engine is all together. I guess I told the machine shop to torque the headgasket to 85lbs oh well lol. 10lbs over won't hurt them. I They want to put the timing belt on to make sure the valves don't smash into the pistons. But For the love of God I can't find my timing belt tensioner:cry: . Anyone got one They want to give me for free almost with the bolt for it ???
Brett: The 7M is a non interference motor meaning the valves can't hit the pistons no matter how the belt is installed so YOU can't fit it later once you find the Tensioner.
One point here is when you install it you MUST use a torque wrench and tighten it to 36 ft/lbs this is very important.
+10 ft/lbs won't hurt the ARP hardware.

do u mean YOU CAN????? or can't?? doesn't matter anyways I found it today anyways.dropped it off at the machine shop. But I will go there tommrow and make sure they get it on at 36lbs. Also the hot tanked the block but said they checked the coolant passages so its all fine.IJ. said:
Anyways Got the oil cooler off. Started working on taking out the whole A/c system and going to pull the intercooler off and give it a good flush as well.
Not to mention got this little toy in the mail today :eplus:
After many curse words and cuts on my arms the entire a/c system and lines are finally out. Got the intercooler out,coolant overflow and the oil cooler and flushed them out. Found a small pin sized leak in the intercooler when I was flushing out so I fixed that as Well. Engine shop phoned thursday engine is done so will go pick it up monday or tuesday and start re-assembling everything.

update:
parts have all the old paint off, pressure washed down and sanded. ready for paint:
first couple coats of paint:
And the finished product turned out very well im very satisfied:
Got alot more things on the engine. Polished up the fuel rail and cleaned up alot of the parts. Lots of things where covered in oil and gunk but cleaned them all up(took alot of time and detail but it was worth it):
Timing cover turned out a darker shade of red but oh well it looks alot better then my other one wich has seen better days
All thats left to do now is connect the wiring harnes, put the upper intake mainfold and any other random odds and ends. Engine should hopefully be ready to drop in the car soon Just finished degreasing and scrubing down the entire engine bay the other day( it LOOKS alot better but it has a lot of scratches and could use a paint but i don't have the time nor the funds for something like that) Going to get start on the wiring harness sometime tommrow ITs going to be a pain in the ass , plus one the plugs on it fell off so I have to find where that going and stick it back on:

finally got the wiring harness on along with the alt,mainfold and rest of the vaccum/fuel lines. Its pretty much ready to drop back in connect up and fire it up!! only thing is intake pipe(accordian) and the upper couppler that connects the 3000pipe to the throttle body is all cracked so im going to find a new one and put them on. As well gasket kit didn't have a thermostat housing gasket or one for the coolant line on the turbo so I will have to buy or make one. some pics:
And of course what im excited to test out the snail

But all thats left to do is buy a slave cyclender(bought one but napa sent me one for a 81 supra DOH!) wait for my coolezee intake(they forget to shipp it too me :3d_frown: ) and buy a battery. Also just need to get a few couplers and line a few things up properly and try and get the fuel line connected as im having trouble getting it on.

gotten in the shop today. So far got the master in with the new line and bleed the line and filled up with fresh fluid. Fuel and return line are on, Oil cooler is back on, and purchased a new oil filter and put it on. Got the intake on and pipe as well as blocked off the hoses for the bov. Just need to finish a few adjustment to the strut tower and the upper hard pipe and it should be ready to fire up!

Let me say this do not have little children near by when installing becauses you will do alot of cursing and mabye make up new swear words you though where never even possible. The thing is a really tight fit and is a real PITA to get on!
stock rubber
the stock one compared to the cooleze. You can see where it was ripped bad And i used some tape for a fix thank god I won't need to start it with that piece of junk anymore
and after about 45 minutes of swearing and bleading knuckles its on

good stuff man,
I like the progress but one thing thats not what i would do is paint everything that brite redish orange. I would strip the paint off the valve covers and 3000 pipe, upper ic piping, and timing cover.
Paint the upper ic pipe semi gloss black or flat black, polish the 3000 pipe and spray the valve covers semi or flat black, get a new timing cover and keep it black. Also polish the intake manifold. Therefore you'll have an even amount on both sides of the bay now that you have a pretty intake pipe and your red in the bay wont be the first thing you see when you pop the hood.
Black, red, and polished parts flow well under the hood as long as its all an even amount and not an abundance.
Otherwise good work my friend. Not bangin on your work you did great! Keep it up
