Wow I think I may need to purchase a rotisserie dealy for my shop!!. Your project looks like a good one. Keep up the work and keep posting more pics!

 

sweet!

i would personally go with regular ol' BLACK. i'm a fan of the OEM look.

 

Nice progress! You are lucky to have those tools to work with!

 

Sandblasted my oil pan and cleaned up all my gasket surfaces.
Just waiting on paint and parts right now.

Here's a few pics to hold you till Monday.

 

I admire your work man! That engine looks awsome, I am thinking about buying 2jzgte from ebay, just so I can have something to play with and do something simular.

 

looking sweet!

nice choice on the black block paint doing the same with the pan?

this probably goes without saying, but make sure you get that pan 100% clean. i'd hate to see you get some scraped up bearings because a tiny clump of sand made its way into the oil pickup.

 

what parts have you ordered so far Ben?

and is that Will's engine block right next to yours? haha

 

damn thats clean.

 

So. Clean. Haha, keep it up!

 

I rinsed it out well already, but I didn't blast the inside of the pan since in not painting the inside. I'd hate to get paint chipping off inside my engine.

I've not ordered parts yet, but I'll be getting rings, bearings, valve guides and valve seals, ARP head bolts and a GTE head gasket.

And yeah, that's my old escort engine that Will is working on sitting next to mine. I'll have to show you a pic of the head, it was burnt through where the gasket broke. The head is trash on that engine now.

 

Found some scoring in the cylinder walls now that I got it all cleaned up. Going to have to bore to .020 over which means new pistons.






I just ordered some CP Pistons (#SC7460) and valve guides

 

Got the pistons and valve guides in the mail today. Thank you Nero of Titan Motorsports for the pistons and fast shipping. Also thank you to our good friend here on CL, Quicksc4, for my new BC springs and retainers that are in the mail.

 

Glad to see your progress, that engine turned out nice! That Ampro system is the TRUTH! Great choice on the block color!

 

Pistons getting ready to be changed.


Getting boring here.......




Then honing.....
