Gen III 3sgte pictures and questions, need Gen III pictures also Options

[match220]

So I have a two week window to work on my car, and a lot of stuff to do, missing some parts too. I found out my timing tensioner has frozen shut and so has my clutch slave cylinder (5sfe stock manual trans). Also the rear of my crank near the rear main seal has a lot of surface rust on it, so I'll be pulling off my rear main seal housing and getting the surface rust off so it doesn't rip up my new rear main seal.

PLEASE POST ANY AND ALL PICTURES OF GEN III 3sgte's in 6th gen celicas, please! I have a ton of parts, not enough screws, and a general idea of how to fit it all together.

Q1 Can I shave my stock 5sfe passenger side engine mount bracket so that it fits beneath the timing tensioner so I don't have to buy a gtfour one? Looks like it won't take much shaving off of only 1 of 3 bolt passageways on the mount bracket.

Q2 What goes in this gap in the timing covers? I don't have an alternator bracket yet.


Q3 What bracket is this? It was sent to me from someone a year ago that said it was an alternator bracket, but I can't get it to fit.


Q4 Have I ordered the right cooling parts for my engine? Oil filter cooler has two tubes that hang off and the metal heater tubes also have hoses that hang off. I need a good diagram or picture from someone showing the cooling hose hookups on the oil filter cooler. Also, I don't have the piece that the filter threads onto (arrow)

cool, thanks man, I've already talked to Joel at toysport, I traded them a JDM transmission for a bunch of parts a long time ago and I think I still have a credit with him, he said for me to send him an email with everything I need and we'll go from there. I really hope I still have a credit with them. I've been working on it pretty solid the last couple days, got the engine out, putting parts on that I've had in boxes forever, and double checking everything before the final assembly and startup. Still gotta make the harness for the autronic, wire in all the sensors, and tune it. I plan on spending the next couple weeks working on it during the daytime in the back of manoa, if you are ever in the area shoot me a text. You still live in haleiwa?
