Got the spoiler mounted today....92-95 lip spoiler...Thanks for the pics Steve







The workstation....Patiently awaiting for parts to arrive....so I can start rebuilding the engine

 

Spoiler looks good bro! After we talked, I think I'm going to build one side of my bench higher to put larger things underneath...good call! Keep the updates coming.

Ryan - are you tearing the engine apart ? Or just replacing HG,oil & water pump...

 

Nice build man

 

Yes I am going to be replacing all of the above you mentioned(HG, Water Pump,Oil Pump, Valve seals, Rear main seal...etc) I have purchased the complete 2jzgte gasket kit....I also have a set of ARP head studs to install as well..

 

Yes I made my workbench 38" high to accommodate more things underneath....its a little higher than standard but it makes it nice to work on as it is at arm level...

 

I made my work bench about the same height. Makes more sense to make room underneath and keep your back from hurting from looking down so much. Glad you liked my wrapping job on the studs. LOL

 

It makes it much easier....Funny part about my workbench....I measured the height of the engine stand when it is put together in the store and based the height of it to make sure I could fit it underneath when not in use....I Knew I was going to do the swap at some point so I was prepared!!!

 

Thanks.........

 

Waiting for parts to get here....

Did manage to get the engine put on the engine stand.....Was a little surprised on how high it was

Also for those of you who are looking or wondering what bolts to use here are the specs M12x1.25x80 (12mm bolt size, thread pitch of 1.25 and length of 80mm)

I also picked up some washers to space it out...3 on each bolt worked perfect

Added a some extra support in the front as a precaution...The stand is rated for 1000lbs but I feel better with the 2x4 in the front

 

looking good, haha yeah I never trust those things either I have a jack stand under my crank pulley just in case someone decides to lean on it or run into it or something.
