Update:
Engine is almost back together. Just getting some parts cleaned up/powdercoated before I can proceed. Valve adjustments are done and very compliant (yay!) Cometic Metal Headgasket is installed and torqued to 60ft lbs, as per the specs on the ARP head bolts.  Timing assembly is all back together, and its looking like an engine again! PICS: - Nice clean head with new cometic valve stem seals installed, then shims and buckets reinstalled.  - ARP Headbolts installed and headgasket placed.  - Torquing the bolts  - Timing assembly.... assembled!  - a 3SGE powered MKII? ... yeah I don't think so...   - VID of the christening! It's official now... no turning back.  This post has been edited by KAOS: Dec 22, 2014 - 3:07 PM -------------------- |

Have you started to second guess your work yet?
it drove me nuts when I was building my 3s. I would always wonder things like 'hmmm did I really align the piston rings properly?'.....after I had the pistons installed  documenting everything, taking pics/vids and placing white paint dots on bolts that were properly torqued was the only way I could keep myself from redoing work haha

Especially because this project is taking such a long time from beginning to where I'm at now, half the time I can't remember what bolts came from where.  Luckily I have the 3SGE blue book from Toyota, and an engineering friend that has fully rebuilt a plethora of engines in his life time. Including that fully built MKII Celica-Supra you can see in the background of one of those shots. He is a wealth of knowledge and is very precise about everything he does. He made me lap the head and block with an enormous lapping stone for a total of about 10 hours, just to get the mating surfaces PERFECT for the metal head gasket. With his guidance, shop, and help I can do no wrong.  -------------------- |

awesome that's the colour scheme I want to do, I wasn't sure about the ACIS cover, but looks great, nice contrast. Are you going to paint the first intake plenum a silver? And did you while it was off put heat reflective tape underneath it? -------------------- |

I was actually going to ceramic coat the intake, but I just went with your suggestion instead. Much cheaper! LOL. As for painting the first intake plenum, I'm done with the painting for now, I just want to get this thing back into the car and drive it again. -------------------- |

I'm picturing that red in the engine bay contrasting with the body's yellow, and it's tasty.

Way to do the job right, Kaos.
I'm eagerly anticipating your posts about making the appropriate changes to get the swap running. I hope you can detail the process. I'm hoping to put one in myself, but I don't know what changes need to be made to the wiring. |
