The Raven Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 What exactly is a non-specialist? Do you mean a guy that's never rebuilt an engine or one that's not doing Supra's day in day out?? As if the 2JZ is some mythical engine that works differently from the others?! They all have manuals, parts and tolerances. Follow the guidelines and you should be golden. I used one of these and they fitted a headgasket on the wrong way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 And following that logic, look where it has landed the poor guy. By definition, sure any mechanic should be able to do it, but I would only ever trust whatever car I had, with a specialist with the aim to reduce risk. Again - Luiz says he's taking it to a guy that did some other work for him, whom clearly he trusts to be competent. This is what you need, competence, not brand / model specialists.

Alex Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Let me guess no one will be happy till he's shipped the car to SRD and SRD alone. Whatever, he's made his choice, has guarantees around the work so if the guy F's it up the first time he get another go free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the OP and everyone reading will be happy once the car is working, no one likes to see these difficulties. You are naming SRD? I only mention a specialist, have you got a bone to pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Guys, I believe that when I include the transportation fee and the higher labor fee's I will be paying 6 to 7k to get the car running, over here will only be 3k including all parts and machine work. Also what I am really looking is for somebody local that really knows the car, for future service work and trouble shooting. I wont pay a dime till the car is fully tested and run in miles completed.

If you happy with the deal then thats great news Portugal and Spain have too many great driving roads to have a Supra that you cant use. Good luck on the build and keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) If the block is OK renew the two bolts on the main cap that houses the thrust washers. If the crank has been hammering they may have stretched or have suffered none tension stresses. Bolts are 90910-02104 Edited February 6, 2015 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crank has been hammering they may have stretched or have suffered none tension stresses. Will I need a new modine or can I just skip it all together and go direct to oil cooler?

If the crank has been hammering they may have stretched or have suffered none tension stresses. Do you have on your notes the torque spec for the ARP L19 Rod bolts? Also confirm ARP head bolts torque? I guess it would be a good idea to measure all of them to make sure its not stretched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If you are putting an oil cooler on it I suppose you could just nail it on from the start. As for the Modine a lot depends if the thrusts are basically intact, or well chewed. Always safest to replace, but the oil strainer pick up gauze looked remarkably clean, I am guessing not much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Rod bolts 0.006 inch stretch. Head stud nuts 80 ft lbs Both using moly grease as lubricant on threads and under heads / shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If your builder doesn't have a stretch gauge I would *SUGGEST* 50 to 55 ft lbs with moly lube. But he might want to check with ARP. There are also specific handling issues with L-19 alloy steel he needs to be aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am waiting for photos but the mechanic told me that after taking the motor apart it looks like it's a lot worst then expected and recommends a new motor and we are only able to re use the rods. He is going to take tot the machine worker to see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good luck with this. Regardless of what other people say about who what and where etc, as long as the end result is you get the car you want working, that's all that matters.

Brazil Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I think we will be taking apart my other block and having a look at it; since after the engine failure we never looked inside and the engine was switched off straight away.

Brazil Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ok guys, this is the results of opening up the motor... Is it possible from the photos for you guys to tell me if its possible to rebuild this motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
