Minor updates... wanted to get the projectors and C-One replica installed today...

Fitment on the bumper was decent, not oem fit by any means, but its what I expected given what was paid for it.

These I have. The wing was just soft-mounted for pics - as in just sitting on the hatch, if you recall earlier in my build thread, I have 404 sides and TRD rear spats to install as well.

... and the "fart-can" is leaving me when I get the new exhaust system installed for the 3SGE.

Was thinking a HKS Carbon TI if they still make 'em... but I doubt they do.

Looking good! Once you get your 3S in there, it'll be a whole new car.

Very nice Jeremy! Can't wait to see the car at its finished result with the plans you've told me.

Thanks Micheal. I have a new-found inspiration thanks to you.

Thank you for the TRD Wing!

Overdue update!

The rebuild has begun. Slow and steady...

Head torn apart, mating surface of the head has been lapped and ready to go for a metal headgasket:

The block, all reassembled and lapped the surface as well. Waiting for the head...

Yes, I don't lurk here near as often as I should. Probably because when we were getting thread spammed I turned off all my notifications, and now I can't seem to get ANY.

Update:

Engine is almost back together. Just getting some parts cleaned up/powdercoated before I can proceed.

Valve adjustments are done and very compliant (yay!)

Cometic Metal Headgasket is installed and torqued to 60ft lbs, as per the specs on the ARP head bolts.

Timing assembly is all back together, and its looking like an engine again!

PICS:

- Nice clean head with new cometic valve stem seals installed, then shims and buckets reinstalled.

- ARP Headbolts installed and headgasket placed.

- Torquing the bolts

- Timing assembly.... assembled!

- a 3SGE powered MKII? ... yeah I don't think so...

- VID of the christening! It's official now... no turning back.

Have you started to second guess your work yet?

it drove me nuts when I was building my 3s. I would always wonder things like 'hmmm did I really align the piston rings properly?'.....after I had the pistons installed

documenting everything, taking pics/vids and placing white paint dots on bolts that were properly torqued was the only way I could keep myself from redoing work haha

Yes, I second-guess myself all the time.
Especially because this project is taking such a long time from beginning to where I'm at now, half the time I can't remember what bolts came from where.

Luckily I have the 3SGE blue book from Toyota, and an engineering friend that has fully rebuilt a plethora of engines in his life time. Including that fully built MKII Celica-Supra you can see in the background of one of those shots. He is a wealth of knowledge and is very precise about everything he does.

He made me lap the head and block with an enormous lapping stone for a total of about 10 hours, just to get the mating surfaces PERFECT for the metal head gasket. With his guidance, shop, and help I can do no wrong.
