Because to do a rebuild well as opposed to pull an engine apart and put it back together again and it runs is way more involved than an engine swap. An engine swap is just component replacement same as a simple water pump or alternator replacement, pull component off bolt component on but on a...

Yes you can no problems I've done it many times with a flex hone but also with a normal hone. A flex hone will suffice as long as there is no cylinder scoring and it's just a case of some bore glazing. The flex hone removes almost zero material and is commonly used as the last process after a...

There's a world of difference between removal and install of a complete engine and rebuilding one believe me. Phil

Use wipesolve or whats commonly referred to a "wax and grease remover" used by automotive painters prior to applying any paint. I had a motorcycle that came from the factory with Matt/sating paint and it was the only thing that would safely remove the oil from bugs and anything else. Commonly...

Agree with that. At the very least the cylinders will need a flex hone run through them and I don't trust a dealer tech to do this correctly or much of anything else involved for that matter. On the Focus RS forum for the head gasket recall some cars also required a new cylinder head. Owners...

If indeed it actually is a "problem". It's like Mastermind sometimes. Your specialist subject?.....answers to problems that aren't yet proven to exist, lol. Phil

Garages are a bit like girls. Some are just for looking at and lusting over some for hooking up with and getting shit happening. Guess which mine is. Phil

Ford the same. Dealer techs. Phil

I can't take anyone seriously on the technical side that's rockin a "Mun". Sorry. Phil

I didn't know you could get a Supra Diesel, cool. :) Phil

Under your scenario If I were you the first thing I would do is check the clutch fluid level. Fluid level too high, no room for hot clutch fluid to expand. The reservoir then pressurises and the clutch doesn't fully engage after releasing the pedal. Clutch slips and then it's a compounding...

Anything impeding the accelerator pedal going WOT like a floor mat etc? Does the aircon shut off when you go WOT? Phil

Where is your transmission setting at? hasn't gone to "normal" instead of "sport" has it? Had the battery disconnected during the work? Phil

What date did you order your Supra? Phil

Don't sweat it you still have weeks to wait for it to get through quarantine yet. We took delivery of the wifes new car last Friday and I'm taking delivery of my new DD Mazda CX5 GT SP on Thursday so I'm on top of the waiting times. No word on my Supra yet from Toyota but I'm not expecting it...

Forget removing the restrictor, it has no influence on clutch failure. I've seen the same supposed "solution" of removing the restrictor on other makes and it has no effect other than making the clutch slightly harder to modulate. People remove it looking for a "magic bullet" to absolutely any...

That guy pissed me off in the first 20 seconds. Great way to analyse a mechanical failure. Let the component hit the workshop floor then kick it around and stomp on it like a moron. These guys are "experts" Phil

I don't think so directly. It's more about the volume of new cars entering the country in waves after supply issues over the last 3 years due to Covid from what I can gather. Knowing how stuff works they probably sacked all the staff during Covid and are now short staffed. Phil

I don't know about BMW//Toyota but with Ford different countries have different base options that you can access via Forscan and turn on and/or disable different functions like the shift indicator and screen welcome sign and other stuff. Phil
