Ian where did you find these pics? This dude is going to fail and that sucks, but a part of me just wants to watch the carnage as I believe the owner deserves it...it's 100% obvious that he did no research at all and is just randomly doing shit!
Correct me if I'm wrong but is that RTV...
Is this a fresh rebuild and if so what pistons are you running? Does the noise go away once the engine is warm! I'm not a fan of mechanics as most don't know what they are talking about.
You don't generally balance them together....you balance the pistons together.....balance the rods together....balance piston/rod combo....balance the crank
if you didn't balance then don't expect the motor to last 80,000miles.
Auto's have different radiators....you can use an auto rad in a 5spd....you cannot use a 5spd rad in an auto unless you get an aftermarket trans oil cooler....turbo and na rads are the same.
They are the worst books ever produced! Considering the Toyota service repair manual is easy to find that is the way to go! I had a chiltons and after 1 week I threw it in the trash!
