What a lovely way to spend a day - pulling the motor and box out of the 4
![]() Dropping the subframe... Subframe and exhaust removed... Driveshaft out... Engine and box just about ready to come out (loom was the worst part!) Part of the WRC version's antilag system... With the motor resting on 'supports', the car was hoisted upwards... Thanks to my mate for the use of his workshop ![]() My, what a big gap! Uses for Holden Ute wheels #24 Looking a bit sorry for itself right now :cry: Next step is to start pulling the motor and box apart so the real fun can begin ![]() Gary This post has been edited by GT4WRC: Jan 17, 2006 - 1:17 AM -------------------- ![]() 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

After the 'bore scoring incident', I decided to get the block ultrasounded to check if it was safe to bore it out to 87mm. Some cylinder walls on the earlier are as thin as 2.5mm between #2 & #3 while others are 4.5mm. As I said above, is a simple case of pot luck. Later blocks were revised with the thicker walls.
Tests on mine, which I got back today, show 4.3mm thickness so boring out to 87mm is going to be okay after all. I'm off to Europe for 3 weeks Sat am so the bottom end will be all sorted out for me when I get back. Something to look forward too ![]() Gary -------------------- ![]() 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....
