More hose work, Made the return line out of the regulator. Also installed and bled the clutch slave. No packages arrived today, so I'm sure I won't see any other fasteners or gaskets till Monday at the earliest.

I ignored this as an unintentional phrase, but be aware that we do have a strong black demographic in this forum, and they might not think it a harmless error.

Ok, Trooper is back up, and I also received my second T4 spacer, so I welded the two together. Then I received my wastegate, and test-fitted that to the manifold. Got as far as making one fuel line. Still have to finish the other two.

Love when Santa comes... Gave me some an fittings, so I can finish my fuel lines. Also brought me a fuel pump for my Trooper, which died a few days ago.

Is the engine on a stand? You can test compression on a motor thats not installed. You just need to hook jumper cables to the starter positive and ground, then trigger the solenoind with positive. You can also certainly do a leakdown with the engine out of the car. Other than that, You can look...

Once your engine is warmed up completely, hold the throttle open slightly, to get the rpms areound 2500-3000. any rattle-sound then? You see, my MR2 has slight rod knock, and when I start it cold in the morning, it knocks for about 3 seconds, then goes dead quiet until its fully warmed up. Then...

Yup. That's the only way.

Prolly at least what you'll need for a 7m crank. :)

That was the hardest part of rebuilding my CT26- that huge snapring.

Sounds like you'll have heat under control, for sure.

I used a strap wrench. But I haven't yet torqued it to its final setting. now that the engine is in the car, it should be a lot easier to do.

6m and 7m are indeed interchangeable. You definitely have a unknown crank, if it hits anything. Can you post a pic?

Wha? It's a 7m: it takes no shit, and has zero tolerance for shortcuts.

I call mine JetJock.

I bought an isuzu trooper for $600 and rebuilt the tranny. Been running great for a year, right up until this week, lol. Had to replace a bad fuel pump.

Damn, thanks Rollus for posting those, and a big thankyou to JetJock for taking the time to write them. They shed alot of light on the TCCS for me.

I like your plan. That's what i decided on. I knew from experience, that if i tried to just do upgrades while using the car, it would never get done the way i wanted. So i got a daily driver, and have taken the slow road to restoration. 1 year and counting, so far. Only 1/3 done.

I just bought an Egay special. Mine has a 21" circumference. I'm not sure if the smaller size is 19" or 17", but this one seems to fit well enough.

Well let's hope not, or I'm doing it wrong.

Hmm... Maybe need to get it coated too, then.
