"....on JDM cars that's were the heater return hose is connected. " It was on my car before, but can I block those off, is it safe? Or do I absolutely need to get another hose.

got it, just checkin since the head studs are almost double TSRM.

Coolant hose, its the one that comes from the left side, you know how theres 2 hard pipes that run on the side? The lower one comes from the front and when it comes to the backside, branches off away from the block and then another part keeps running around the back side.. I blocked off the...

OK For main bearing caps its 75ft lbs in TSRM, is this ok? Rod caps are 47Ft Lbs, is THAT ok? Sorry guys I knwo this is alot of posts from me about this stuff but not much attention is on my build thread.

So its barely any fun haha, plus the compression might cause det.

haha, I just stuck a GTE crnk and rods in my car and Im afraid of doing this...

You need GTE Coil packs too dont you? And alot more, that has to do with the electrical side of this, Id love to do the same, my team member has some turbo parts and is begging to slap it on mine, but not now...

Yeah, the SAME exact pistons returned to the same cyls. I made double sure of that. They got new rods, but the rings never came off. Everything seems ok, so far, gonna drop it tomorrow I HOPE if I get off work early enough, otherwise friday is the day, I think.

Thanks I figured it out. What Im trying to solve now, is find a picture of the tranny attached to the block while its outside the car, theres these 2 BIG thick metal brackets I cant remeber how they assemble. Along with the rest. Also on the GE there was a coolant hose near the back, I think...

Ok I got a vac line, no CLUE where it goes!?! I know where it plugs but its weird, ok, lemme explain, its a hard line with 2 hoses on the end of either side and the TSRM shows it going across the front to either side of the engine... The thing in red.

Time will tell, Im about to strap the wire harness to the block, reassemble the rest, drop, attach everything, hold my balls, prime the pump, pray to god. My past 4 - 5 months of work over weekends is riding on this, please, even if youre skepticle of HOW im doing this, please pray for me.

K, last qustion, when I turn the crank, I can kinda hear pressurized air from the bottom end around the pistons, the head is on and torqued, no oil or anythin in yet, is this jsut because some valves are open and closed or what?

I thought crank was set to 10....? People are setting some to 14...

OK I dont get this, I put the timing belt on, turn the cams to TDC, but I gotta turn my crank to 10* right? Well I cant fuggin turn it bc the heads on and it builds pressur in the combustion chamber, so now I cant turn the crank to 10* and get ti read with everything else, I have no idea what to...

I was told by 3 people, 2 mechanics, that if they go back in the SAME hole, no problems, the seating will remain ok.

Ok so everyones saying its IMPOSSIBLE for me to NOT hone the cyl walls and use the old rings and it not burn oil? This isnt possible for it to work correctly or what? I thought it was impossible to get my valves back in without a compressor or something, but I got that done, I also thought it...

Rings no, same ones, I poured oil into each one, hand cranked it over a buncha times and let it sit overnight, nothing leaked anywhere, I did place the rings in the areas shown across each side however. I didnt hone the cylinders either, had a mechanic tell me they were ok. Im pretty much sumped...

Used crank and rods from a running GTE, after I installed it all I checked the plastigauge on every bearing, it was dead on perfect clearance per tsrm. Checked the flatness, flat. Again, this motor wasnt even anywhere NEAR a HG problem, that was all perfect, and it didnt burn oil. I cleaned...

GE block, GTE crank, and rods. GE Pistons, all swapped over. Some gaskets, are fel pro, the rest including the HG, are Toyota OEM New OEM oil pump from dealer No upgrades except the ARP Studs, new pump and all the shit thats new.

haha, I just read them, I could of swore I didnt see tq specs before haha
