I ordered TWO sets of rings this morning. You know if I only ordered one, I will break another. If I order two, I won't break another. I didn't take pictures of the piston and conecting rod assembly for the first one, I will try with the others.
So, good and bad. I was very pleased with how the crank went in I was not that I broke a ring.
Got my turbo today! Pictures to follow.

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...Again.
I've never owned anything with a turbo before. I'm pretty excited. Here's my question. You can plainly see that the turbo intake is dual plane, and the exhaust manifold is dual plane, so where do I put the EGT sensor? I'm assuming anywhere I put it, I will only read two cylinders at a time. Anybody?

yeah nah maybe
Manifold before turbo flange, or after on the dump pipe depending on your prefrence

If you can choose ( If I can choose ) will be in the exhaust manifold .. always pre turbo .. more close to your head ( cylinders ) more accuracy the reading you have ..

Now that's sexy I-man... I'm so wanting a 4BT for Blue Marley.. One of these days I promise... HA!
Looking good. Keep it up.

If I tap into the exhaust manifold, I can only read the temp from two cylinders, is that okay? Tell me I don't have to run two sensors.

Looking great, that is going to be fine motor when it is finished.
Do you have a pic of your exhaust manifold? If they are mostly equal length runners than either side on the manifold would be fine. If yours is not equal length (mine isn't), put the probe on the shortest length runner (for me the it's the rear port/passage, cylinder 4). You'll get the hotter reading which will allow you to better monitor and respond to when to back off the fuel.
So that means you can monitor the temperature of one cylinder and get an accurate reading for the whole motor?

Thanks Stevo, I hope so. Keep your fingers crossed.
These manifolds are divided in a pairing 1-4, 2-3. You'd only get a reading on a set of two either way and it's better to get the one closer to the cylinder so you can get better information on temps. In the overall picture, having a pyrometer over not having one is better and pre-turbo is typically better than post turbo for getting accurate reading.

This is what I have Boots.

Everyone take a look at the head in the picture. On top of the head is a tube sticking up. Does anyone know what this is for? I looked through the manual for about an hour last night and I can't find anything about it. It is not in any pictures of the head and there is no mention of it.

Thanks Boots.
That's funny because I was thinking the same thing... what is that thing. I've never seen one on a 4bt. Might post on 4btswaps to see if any of them have seen it. Only thing I can think of is a water inlet.
