so after a bit got strapped down and got to business.
So thankfully the dyno guy allowed me to personally make some tweaks/checks/adjustments while trying to tune this mfer. i finally tapped my wide band into the aem unit. brought a filter for my iaac unit. did my best to adjust the idle screw on the throttle plate.
things were going well then hit a skid mark when the dwell started acting up.
my GUESS is that I blocked off the pcv valve and that might had something to do with it? or the rings were going out in the first place. it's weird because right after I got my head done I had a suspicious oil leak only in the intake manifold?
there was no oil in the pistons or on the spark plugs? ?
The head guy told me it was normal for if your rings to go if they are weak AFTER a head job.
Jim - sorry to hear about the mishap . Probably they were just on the way out . You had ventilation on your valve covers so taking out the PCV should not be the cause. Bad crank case pressure will blow your FMS and other seals.
bumppers. getting back in the Toyota swing of things. I need some .20 over pistons and forged rods. also I'm going to get a clutch and yoke so I can install this r154 that has been sitting for a few years.
I see your still at it. Sorry about your mishap man. Stay positive, as you have displayed, and it will be soon over. I remember when I first heard mine run after all I went through. I couldn't have done it with Cartmill's help.
so with the help of gerb I was able to get my hands on the pistons I needed.
.20 over cp's.
I also opted to get some eagle rods, after buying/flirting with the idea of using rods from cx racing(took them back because the rod bolt was way smaller.
so it's been a while between last year and now when the motor blew up, and I acquired another s13 which has since ben totaled by some dumb ***** and I reinstalled my rb25 which has also blown up due to a rod knock.
now I had time, so within 3 weeks I took my soarer out of service, swapped head and all the parts on the 2j block, swapped to the r-154 tranny I've had sitting for years and violia!!!
so first order of business was stripping the 1jz, all the stuff came off and I have it for sale for $200.00
then I snagged me a nifty cart to haul off the stuff that needed to be power washed!
so finally got the block and stuff back from the shop, oh it was a happy day, everything was so fresh and clean.
-BLOCK WAS DECKED/BORED TO .20 OVER
-HOT TANKED
-CRANK WAS POLISHED/BALANCED
-PISTON RINGS WERE FILED/INSTALLED
-RODS WERE BALANCED/WRIST PINS INSTALLED
TOTAL BILL $870-930 (HAVE TO LOOK AT RECEIPT)
