ok guys sorry for the wait!
ok so i finished her up and she actually started up first try. i was very surprised. anyway, engine sounds great but I'm still having a couple issues, I have a speed sensor thats not working, I need to swap a motor mount (anyone got a spare front mount?) and an exaust leak. The exaust leak will be fixed very soon but other than that shes ok. I'll put some pics up in a bit. she making me angry right now cuz she died in the rain and there is no power getting to anything now... Figure its a fuse, maybe you guys can help me out... http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry661935 This post has been edited by nightryder: Apr 6, 2008 - 4:58 PM --------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |

I told you to plug in the speed sensor, it's just not plugged into the top of the tranny. The front mount is about $40 IIRC from toyota QUOTE The exaust leak will be fixed very soon but other than that shes ok.

ok soo I went back into the wiring and went through everything.
every ground, ecu, fuses, relays... I pulled out the good ol' multimeter and found a drop in voltage at the ground on the tranny. So when I went to unbolt it I noticed that it was pretty tough to move. Turns out it was all corroded from a certain amount of clutch fluid being spilt on it or something. So i cleaned it up, put on some corrosion protection and she started up... weird thing is... now my speedo works again(?) i wont argue though, now all i got is that exhaust leak and the motor mount. ill be posting some pics and some some sound clips once the exhaust is all set. -------------------- The question is not how far.

How much did it cost to get the crankshaft lightened and balanced? I heard that it usually costs about $1500

I heard that it usually costs about $1500 ooooo, I dunno man. I guess it would depend on the machinist and whether or not you pulled it out the the block for him. -new pistons, rods, rings and bearings (oversized) -Cylinder bore -Deck cut -honed -crank; ground and balanced -repainted block and valve cover and other various parts -reassemble block he did all this for $796.... I guess it just depends where you go This post has been edited by nightryder: Apr 17, 2008 - 9:23 AM -------------------- The question is not how far.
