toyota1515 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I start with the engine assembly today and already made a mistake by ordering the wrong piston rings, my probe pistons take the 1/16 first and second rings and i order the 5/64 by mistake, my fault for not checking before ordering, thanks to the good people of Mancini Racing, and i return the wrong rings and the right ones are already on their way here, super customer service. So i just get the crank and girdle installed and torqued down to 110 Ft. Lbs. and sealant plus the rear main seal also installed and sealed, hope no leaks cuz it will be a pain in the ass to do it in the car. here couple of pictures of it on its way to be an engine again since the late 70's! 1 Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well i did a little more today on the engine, file fit rings to abuse type specs, and then got to stop cuz my only facking T45 torx bit is the broken one and can't torque down the timing chain sprocket, so bag it and till next time i got a chance.
