T2 MSW Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Now im stuck with the interior till I get some carpet I though I would get on with some jobs in the engine department. The 2JZ I have bought was originally from an Aristo ans has spent the last year or so in an S14.The oil sump and pan need changing so got on with taking it all off. Also cleaned all the surfaces up ready for the new sump to go back on which I still need to source As the head will be coming off Ive also taken most of the ancillaries offso the head can be removed, will be checking the condition of the bores but also to put in the L19 head bolts I purchased from Lee.

Rich.2211 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Next thing I need is a crank locking tool? Piece of wood inbetween one of the weights on the crank and the side of the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Ah! Get yourself some of this when you do. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOCTITE-5900-SEALANT-LAND-ROVER-STC50550-STC4171-DISCOVERY-DEFENDER-FREELANDER-/171041172820?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27d2d92d54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Got to be a better way to do it that that? There's a few ways to do it, but short of buying the correct locking tool it's the only way that worked for me. I even tried a £500 odd impact gun to no avail. Read my thread on it, may be useful http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?289950-Removing-crank-pulley-with-engine-on-a-stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 The england game was starting to get static so thought I would follow Rich's thread and get the crank bolt undone. Works a treat Front of the engine now stripped down, just need a pin for the cam tensioner and ill take that off. Not bad for a days work. Come back in and England have scored 2 goals WTF.

T2 MSW Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 So tonights little project, even though 2 of my new dash panels are almost perfect the other 2 are a mess. So I decided to rub down the two scrappy ones and ive ordered some of the Plastidip following Elis's thread. First coat of primer has gone one, will do a couple more before bed.

T2 MSW Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Or the rota force in gunmetal, just not sure on the offset on the rear, they only do the rota in a 10.5J rim so will an ET20 fill the wide rear arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Volk TE37's Not exactly the cheapest wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 BTW I have a grey carpet you can have for free.Its got some wear but should be fine with a clean. I'm in Leeds. I could post by Royal Mail but I'm not sure they take such things? I also have some black ink still in the shed too. I took the carpet out of my old supra and dyed a spare. Kept the original carpet in my shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
