IJ.;1484126 said:To paraphrase The Oracle from The Matrix I hate to bring good people bad news Mike, I learnt by accident after trashing my original mint GE block by over torquing the bolt
(could never understand why it had horrible blow by on the dyno at even low boost)
Also for the belt tension just buy a fresh spring from Toyota (they're cheap) and let it set the tension per the TRSM then pull the bolt down to 36 ft/lbs and you're good to go.
Could any less than 36 ft/lbs do the trick IJ, or does it have to be done up that tight?
In regards with your experience with the #1 cyl wall warping.
