Bump... price drop on the engine and head!

My gauge cluster backlighting bulbs had been burnt out for ever, so I finally took out the cluster and replaced all the T10 bulbs with LEDs. Bought some LEDs from Amazon which say they are rated for 12 V - 24 V... Installed them, put the cluster back in, and backlighting looked great. Went for...

Picture of the block, crank, and head when finished at the machine shop. The block was bored out to the oversize piston diameter and all new pistons and rings installed. Here is the list of parts that went into the rebuild. All OEM. Injectors and injection pump were also both rebuilt at a...

This 1PZ was removed from my 1992 PZJ75 at ~400,000 km to be rebuilt. To make a long story short, right after the rebuild it cracked a head, then the machine shop I used to machine a replacement head (different shop than the one that did the original machining) made an error on machining the...

Tried again today and it was a bit tricky but success! I understand what people mean by pull out at a 45 degree angle now to be able to reach behind… not looking forward to trying to re-install it.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I’ll forget the unhooking of the cable from a bracket and just try to get my hand back in there or maybe enlist the help of my wife for smaller hands… Just need to find some time to mess with it and I’ll report back…

Trying to remove the gauge cluster and I'm to the point that I have all screws removed and the cluster is loose but not able to pull it out far enough to disconnect the wiring connectors on the back of it. Reading threads about this, I'm seeing consistent guidance that you need to detach the...

I have located and purchased an engine, so marking this thread as "sold."

@1BDA5560 I’m quite flexible on timing and happy to wait if you have a quality engine that will come available. Just sent you a PM.

I am looking for a healthy 1PZ engine. Preferably with verifiable compression numbers or proactively removed for an engine swap.

PM sent

If only I could go back in time and forsee all the complications that have come with this 1PZ rebuild… I would have gone the 1HZ route for sure… Unfortunately at this point I’m too deep in it to turn back until I’ve exhausted all my options.
