IJ when you say 'snout' Are you talking about the section of the output shaft that sits inside the input shaft on a needle roller bearing? I didn't measure this :S

black89t its interesting you say that, I've worked with several different fwd transaxles and a few tremecs before too.. I don't think *anyone* can go ripping into their gearbox, but rebuilding them isn't exactly a dark art either. Maybe it only is when it concerns r154s :icon_razz

Hmm, the noises your gearbox was making before the meltdown have intrigued me.. My freshly rebuilt r154 (sychno's, bearings, thrust washer and donor 1st gear/clutch hub) also has a whine, though it's A LOT quieter than before the build.. and there is also a faint, but noticeable knocking noise...

yup

And that is basically where i'm at now, I'll try and keep the thread updated frequently now :P Last night I installed the copper head gasket and the tensioned down the cylinder head (80ft-lbs). Will get to reinstalling all the engine accessories tonight :) nice to see it looking like an engine...

been a looong time between updates.. but i have been busy lol.. and keeping semi up to date on toymods so i'm going to cheat and copy/paste all my updates to here.

Thanks for all the replys guys, gives me with confidence. And yep Duane I'm not giong to be re-surfacing the damaged flywheel, i have another one (that has it's share of ware too admittedly.. just not cracks :p) i'll be getting it machined.

So lots of car jerking and whip lash effect? In traffic am i going to have to leave a couple of car lengths in front of me before i take off to prevent rear ending someone?:biglaugh:

Hi all, I'm trying to find out whether any of you are running pucked clutch disks with the stock (though machined obviously..) flywheel and to what effect? I am unsure what compound is used on the clutch disk I have, it's an ACT 6240607 which is their sprung centre 6 puck disk. How will it...

Hey guys, If any of you out there are in the process of rebuilding your r154, while your doing it do you mind getting a couple of measurements for me? I'm trying to confirm whether or not the 1st gear and corrisponding clutch hub are identical across all r154's Toyota spares said they...

heheh pinched them from my build thread on toymods :)
