Few Pics of Engine Rebuild

[rebel2k4]

No kidding, 1uz all the way.

[GotF2TinGD]

no way ! 2JZ IS THE [shizzle] !

there is already a V12 from japan made by toyota comes out in a limo or somesort

1UZFE is just the flavour of the week i bet... next week it will be the Rb26 :P

[sry_not4sale]

Cylinders... pfft Rather spend that sort $$ on a rotary engine...

Tyler, are you just planning a rebuild with everything kept more-or-less standard?

For the most part, yes. Only going to go oversized if need be. Besides a little P&P on the head and IM.

well, the 20b could probably make more power than the 1uz just from having the same displacement, and more rpm capability. 7k is the sensible limit for the 1uz, and 9ish the upper border with work done...

v12, no [shizzle], i'll be looking into that!!!

no [shizzle] indeed, i take back the 1uzfe comment, and replace it with

1gzfe is the winner, i'm thinking 500+hp with no turbos.

5 litre 12 cylinder, 80mm stroke drool drool...

i want one...

i'm not into flavours of the week, it just comes down to stroke, and displacement, theres a reason ferraris have lots of cylinders...

Kill me for not measuring first I sorry you guys dont have the luxury of picking up the phone and having parts come to you. Unless Sick still has his job at the Turbo place.

I didnt see any T-Gauges or ball gauges in your 'rebuild' Sick, why didnt you measure?

Finally got my shlt back from the machine shop. I forgot to get a pic of the IM, I'll get one tomorrow.

All the goodies for the rebuild:





Coming back from the machine shop:




P&P Head along with a 3 Angle Valve Job:





Plastiguaged Main Bearing Caps:




Dont worry, I wore gloves while handling the bearings. Just didnt want to get the camera full of shlt so I took them off to take pics. We all know the acid off your skin isnt good for the bearings I didnt get pics of measuring the crank, but every journal was perfectly in spec Thankfully, wouldnt want to give any more money to my machinist.

Bottom Mains set into place:







The Pistons (well, one anyway):





I've got a question about paint. Who has used what too paint their blocks? I used DupliColor 1200 Paint on my VC and its already chipping off. I've heard VHT is pretty decent for block paint as well as Rust-O-Leum. Just wanted some input as what to use. I've thought about just getting a cheap powder coating machine from Harbor Freight for $100 but I'm not sure of the quality of it. Cant be too good for $100, you get what you pay for.

Those crank journals look beat-down, but it could be the picture. You didn't have your crank turned and or polished?

[tyler886]

Nope.

-Tyler

[SixSick6]

At least checked? They look scored to me

[fredio54]

run a finger nail or coin across them, it should be smooth, looks can be deceptive.

Which is why I said:

It still doesn't make much sense to add new bearings simply because plastigaue said that you're within tolerance. That's the fastest way to ruin/waste your whole investment.

[tyler886]

It does kind of looked scored in the plastigauge pics due to the First Lube shlt I used to set the bearing in place. On every journal it left the same 3-stripe looking marking. I wrote down all the measurements of the main/rod journals, those were perfect.

EDIT: If I remember, I'll mic a few of the rod journals in a few places to see how perfect they are. It amazed me!

[tyler886]

Mounted all the rings on the pistons today.
