I've made so much progress in the past few weeks with my car (thanks mostly to local board members) that I thought I would jump on the band wagon & start my progress thread too.
This thread, just like the car; is a work in progress.  My Car was purchased back in 2006 and was meant to be a project car right away, but unfortunately I was busy with my career at the time and she was quickly neglected. 1994 Celica GT-S w/ ~224K kms on it (approx 139187 miles) Interior was in great condition, nothing special done to it...    Exterior was in decent shape, except for the driverside fender, which was mashed in, punched back out, and rattle canned. The most unique feature of this car, was the dual exhaust.

Got some more work done last night - removed the BENT tensioner from the Timing belt assembly - must've gotten bent in transport.
 Started with the Intake Manifold and the Throttle Body:  Not sure what this is, but I figured I would document it anyways:  IM off: This was quite the juggling act to get this IM off... had to un fasten the TB first, then remove the engine hook; only then would the IM come off without a fuss... interesting set up this 3SGE is...  Gasket appears to be in decent shape - but there was a bit of oil on it, is that norm?: I also unbolted the fuel lines from the rail before removing the IM - I just re inserted the banjo bolt so I don't lose it.   Now to finish with that old nasty wire harness...:   Now for the driveshaft pulley (or harmonic balancer??): Also, here's a decent shot of the bent tensioner pulley bracket - see how close it is to the exhaust cam gear? Thats not good... it was actually a tight squeeze to remove it. I felt the cam gear afterwards and there seems to have been a bit of scoring/marking... but I could be imagining things too.  It looks pretty beat up... maybe some of it was from me :???: - I swear I was gentle:    Here's where I left off last night before packing it in:      So far the engine has been a dream to work with - no signs of leaking, the block doesn't have any cracks that I can see, and aside from the bent tensioner bracket & the MR2 ECU, I haven't seen anything visually alarming... Hopefully tonight I can drain the oil, remove the valve cover, the distributor, and the water pump. This post has been edited by KAOS: Dec 22, 2014 - 3:01 PM -------------------- |
