That's what my 1 horse town of a machine shop had.
Which was why I did my block as I did,
By the time I found someone with the right machining tools.
It took them over a month to do my head.
So I lapped my own block.
My N/A hung with a mits 3000gt till 3rd gear.
I saw no reason to hammer on it.
This was with a sick HG right before the change.
Now the cars stronger but has to be dialed in.
I have a few other things going on with my engine right now
keeping me from driving.
But I'll get through it.
I'm slow off the line because I want my ride to last.
Everynow and again I pop her back real good but not very often.
I enjoy this car on back country road type of drives.
Not so much straight line.
Would you be able to hole shot if you had the new clutch?
I replaced mine last summer with an o'riellys oem.
Sorry. It was a cash flow call. That clutch was $150
I'll have a real one located and on order before this one takes a dump.
I did this process Spread out over 2 weeks.
If you half a$$ it. You could have problems.
This isn't the best way of doing this.
But it can be done. How long will your new hg last?
IDK. Depends on how anal you are and wether or not you rush through it or spend some real time doing...
I have a metal work back ground with pratt & whitney.
I don't mean to be rude. But If I can grind welds to match parent metal for apache helicopters and f 18 fighter jets.
I think I can do a reasonable job. I'm pretty anal.
I wouldn't tell everyone to do it.
But if a guy has his mind...
See Senior. A level and some feeler gauges.
If you really take your time and do it that way and do it right.
Wear each sheet of paper before change. Keep it as smooth as possible.
Use figure 8's from the top to the bottom of the block. Back and forth and don't linger in any one spot...
When I got to the replacing the starter portion of my build.
The dealership was less expensive by $15.00 than all of the standard chain parts houses. My 1st stop after the dealer is O'riellys'.
But I always try to replace any thing within reason with toyota oem.
I'm just goofy like that...
Sorry guys.
But I have to ask.
Why the asian oil pump over a toyota oem gte pump?
That seems like you may be rolling the dice with something you may wish you hadn't ?
