I havent been posting for some time now because I have been working on my engine project!
 Its just about done and I am sooo freakin amped to get it up and running again! I wanted to share my exploits with ya'll because I feel like you would be the ones to appreciate it... so i spun some bearings a few months back and that is what jump started this rebuild. I stripped it down, cleaned it up and got quite a bit of work done... -new pistons, rods, rings and bearings (oversized) -Cylinder bore -Deck cut -honed -crank; ground and balanced -repainted block and valve cover and other various parts  -complete valve job -new valve seals -head was inspected for wear -new oil and water pumps -timing belt -new gaskets -clutch -most new hoses -distributor -sparks -injectors.. I'm sure there is more but they escape me right now. But what was freakin awesome was that before the sparks, injectors, distributor and clutch.. I spent less that $1000! This will basically be a brand new engine for less than a grand and really, the work isn't that bad! I will be posting pix soon to show you guys what I've been up to, but i really just wanted to share it with ya'll while I'm getting through it

The exaust leak will be fixed very soon but other than that shes ok. I'll put some pics up in a bit. she making me angry right now cuz she died in the rain and there is no power getting to anything now... Figure its a fuse, maybe you guys can help me out... http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry661935 This post has been edited by nightryder: Apr 6, 2008 - 4:58 PM -------------------- The question is not how far.

I told you to plug in the speed sensor, it's just not plugged into the top of the tranny. The front mount is about $40 IIRC from toyota QUOTE The exaust leak will be fixed very soon but other than that shes ok.

Figure its a fuse, maybe you guys can help me out... check the fuses and also check the battery cables and alternator wires. All the grounds too. -------------------- |
