Yes, you can use that, it works just fine.

Not true Ive read many posts of guys with sludge engines that weren't completely rebuilt. Basically just my head was bad, bottom end was clean as well as oil pump looked ok, also im going to run basic oil and seafoam on start up then drain it out.

*New oil pump is on, pans are back on just waiting for rear part of waterpump to arrive so I can do the timing.

Put some ATF in there to help break it down. About half a quart for three oil changes.

Yeah, it breaks stuff down. Make sure to check the clearance on all the lifters. I've found there to be a direct correlation between sludgy jap motors and valve lash issues.

Hey if our sigs were next to each other, and our cars run, they'd crash into each other at a very high rate of speed.

haha

Ok so ive been to bothe Autozone and Advanced and cant get the rite o2 sensor Supras are either using the flange type or there 4 wire, mk3's are 4 wire as well, ive tried for an NSX too but nothing, I looked up a 92 sc300 and they use a one wire. My JDM motor uses a 3 wire 2 blacks and 1 white, I'm guessing the blacks might be grounds so could I use a one wire?

I'll give that a try.

* Updates are water pump and rear housing is hooked back up, D day is tomorrow I'll try and get the timing done and drop it in.
