What have you all done so far to it? I'm getting ready to start my rebuild and trying to figure everything out.
engine video so i can do like a before after thing of your car, for the video im going to make, if you dont want your car to be in it then you dont have to post up a video, but that would make me cry.:cry: <--- see like that guy.GrimJack said:
Just a video of the engine running? Or something as it is going into the engine bay? Or as it's being built up? I've got no problems donating footage (tho getting longer than 30 second clips into the computer is tough for me at the moment, I don't have a video input device) I just need to know what kind of footage.
Loki, I've done a fair bit.
- Baked the head flat
- New valve seals
- Surface the head
- Cleaned the head
- Cleaned the block and crank
- Honed the cylinders
- Polished the crank
- Surfaced the block
- New Rings
- New Main and Rod bearings
- New frost plugs
- New gaskets
- New crank keyways
- Several new molded rubber hoses
- Green truck shifter gasket & shifter bushing
- HKS MHG
Had to junk the cams that were in the engine, they are scored badly from debris in the oil. Luckily I had 2 full spare sets. The crank that was in the engine was dead as well, the keyway slot was destroyed. Luckily I had a spare crank, too.

anything you think would depict a rebuild of your engine, say the camera panning for like 5 secs over all the parts and tools all over the place, and then another 5 secs going like the opposite direction, over where the parts and tools used to be, and it pans right to the engine bay,
kinda like a before, pan this way ------> and the after <------pan that way and end with the engine complete.
thats just an example you could do what ever you want, i just want to get some engine footage into the video and you IJ, shaeff, suze, and grp A are all doing rebuilds, im still looking for other peoples rebuilds if the have a thread, but anything that you think would be worth describing your supra and the work you put into it. Know what i mean?
And then did a whole shitload more assembly. Right now I am SO sore and tired it's not funny - 14 hours of work on it today. Some of which, admittedly, was driving around to get bits and pieces, or taking the tranny to the shop to steam clean 15 years of muck off of it.

And then I did a bunch more work. Picked up 4 sizes of wiring loom and replaced all the loom on the engine wiring harness, and after finishing that, plugged it into the motor, bolted on the upper intake manifold, and spent another 6 hours on assembly.
Then I took some more pics for my dedicated fans, of course.
