Ok tiny update. Finally got my head back from the machine shop today, so reassembly should start sometime next week, when I find time. Just a decking to get rid of some witness marks from shipping directly on a pallet...:pandalol:

Plans are to re-tap the service ports on the head for some NPT fittings, clean thoroughly and then start the reassembly of the head. Again sometime this week, once I find some time.

 

I also received........thank you again Puffwagon !!!!

 

He supplied me with the mid/rear sump oil pan I was worried about being able to find, and in a very timely manner as well, for being sent half way across the planet, not a shabby job at all.

So time to put the rest of the motor back together and then start some Fab work on the chassis finally, to get it to all fit, should will be way easier now with the rear sump setup. Stay Tuned!!!

Absolutely, lol. That's a hell of plane ticket though.

 

Also I don't know what you'd be learning lol, I don't know anything about these motors, just learning as I go along. They were never offered here in the States, so theres not really a large following.

Just remember, while you've never worked on one it's still just a engine & normal procedures still apply. It's a massed produced engine so there's not really any thing exotic about it. The only bit of info that's a bit vague is the cam timing but once it's in frount of you it starts to make sense (not like the old pushrod stuff where you just joined the dots)

Oh yeah, I have built a plethora of RB's and 2JZ's so its pretty simple for me. And not too worried about the VCT stuff either, being its simple to VVTi also. Very excited to get the head back together though, and start assembly of the motor, then fab time for the chassis. :wwww:

Some progress today on the head. Just need to find the proper torque sequence and specs, for the caps.

 

With any luck should go back onto the motor sometime this week, and work of bolting it down and getting timing items on and re-timing the motor.
