What kind of pistons did you put in? If they are forged...where did you get them?

to be completely honest, I'm really not sure. When I had brought the car to my machine shop, he said he had a connection and could get me all the parts.



hes done great work for a lot of people i know and he is one of the best machinists around so i trusted his opinion and didnt ask questions.



but no, they arent forged.

ok guys sorry for the wait!



ok so i finished her up and she actually started up first try. i was very surprised.


anyway, engine sounds great but I'm still having a couple issues, I have a speed sensor thats not working, I need to swap a motor mount (anyone got a spare front mount?) and an exaust leak.


The exaust leak will be fixed very soon but other than that shes ok. I'll put some pics up in a bit. she making me angry right now cuz she died in the rain and there is no power getting to anything now... Figure its a fuse, maybe you guys can help me out...

I told you to plug in the speed sensor, it's just not plugged into the top of the tranny.
The front mount is about $40 IIRC from toyota

check the fuses and also check the battery cables and alternator wires.
All the grounds too.

i did plug in the speed sensor, its still not working. did check battery cables and alt wires (especially my "trouble" wire/plug.

ok soo I went back into the wiring and went through everything.

every ground, ecu, fuses, relays...


I pulled out the good ol' multimeter and found a drop in voltage at the ground on the tranny. So when I went to unbolt it I noticed that it was pretty tough to move. Turns out it was all corroded from a certain amount of clutch fluid being spilt on it or something. So i cleaned it up, put on some corrosion protection and she started up...


weird thing is...


now my speedo works again(?)


i wont argue though, now all i got is that exhaust leak and the motor mount.


ill be posting some pics and some some sound clips once the exhaust is all set.

How much did it cost to get the crankshaft lightened and balanced? I heard that it usually costs about $1500

ooooo, I dunno man. I guess it would depend on the machinist and whether or not you pulled it out the the block for him.


-new pistons, rods, rings and bearings (oversized)
-Cylinder bore
-Deck cut
-honed
-crank; ground and balanced
-repainted block and valve cover and other various parts
-reassemble block


he did all this for $796.... I guess it just depends where you go
