any hooj back on topic...here's the new bores...pity they had to be done but the new forged pistons were 0.5m over...nice and shiney

just painted...black.the gearbox will be red

going to use st205 rods...got a bit of a shock when I first saw then...thought they were the same as came out but on a closer look there's more meat on them

hey why a pity that the bores had to be bored? I would always go for that, nice new shiny surface etc.....or do you have a dislike to have that done because of the break-in period?

i <3 pics


I wonder what the idea behind painting the cylinder block is in general & what the benefits-disadvantages are....

[oldsoul45]

this engine is in fantastic condition..the bores were perfect with no wear at all
everything is like brand new in there...so pity to re-bore...but now I have..no matter...going to get all the bits together for the re-build so any of you nice chaps with the manuals...I could do with the torque settings...guess they will be the same as a normal 3sge

Question, over there when you put another engine in do you have to go to the RTA so it can be checked for registration ? And new engine number.

[MANDALAY]

BTW 0.5 is OK.

[oldsoul45]

yes would need to change the docs to the new engine number..got the pistons fitted etc...comes to fit the GT4 sump..wont fit..it's different at the pulley end
soo now I'll just use the old one and drill out the casting,waiting for ARP studs to put the head back

They changed the rules over here recently Angelo. You used to just have to make sure you changed the engine number on the V5 registration document. Now you have to demonstrate that you have the sales receipt for the engine when you bought it, or take it somewhere like a garage to produce a piece of paper verifying the engine's been swapped and the new engine number. Dunno why they changed it -probably because there's still folk running round with undeclared engines.

...cool project oldsoul45, was looking through the thread you have on one of the celica clubs the other day

[oldsoul45]

thanks



right so pistons fitted,bottom end now finished...valves lapped and head re-built.on the vvti side when setting up for the belt the vvti should be turned all the way anticlockwise ???(this is without the sender fitted) went for ARP studs in the end just for peace of mind,if all goes well I'll be swapping engines in a few weeks...what oil would you use to run in????


just like to take a mo to thank all you folks for the help you have given me so far

thanks for that...just thinking don't want to use too good an oil as i want the rings to bed in and not glaze the bores or is that not an issue now...still could do with the info on setting up the vvti...have all the marks set up so now do I wind the cam back clockwise?????...will the sender only fit in the right way???

[MANDALAY]

Man i dont have my manuals

[oldsoul45]

well here's what the lump looks like at the moment apart from the new water pump fitted




now need to get the belt fitted and timed up...could do with that manual info just to put my mind at ease...this vvti gives me the shits

Have a look at my thread i tried to explain it.

[oldsoul45]

THANKS...all back together now
the box is back after a new 5th fitting...so had a lick of paint...just a few more weeks and I#ll have it fitted

[MANDALAY]

Well done. Food for thought. My builder will pressurise oil through the block before puting it in the car. This way to guarentee that the is oil on all surfaces befor cranking it. Also advisable to first crank it with the plug leeds off
OH BTW dont get any oil on the surface of the clutch. Cover it

[oldsoul45]

thanks...yes some good points there...going to use a cheap oil to run up to temp then drain...then use a first run oil to let the rings bed in..don't want the bores to glaze..then use the good stuff

[oldsoul45]

anyone got a pic of the crank position sender fitted...just want to make sure it's right before I put the pulley back on

thanks
