Rich.2211 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Coming along well now Good read for when i start to strip my engine down, wont be going into as much as you have, just tt headgasket and new belts for me then back together That's all I was going to do and when you say it, it sounds so simple! Reality in my case was that whilst it's apart I thought now is a good a time as any to do the stem seals, doing the stem seals required removing the valves and seen as they're removed I may as well clean the whole lot up and re grind them into the head. The plus side of cleaning it all up is there is less chance of built up carbon causing DET. It's one of those jobs which expands, expands and then expands some more. You will have to be very self disciplined to keep it a simple build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Valve stem seals out: Cleaning up the valves: Cleaning up the head: Re-lapping the valves (1 of 24 ): ARP head studs ready to fit: Full OEM NA gasket kit arrived including stem seals + 1.3mm OEM TT head gasket: I have also checked both the block and head for flatness. OEM tolerances I believe are 0.07mm for the block and 0.1mm for the head. I've measured both surfaces to be flat within 0.04mm. There may be less variation than the 0.04mm but I haven't got anything to measure lower than that at the moment. Either way, it's well in spec and ready to reassemble Edited June 18, 2013 by Rich.2211 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, I'm just a young lad without a hobby I tend to just cross reference against things I find online and the Toyota work shop manuals.

Nice work mate, massive respect to you for doing this yourself, without actually being a mechanic, this will be something I eventually want to do myself as well, i.e. take engine out and learn how to totally rebuild it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really quite interesting doing it to be honest. Find it super relaxing just chilling in the garage/shed with some music on and tinkering away. I've got no deadline so can do it at my own pace inbetween daily life and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too tbh, as long as you don't rush it, or aren't in any rush in the first place its probably quite good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Spent this morning fitting new stem seals and then rebuilt the head so it's ready to fit to the block now. Only one quick picture! I'm now trying to decided on a clutch and sorting out my fuelling (injectors/fuel pump).

Rich.2211 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Working now....looking good Cheers mate, clutch is my main concern at the moment. Really not sure what to go for, I'm thinking one of the Spec clutches Whfibitz sell as I've read a few bad things about the Competition Clutch items. More reading to do yet!

neil Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 6 paddle will take your power but not good for street use mate as had one in car mate if you got money hyper single if not it a hard one you want the one with a best of both worlds mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at a maximum of £500 for the clutch but in an ideal world would like to find something cheaper. I can live with it not being particularly street friendly as the car doesn't do many miles and doesn't sit in traffic often, however, I don't want to buy a clutch that's going to kill the box quicker than necessary. What clutch/transmission is yours mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all started out the same as your wanted thread.. black NA manual (SZ-R is the one to go for, has some nice bits such as leather headlining, LSD etc. and the later SZ-R's even had the six speed box. Mine is a five speed though) - - - Updated - - - Excellent build! Simular to mine but I took the bottom end out and replaced all the bearings my build is on facebook.

Rich.2211 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Stage 1 spec clutch from Whifbitz - Sorted - The Spec clutch Stage 1 for the five speed is only rated to 275ft/lb torque They do sell the other stages though to handle more torque. Shall have a look at them now. It needs to be a sprung hub from what I've read to give me a fighting chance of delaying the inevitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you for your £500 budget you should be able to get the stage 3/4 which are rated at 360ft/lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What clutch/transmission is yours mate? Speak to Biebs on here mate, whatever Clutch he's sourced for his 5 speed after an N/A-TT transplant, seems to be pretty darn good and I've been in his car and he gives it a hell of a lot of abuse, but he's only running stock boost around 0.8bar oh and I would suggest NOT getting a paddle clutch, you'd blow the W58 to pieces.
