Started by removing harness and intake


Just motor now


Removed head to inspect surface


Rust and corrosion from sitting for years, cross hatching still visible surprisingly


Started to clean surface and decided it needs more work. Found pitting on deck, the block requires more work than expected so it's time to go to the machine shop, but then I started thinking about rings and bearings..





Heres what its going in. Currently stock motor with w58 conversion, 272 regrinds, and pacesetter headers.



Will post current parts list when I upload the pics.

A good friend of mine totaled my old MX73 w/an NA 2jzge vvti installed (w/w58). I miss that car all the time. Super fun chassis, you'll love the combo!

yeah i love it, ive owned it since 12' my buddy also has a ge vvti in his x73 so its not uncommon. My other buddy just finished his 1j swap also. Cant wait to take it to the track man!

Inspected crank for anything loose, foreign objects, and metal shavings. Check.









Removed head and bottom end. Hardware is bagged and tagged, parts are separated and organized.









Main and rod bearings were in excellent condition still, no gouges or scratches which means the oil was maintained and properly serviced. Looking good so far! Crank is stored in the upright position until it's dropped off at the machine shop. I called a local shop and was quoted $500 for head/block resurface(for mls head gasket), cylinder honing, crank micro-polishing, crank and rod clearance inspection, and parts bath.





Removed cams, buckets, and valve springs. Again, keeping everything in order to make reassembly easy.

Here is the cylinder head removed before the machine shop





Got the head resurfaced, nice clean cut now. Now I'm waiting for the block, crank, and pistons to be finished and the word on the bearing clearances to see what parts will need to be replaced.



(bad phone quality) but you get the picture

Whats up everyone, heres the block decked, honed, and cleaned from the machine shop. All measurements are in spec and ready to be reassembled. Surface has been machined for mls head gasket

Crank is micro-polished and balanced. Hopefully it doesn't get knocked over in my garage.. Stay tuned fellas

good deal. I remember when I did my rebuild

fun times familiarizing the block from scratch

Here is what the piston looked like before, oil stained and carbon build up all over the place





This is after soaking in Chemtool really good stuff if you have the patience, roughly an hour on each.




Soaked some more and used a plastic bristle brush to help break down the carbon every 30 mins or so..





Here I used an old piston ring split in half to gently scrape the clumps of oil and carbon in between the grooves(found on youtube) it worked perfectly. No wire brushes were used to clean the pistons. They all came out like this and the oil holes are all clean and clear! Next thing to do is measure ring gap clearances on all cylinders and reinstall.
