This little guy is cute. These are torqued to 13 ft lbs.

IP is next up
This o-ring does not come in the gasket set

Here you can see everything is in time.
Now that the IP is in place the oil filter housing can go on.
Before the cover went on I did a quick recheck of torque on all the idlers and cam shaft.

Front crank seal goes in the timing gear cover
Here you can see the lip it seats up to
New gasket

Put a bunch of assembly lube on the gears, spun the engine both directions twice to coat them good stopping back on tdc
Then when I went to install the cover noticed the dowels are missing
Back to the old one to hammer them out

Roma, I better pack up all my accessories in a box and send them to you if you’re going to test run it! Stunning.
They sit in a through hole so removal is easy with a punch from the back side
Installed
Much better, and they hold the gasket on the short block nicely
Finally got the cover on and torqued down.

Love it more now that the pump is on. Massive.

I wish we could have vapor honed the IP to make it as clean as the rest of the engine.
Amazing, Roma.

Had to stop last night because the little was asleep and I needed to hammer the crank pulley home.
Nose of the pulley got greased up before install.
Manual says to use an sst for this, I used a cut down 2x4 and b.a.s. hammer
Some oil on the threads and face.
I don't have torque wrench that goes to 325 ft lbs but I do have this.
White paint for the tdc mark

Oil feed for the IP and the timing gears. This was replated and clear powder coated.
The two banjos with the big oriface go on the oil filter housing and IP, the small one goes on the timing gears.
New sealing washers

Galen had asked me how I know the pump is in time so figured I'd post this to the thread. When I pull these apart I remove the IP from the timing cover without removing the auto timer, this way the steel plate the IP adjusts on doesn't have to come off therefore, the timing doesn't change. The engine is simply put at tdc during disassembly and at reassembly so all is needed is for the teeth to be lined up.
The black piece between the timing cover and the IP is the plate I'm referring to.
It's alligned in the timing case with this pin
The IP timing adjustment is done here by loosening the four nuts and rotating the IP. In this photo you can actually see where it was marked at the factory. These nuts aren't loosened during the rebuild so timing is maintained.

Gluing the pan on, I like to have everything organized and ready to go so the pan bolts can be torqued before the sealant between the stiffening plate and block sets. Sealant, pickup and feed, pan. Gotta move quick.
New gaskets and copper washers
Final wipe down with brake clean to get rid of any oily residue.
Fresh hardware

One final recheck of torque on the mains and rods just to before it's closed up.

Factory toyota oil filter. Galen sent this one but I keep these in stock for customers.
Need to get over to @Michael B and get the block brackets sand blasted so I can powder coat them.
