    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    I want to, but I can't afford any expenses that I dont need to get my engine running, and considering I have 0 axial play, and minimal radial, I'm good until I buy a real turbo, not a CT26 :D I hope I don't regret saying this publicly but I expect to have the engine dropped in on the 31'st...

    Sneakypete's Bulletproof Powerplant Build

    You'll be fine with .040 over pistons, lots of people do it You obviously already know about the disadvantage, not enough space between the cylinders, the advantage would be not having to source a new block

    Reverse engineering our engine - Solidworks

    Thanks Luis :) Yeah that is the version I am using. The crank is going to be simplified a little bit, after all it would still be machined after they make it! It isn't turning out to be too hard though... I'm making it as a sub-assembly with all the journals and weights being their own...

    Engine rebuild help!!

    I'm not making this up guys, Clevite still markets and sells the 77's, but they don't make them themselves anymore, so they AREN'T 77's! Unless you got a really old batch ;)

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    Got some more parts from Toyota today, as well as my Injectors! They were within 3% before, now all within 1% :D And my turbo appears to be in better condition than I expected, so everything is moving forward as planned!

    Reverse engineering our engine - Solidworks

    A little bit, that's basically the picture I already have from my crank lol Thanks though :) If someone has more of a side profile, so I can see the different shapes of the counterweights, that would be awesome!

    Engine rebuild help!!

    ^ What He said, also: In my opinion the #1 rule when building an engine, is be organised. Take things apart in order (follow the TSRM) and put all the bolts in their own bags and label everything! Label what cylinder everything comes from and keep it all in order. And definitely don't buy...
