[empera]

i drove it backwards
Got everything except headgasket...shit wont be in until monday...wtf...gonna see if i can find it locally...

 

[empera]

welp no HG until monday , atleast T is gonna hook up the head for me.

Looks like i'll hafta work on the supra :runaway:

this head is so damn dirty dude LOL....I'm going to take it to my old work and clean it in the tank.....I can't be haveing dirt get on the deck while laping!

I did do a quick test on it and it came out real good! Let's hope the guy didn't take too much off and that its flat....

When I'm done with it I think you will be very pleased.

 

[gaboonviper85]

to got bad news and I got bad news...let's start with the bad news, head is .0045" out...I put it on the granite test table and it rocks like a baby cradle.....and he took more material off the front then the rear by .003" which means the timeing belt will want to walk off the cam gear "in theroy"....if I can figure out if there is still enough to cut again it may be able to be saved but at this point I really doubt it.

 

[empera]

head is back on...

buckets are back in and the head is torqued down...gonna install cams and valve covers tomorrow along with as many things as possible...

[Mk3runner]

the crank pull is over 200?

so will the head work I remember that as a possible issue?

 

[empera]

yea it should work, valves didnt hit so i think thats a good sign hehe... we'll just hafta wait and see.

 

[empera]

alright so today i set myself a goal....get this bitch started....and we did...

first try since putting everything together.
lots of smoke because of all the shit that was down bottom but eventually we cleared it out with flushing the system a couple of times.

Still have a small issue figuring out the vacuum lines but the car is def. drivable, just needs the window fixed and then to register it.

Might pick up some news toys for it this week also

 

[Zumtizzle]

What vacuum lines?

I have a 2JZ powered car, i can help.
