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....

While I was swanning around Europe, the new pistons were successfully fitted to the revised block....
  ... we couldn't get some ACL +1mm pistons so turned to a set of Wisecos from the US...  So, with that part completed, I could now start putting everything back together..  ARP studs fitted along with the new HG...  Oil pick-up and splash pan fitted following a few hours in the acid bath....  New crank oil seal fitted....  Due to different cams, altered CR and different pistons, a test was required to ensure that valves and pistons didn't come into contact with each other so off to the local toy shop for some...  This was then put onto the piston crowns where the valves would likely come into contact...  Once all 4 pistons had been set so they sat half way up the bores, the cylinder head could be fitted and torqued into place....  The top cam cover backing plate and lower belt cover were fitted next to ensure that the cam wheels and bottom pulley were positioned correctly....  .... prior to the cambelt being fitted....  Once everything was properly assembled, the engine was carefully turned over for a few revolutions, taking care to ensure that there was no unwanted resistance. Then, the belt and head were removed so the doh on the pistons could be inspected. This revealed plenty of clearance between pistons and valves. Obviously a good thing....  With the doh removed, the head could be refitted. This being the current state and the end of play today...  Work prevents me from doing more until Friday morning when the rebuild will continue.
