Crazy ~ its amazing how Jeremy and Mike can drive Amanda's matrix from Cali to AZ loaded with a 20valve 4AGEz and my 1st gen 3sge. WTF thats a 5hour hike and alot of quicktime stops.
Anyways ~ they dropped off my engine. ECU and Harness is in the 20v car of Jers and they will be back this follwing weekend for a tear down on the GE + valve and timing belt replacement with pulley on my 3sfe.
I regret missing Jers bday but, star wars tore me apart being the first to watch at 12:01am. The event threw off my sleeping habit so, I got major jet lag. We will party soon.
;D

Just some thinkin where to start is hard when funds are tight for this project to rebuild the low or top end first. Like the ships keel, it the first build. I will probably start with the crankshaft and get it balanced with new mains bearings $35 dollars each. Then with the connection rods with JE. The site I am looking at has combo sets with JE + Rods. I will be getting all my parts from here because the site is very well catagorized. www.importperformanceparts.net/

Well, I ordered the vavle springs and the black nitrate valves. Engine cherry picker is order too ~ I got it for cheap at 150 + 50 dollar shipping. Hmmm. Did i get it for cheap?
Worked on my 3sfe; measured valve clearence and order 3 shims.
Installed a new timing belt kit from Toyo Dealer ~ whole project cost me under 4 big ones. Both my pulleys had grinding feel to it. That grinding feel from those pulleys can make a noise as if you have a valve tapping or rod nock. I dont hear those symptoms now.
As for my 3sge ~ Intake manifold is off.
