That motor looks like it's about to go another 300k worry-free miles at the minimum.

Just curious because I'm not as far advanced as you appear to be, what are you doing with the valves and that plunger thing? I've never seen anything like that. I had the machine shop handle all that stuff when I did my heads so I'm kinda clueless.

 

it looks great, i wish i had the time to spend on mine like you did, i might just rebuild another one , just to have for a abackup, and i think i'll go about the same route you did.

 

THanks !!!!

NO No video , I havent installed it yet and dont know if I am .

I know I wasnt very clear that was about my 89 2wd pickup but I changed my signature a bit.


I am lapping the new valves to the old seats with medium and fine grit.

by any chance do you still got the part no. for the knock sensor wire ??

 

Fantastic set of pics. Subscribed!

 

Nice work! The pics are very helpful, thanks for posting that

 

The motor build looks pretty nice. Should last long enough for your son to drive it. which would be cool cause he helped build it.

but, a little post jacking if you dont mind. ill be quick.
Do you have a link to a write up or more pictures or something for your sub enclosure? That looks really sweet stuck in the side compartment there.

 

hi there, I was wondering if you have this done because I am wondering how you like this rebuilt kit from ebay...I am thinking of buy one to rebuilt my 3vze engine during the summer. thanks

 

I hope you document this aspect of your setup. I would love to see parts list and everything.

 

well some have had bad luck with them .. ive had good luck with them ,used them 3 times and so far so good this engine , my wifes 94 and one other ,all are still doing ok .

the 4runner this rebuilt engine went into is getting a paint job right now ,i'll post some pics of it when its out and anfd about.

 

i dont remember if i posted it on here or not.. all i used was an isolator i bought of ebay .. was pretty simple .

 

The pics you posted are great. I took a lot myself because I am swapping out mine with a reman.

I have the old engine out and sitting next to the new core. I'm a little lost at this point, I bought the factory set of FSM, but am having problems finding where it would guide me through assembling the new core.

My biggest questions are on what to put on the gaskets and best procedure as I switch stuff over. What keywords/sections should I look for in the books?

What type of stuff(silicon or other) should I put on gaskets?

Anyway, thanks for your post,

Martin

 

Great Pics!! These will definitely help on my 3.0 Rebuild.
So how has the ebay kit been holding up?

 

Thanks !!

Well still ok .. have a oil leak at the rear of the driver valve cover but everything else is ok.
