Thanks fellas!
I'm waiting to get my block back from NAPA. Took it in about 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything, yet.

Progress has been made on the supra, but one of my latest purchase is a set of rotors.
Here is a quick snap shot of one of my rear rotors.

I work there, so I have about $500 worth of engine pulling tools, and only spent about $50 on all of it.

Make sure they decked the block with the rear timing cover on. The head sits on it, and if its not flush with the deck, you motor WILL blow the gasket very quickly.

Your shop should have these along with the rings, while doing the work. Each piston is a different size, so they should bore to a exact size of each then don't get them mixed up from there.

These look just like mine, minus the surface rust lol. But it will go away the first time I git on the brakes.

Looks good, idk about the paint on the inside of the cover, but it shouldn't do anything.
The block got resurfaced and I forgot to take in the timing belt cover, so i'm just gonna take it in when I get my head work done.
I know I haven't posted in a while, so here is a quick update.
I finally got the motor back in the car and it's looking better then ever!
I still need to get a crap load of parts to get the car running!

A little update:
I recently purchased two AEM gauges - Wideband O2 Air/Fuel UEGO gauge & Boost gauge. I am also waiting on my Lotek gauge pod to arrive.

Got no time for masking? :runaway: lol. Shouldn't really paint inside oil cap hole or on threads in general.Emilian;1685934 said:Valve covers have been cleaned and painted and so has the crankshaft pulley.
Otherwise this build is looking good
