So first off, I've been using this forum a lot for reference and information in the past few months and it's a great tool for anyone who owns a Celica, so thanks to everyone who puts up good information.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my 7afe. It had 136000 on it when i pulled it out, but it hardly looked like 30000 were on it once i opened it up except for some oil sludge. I purchased a V-5 vortech f-trim to put on after i get the car running again, but I figured I'd share a few pics of the rebuild and update some more when I get to the fun stuff. Pulled the engine in Feb, (i travel around the world a lot, so I've been off and on with this project) brought block and head to my machinist. Block only needed a fine hone. Head didn't need much, but had a valve job done just to freshen it up since 16 yrs on the valve springs is probably enough. Started rebuilding on Wednesday and relaxed today, I might finish rebuilding tomorrow.  Block painted and piston one reinstalled.   nice picture of the little 7a rods  head and cams installed, water pump on  timing belt installed This post has been edited by al94st: Nov 1, 2011 - 5:35 AM |
