The driveway is complete, the concrete just needs to dry now, theres no way between work and waiting on parts i'll finish before it's dry anyways, but it's nice to know it's a non-issue!
You can actually see, in the bottom right corner, a strip of the new driveway, that was the day they poured and smoothed it!
I'm not sure what's up with the stickers, I'm gonna send JM a message, i think he might've gotten the order mixed up, the first time i got em in a snap!

Drive way looks nice :naughty:
Yeah, I looked at the thread, just give me a ring when ya get em and I'll bring my two dollllla's.
holla!
I'll get em tuesday, we'll see If i have to work or not!
I usually have only gotten to do about 45 minutes of work until I realise I'm missing a couple bolts (thats what happens when you replace every bolt with new toyota hardware) So I don't know if it'll be worth driving down for!

I might be hanging out with a friend of mine who I haven't seen in over a year anyways, so maybe the weekend...Jaguar_5 said:
Making little bits of progress here and there.
But looking through the EPC, both the water pump page and the front plate page, which I initially followed when I loc-tited those studs in the front plate (around the water pump) So I'm not sure if i got em right, it doesn't seem like I did i think the stud's are sticking out too far for the nut to even reach down to the housing. And it seems like theres a bolt missing right behind the front plate... wtf is that for?
And some chipped paint.. i'm thinking of hitting some spots with duplicolor hi-temp, not sure if it'll just burn off, but I'd probably just get the freeze plugs... Actually I probably won't end up doing anything :biglaugh:
I also removed the cams from the head, it seemed like it was way to hard to rotate them, so i added fresh assembly lube all over, and then installed the seals and used some right stuff under the front caps. TSRM = My bible
With the gears on (had to drill out 2 opposing pin holes since i painted the gear and it wouldn't fit anymore over the pins) It was pretty hard to turn! Probably almost the same as the crank with all the pistons in. I'm guessing it's just the resistance from all the valve springs, is this normal?
I know I'm missing on bolt on the right of the plate, it was backordered. But it doesn't look like it'll be a 10mm, the TSRM says to use sealant on the 10mm bolt, but there aren't any...

Thanks bro
While those are great pics Kyle, they're a little small for my taste. Today or tomorrow I'll make it back there with my parts list, get the fuel rail on, and some other shit done, and I'll try and remember my camera to post some bigger shots!

Progress moves along quite nicely in-between recieving orders!
I took it all apart so long ago, and moved to my new place in between, i don't really know what I'm missing (small parts, hardware mostly) until i get to that step in the TSRM
The reason i didnt paint the exhaust manifold Kyle, is the paint would just burn off. As time runs out, I'm caring less and less about looks, and just focusing on function. And i don't really want to spend money on getting it blasted, and coated professionally, Maybe i'll do it when I step up from the CT26

Made some progress today, installed the water bypass pipe, after doing a ghetto polish (80 grit only, looks a hell of alot better then the black grime and corrosion! I kinda like the brushed look, it's not a very noticeable part)
Tried to install the J Tube, but right as i was thinking "89 ft/lb is WAY too much! " I sheared off the stud.
Thanks to metric -> US conversions, they converted 130 kg/cm to 89 ft/lb, of course I'm a retard and didn't think twice, until i snapped the stud and realised it's 9 ft/lb :nono:
