How come you don't throw in some upgraded internals in that block right now? It looks like you're about to throw some boost into that car pretty soon. If you have the motor torn apart and on the stand, I would recommend you put something beefier in there while you're at it.

i baked them at 200 degrees for 10 minutes and took it out.. started to pry it with a flat head on each corner but careful and do it slowly or else you'll crack the lens. then just pop off the amber then back track and make sure you seal it good and air tight! wouldn't want to redo them 
yea i was planning on just building the top end and probably get new rings for the bottom cause ive read about on how 2jz bottom ends are almost like bullet proof.. plus my goal is not on power just around 400 rwhp enough to keep my drift going on dry at track events. but what do you suggest on me changing ? thanks!

very nice. cant wait for some updates! you should def swap out the rod/piston. vvti rods are pretty weak if youre on a budget just throw in some TT internals. also looks like youre using an alum. crank pulley i suggest you stay away from them as they are not harmonically balanced. stick with oem or ati, fluidamper, etc... gl
going to paint the valve cover tomorrow! couldn't work clutch pedal/master cylinder today cause it was too cold
