1JZ inlet manifold.. crack or casting mark? Wed, 27 August 2003 17:59 Go to next message
Hi all, i noticed this mark today on my inlet manifold.. i cant decide if its a crack or a casting mark... has anyone else got a mark around this bit? Its just to the left of the diagnostic block (JZA70).

It looks like a casting mark however if you are paranoid about it spray some carby cleaner on area and see if it ends up on the inside of the manifold.

Alternatively you could get a real JZ motor although Atmo 7M's apparently smoke those too Wink

Pretty much what Stenno said, spay some carby clean or water over the mark ans see what happens.

I believe he's talking about this thread on the i-supra forums:
Bitch-fight

Look for the posts by Nick M, the resident 7M-loving nutbag. Laughing

bloody hell... whats the big deal with the M vs JZ argument ??

come on stenno, calling the 7m the ass-fucked engine ever produced is a bit much though... sure, the JZ is newer, with evolutionary design improvement over the M. of course it is - thats HOW the JZ came into being...

for an OLD motor, the 7M (with the recognised work being done to tolerate requirements by modern standards of performance and reliability) is far far from being a shabby contender...

but, ultimately, yes, the JZ is a superior series of engine. cant argue with that Smile

Oh damn, another forum I have to join so I can hang it on 15 yo Yanks. Razz

Reading the thread, I now understand Leigh's sig! The thread explains so much!

Ed, my posts were made mainly as a stir towards the resident moron on that forum, don't take it to heart now Smile

Dave - I have never laughed so hard whilst typing replys as I did during that thread, I was waiting for Leigh to get the big guns out but sadly he was only good for 1 liners Very Happy

although nick is sometimes a PITA, he does have his uses and comes up with some good answers to stuff.. He's a die hard 7M fan though (they all are until they get a 1J, then suddenly seem to change their mind). Ive had slagging matches with him before but he's normally pretty constructive in his answers.

Check out the '7M vs 1JZ' threads and 'whats the great technology of the 1JZ' for some interesting stuff Very Happy

The only reason i locked the thread on i-supra (the one youre on about) was that it had turned into a slagging match between stenno and nick.. it would have been funny to have kept it open but theres a big clean up operation with i-supra at the mo. Very Happy

Is it me.. or has i-supra got a bit boring recently.. ? Razz

It's been boring for ages! In the 1JZ section that is (that's the only section I look at). Most of the threads are "where can I get a 1JZ and how much?" or something equally as mundane. I wish people would learn to use the search function... Rolling Eyes

Not really, unless you enjoy stirring up the locals. Wink
