . i need the help. im afraid im going to beat the crap out of the and mess them up but anyways . . . . . .

Ok 7afte-ers or actually this is a good topic for anyone with experience with engine building. My 7afe is torn apart right now awaiting a rebuild. its getting a nice shiny set or arias pistons, new bearings and seals for the entire engine. But my real topic is . . . What do you think should be done to a motor that is being converted to forced induction? were talking internals here . . . increasing VE, decreasing compression, valve angling I wanna hear some ideas on how to make my engine run as efficiently as possible.

THIS SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH FOR ANYONE THAT HAS EVER DONE A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT/ ENGINE REBUILD OR WHATEVER ON A 7AFE. I CANT GET MY ENGINE TO RELEASE COMPLETELY FROM THE TRANNY HOUSING. I HAVE ABOUT AN INCH GAP BETWEEN THE TWO BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS STILL STUCK. THROW SOME 7AFE LOVE MY WAY PPL !!!!!

Ok ppl anybody that has frequented this forum has prob seem a couple topics ive posted in the past couple days about my 7a im turboing. And i appreciate all the help ive gotten so far but once again ive run into a problem. ok so first of all thankx to 94 celicadude for the tips he gave me about the axles.
so i got the engine/tranny out finally and no im having problems separating the two. ive got them about an inch apart and it feels like the flywheel is still engaged or is stuck on something. i released the clutch but its still stuck on somthing . . . i think. anybody know what im talking about here? anyways help if you can please

njccmd2002 u must be thinking of a different tranny the ST's tranny doesnt have ny bolts around the exle like your pics show. but ill try the hammer and pry bar technique

like a control arm puller?

Ok i have my 7afe which i am in the process of turning into a 7afte, but uh . . . . i cant get the mfing axles to break free of the gear box so i can pull the engine. there has got to be some trick to this . . . . ive broken 2 pry bars so far trying to pop them out. someone please tell me how these things come out.

im sure this has been talked bout before but i need to know if a 4age header will work on 7afe motor. ive head talk that this header will fit up but id like to get some first hand info before i go ahead and buy one

also do the shift cables pop off of there clamps? or is there some trick to it?

should i pull the engine and tranny in one piece or would it be better to drop the tranny and lift the engine?

Ok . . . im trying to pull my engine and tranny for a major overhaul and i got stuck i need help bad!!! i got everything detached from the engine (wires, cables, hoses, ect) but when i started to lift the engine it seems like theres not enough room to clear the flywheel from the transmission housing. ive tried to move it every which way to shimmy it out with no success. So after this i decided i would try to drop the tranny since i have to do some work on it anyways, so im in the process of that right now but i ran into 2 problems, the 2 cables on the back of the transmission wont come off and i cant get the axels to release from the tranny. If any body out there knows the trick to dropping a tranny and pulling an engine on a 7afe PLEASE!!!! help me this is driving me crazy!!!!!

I don't know if your talking about a valve angle job, a valve angle job helps to give a better seal at the top of the lift, and also helps to increase velocity of flow. and if thats what your talking about then i highly recommend, not doing it yourself. Theres a lot of work that goes into angling valves and most shops wont tell you what angles they use. my advise is if this is what your asking about, then let a pro do it, youll end up saving your self alot of headache and prob money.

oh forgot to mention if anyone sees something missing on my parts list feel free to make suggestions, and if you know where to get the stuff that would help. we all know how hard it is to find stuff for our engine.

Hey everyone, this is my first forum and im new to the site. Ok a little info on my car. its a 96 ST w/ 120,000 on it. i have recently purchased a turbo, manifold, FMIC, SAFCII, APEXI boost controller, Walbro fuel pump,adjustable regulator, injectors, MSD 6300 SCI ignition module, new pistons, stage 4 ACT clutch, gasket kit, AEM wideband O2 system. Ok basically im trying to redo the entire thing so i can get my turbo set up and running perfectly. I know a lot of ppl ave trouble with the 7afte but i wanna do it anyways . . . . sentimental reasons.
Anyways, i want to do a port job and valve angling done and am looking for some info from ppl.
