Logic's New Engine Build (2 Viewers)

[logicbyondreaso]

Had a couple free hours so I rebuilt the power steering pump.
My vise broke and I am waiting on a replacement so I had to improvise. Worked great. I also used the same setup to torque the nut to 54ft-lbs.

New parts bag from Toyota.

I have a pilot bearing puller that worked great to remove the last part of the assembly.

All parts cleaned and inspected.

Reassembled and a container of old wear parts.

I used the ARP 2034205 Stud Kit with no problem. I think it’s for a Supra 2JZ.

I can't seem to get my hands on those either.
Any opinions on Cometic gasket with OEM head bolts?

It really is amazing how it's barely worn. I think new rings and the engine will run another 200k.

At this point I need to get the cometic gasket and ARP studs. These two items might be holding this project up. I ordered everything 2.5 weeks ago. Still no ETA. I need to be done with it in 30 days. Anyone have leads on these two items? I will send you my ordered bits when they arrive and some beer!

The last set of Opel ARP studs I got came off Amazon. Stock was showing limited everywhere when I bought them.

Cheers

Personally I go the opposite. ARPs with OEM head gasket. We torque to 90ftlbs in 15ftlb increments.

Really nothing wrong with OEM head bolts, they were fine for what 300,000+ miles on this engine.

Clean rig and clean work, very nice!

My two paths forward are:

1. All OEM. Head bolts and gasket as designed by Toyota.
2. OEM head bolts and Cometic gasket (if it arrives).

I am prepping the new motor for a future turbo add-on and this is the ideal time to select best materials. I do think option 1 will do great but if I can get studs and a MLS gasket it would be just a little bit better.

Time to finish: 4 weeks.

I got some of the ARPs around but I don’t think enough to put a full kit together for you. The Opel ARP kit iirc you have like four left over. I been through four kits in the last 8 months.

Wow! If you are able to put together a full or even a partial kit that would be helpful. Maybe other members have some lefts over studs to complete 1 full kit.

Ya we can probably do that if somebody else has a few.

I will check tomorrow how many I have but I don’t toss them so definitely have left overs.

Knuckle rebuild. I've done this many times on my trucks and friends. Still enjoy it.

Much appreciated.

Anyone else think they have some extra ARP Opel studs lying around?

So I only seem to have six around that I can find.

Spoke to Toyota and they are backed up so I don't think I will get the block in time. @SNLC thanks for the offer on studs but this project will be all OEM now.
Not the end of the world. Adjust, adapt, and overcome.
I will put the new motor into a different project. Let's inspect the bearings and crank then button it up with new parts. If you see anything please let me know.
