1994 pickup project
I picked up this yota about 6 months ago from a friend and just got around to messing with it. Originally it was not running with what was thought to be a bad fuel pump. Upon closer inspection I diagnosed it with very low compression on three of the cylinders. I yanked the engine and tore it down and brought it to the machine shop to have it spec'ed out for machine work. I ended up replacing parts with: re manufactured crankshaft with acl bearings, enginebldr.com rebuild kit .040 over bore, and a re manufactured cylinder head. This was my first engine build and I am feeling very good about it. Here is a few pics of it buttoned up!
Out with the old!

I like the colors on the engine. I would have waited till I had that timing cover on before bolting down the head though. That head gasket part above the timing cover can be tricky as it is easily pinched and leaks oil like you wouldn't believe if it's damaged.

I followed the FSM when putting the head on and it requires a small bit of RTV at the two front corners of the head/block. I have to take the head bolts out because the motor is at TDC and the cam/rockers are not in the proper position as it sits... I will probably do the timing chain when I re-do this because i am also waiting on a set of keys for the crank. The rebuild is finished i just need to put the oil pickup/pan, do the timing chain, and start putting accessories/manifolds back on.
Thanks guys!

I realize what you are saying now. I will be taking the head off tomorrow and installing the timing cover first. I was wondering if I should be worried about the re-manufactured head I have regarding the clearance between it and the timing cover if, it has been shaved at all.

It has been a while since i have worked on the engine due to new projects but I am back to work on it!
Got the timing set up and am about to start bolting up accessories!
