Ive been away for a while so here is the update. After doing the DVD i have decided that the engine bay looked crap and needed to be sorted out. All the defects have been cleared and a nice new alloy airbox and new cooler piping have been made. Last week i took out the motor for a strip down and rebuild. Why i hear you say........why not. I have ordered new CP pistons as the ones in it are damaged from the oil line problem ages ago.... Changed the filler bottle for the Rad to a custom alloy one and now im just waiting on mods to the strut brace to be done. Pics soon.....

Got My head back late lastnight. Looks all nice and new now. The head has been drilled out to recieve the larger ARP head studs, new valve guides and just a general service.
    The rocker cover was also sand blasted and a new water fitting for the head was made with dash fittings for the turbo.

just a quick question, are there any physical differences between a 3SGE and 3SGTE head?
i wanted to put a 3S head on my 5SFE but i dont know if it will be a turboed motor For the benifit of using aftermarket camshafts and such, does it matter which 3S head i use? |

If you going to go to all the trouble of putting a 3s head on a 5s block just put on one from a 3sgte. Im sure there would be a diference but im not sure the specs.

QUOTE (b1gr3d @ Sep 10, 2008 - 11:40 AM)  update- NOW Well funny you should ask. I know its been a while (months in fact) but i have just got home from the seeing progress. My NEW crank is back. Its back from being Cryogenically treated with a few other little mods that im not saying much about at this time. I have also treated it to a new 5sfe block. I ordered a new gasket set today along with bearings steel head Gasket and a Gates Racing timing belt. New water pump also was ordered just for safety as i had boost in the water zone. Now all i have to do is pay for it all and put the bloody thing back together... I think thats about it for now. -------------------- 312whp with more to come.... |
