I can't wait to have mine done! I'm in for more pics
Hello, Still driving past my house every day? Stop by sometime, I would like to see the Supra. This block as really clean already, so it only received a tank washing.

More to come. This is a customer motor that is receiving real good pieces.

Shit man I totally forgot that you were in Ohio. I passed through there on my way up to MI. I could have stopped by for a visit to see the shop and possibly pick some fancy parts up. I will have to remember to stop in on my next trip up there.

....
New Cometic Rear main seal installed.
Not aware of other seals other than OEM for the rear main. How does it compare / perform versus the OEM version?

I am usually around, Stop by just give a call ahead of time. I can waste a bunch of time talking Supra!

I like the cometic one. It is made in Canada, but I am not sure who made it for Cometic. Felpro, stone, evergreen and a bunch of others make a rear main seal also, but I have seen many aftermarket rear main seals begin to leak early on. The Cometics I have not seen early leaks from them yet.

New timing belt and ended up polishing the lower front timing cover a little in the clean up process.
New water pump
New oem oil o-ring
Cleaned up the oil filter housing mount
Oil filter housing installed and cleaned.

The OEM version exhibits this problem also.
An old school engine builder mentioned to me to minimize the bypass just put a small film of high performance silicone sealant on the OD of the seal, and some lithium grease on the shaft prior to install. Haven't tried this yet, so I can't quantify it's effectiveness.
Great job on putting a basic demo of proper engine assembly
surface cleaned and head studs installed
SIP 1.8mm head gasket set down.
Got to watch out for those rivets. None of these ever really get in the way but always want to check.
Rebuilt the head with a new 3 anglecut on the seats and replaced most of the seats with new ones. Mild porting work to clean up the casting lines. New cometic valve seals, reground the valves, hand lapped the valves into the seats. Installed some new comp 975 springs, milled the gasket surface.
Head is on and torqued

Grease helps protect the seal as you install it over the shaft it is to seal. Sliding a dry seal over a dry shaft end can damage the seal. I would not say everything I do is proper
but thanks for the compliment!---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------
buckets and Shims are all installed.
Little bit of high zinc cam assembly grease from my buddy Mr. Schnieder.
From here on I thought we got some pics of installing the cams and working on the shim clearance. But I don't seem to have them. So I missed out on pics of the cam install and cam gears.
Here is a pic of the rear seal on the motor.
Now a completed long block ready to head out the door.
So I am missing pics of installing the crank scraper, damper, and oil pan as well. Crap, maybe the next one.
Rich,
Just found your thread here! Your engine looks great! When are you going to start selling rebuilt engines on Ebay?...
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my Supra, Looks like I need a new engine, so I'm thinking of picking up another JDM and replace the Headgasket before I put it in!

Ebay?? Jinky...I can only imagine what the sellers fee would be for that!! I have several motors here that I might build on spec to sell if I ever get caught up. Watch out for some of those JDM engines, they could be in bad shape to begin with. Rebuild your motor!
