BAHAHA it was all part of my (not so smart) master plan...

Thanks, i am definitely taking my time on the assembly of the block. ESPECIALLY the head, i think i will have my hands full.

>

haha, last time you saw me we were on the twistys *ahhh good times*

definitely have more pics soon, just please dont give up on me this time guys!

damn mario i didn't know you had a 3sgte !!

haha, Keri i knew i would be hearing from some of the Texas crew soon.

Yeah, i failed to mention that i had one laying around the garage when we were at the meet.
Hopefully, i can get the wiring off my car this weekend and get it sent to Tweak so i dont have to deal with the headache!!

Also hope you wont mind if I ask you a few questions throughout my swap??

Sorry bro - not everyone wants everyone to know

LOLZZZ... some people want it to be a surprise. But not me, i would rather have all the help i can get.

Whens this thing supposed to be complete? I cant wait to see it in person, maybe we can go for a ride like we did in Kerri and Joes car!

Hurry!

>


LOL, well its a very slow process to say the least... unfortunately. Hopefully i will have it all put back together and running by the end of the year. Its really hard to do this kind of stuff working 30 hours a week and taking 15 hours of school.

But not to worry, we can def go for a ride. I would even let you drive ( just dont bash) haha!

>
You say that now
Good luck - LMK if you need pics of anything, hose routing etc.

>


HAHA, yeah im probably talking out of my ARSE!! lol.

Most likely i will need pics of hose routing, especially since most of mine were cut!

Anyways, i have a small update and i will try to get pictures up tomorrow or the next day of the progress. But we have successfully honed out the block and replaced old pistons with new. Next weekend the head is coming apart to make sure all this hard work wont be for nothing!

^^^NP - Let me know if you need anything^^^

Ok so i have some pictures of the finished block, and i have started to break down the head. Unfortunately i have not had time to upload the photos as testing has been killing me at school.

Death you have PM...

Mario right? I cant wait till you get this thing hooked up! Dude besides Kerri and joe your the only one from DFW that comes to the Texas meets.

Keep us updated!

Yesssir, remind me of your name? the only people i can really seem to remember their names are Kerri and Joe (and i might be wrong be wrong but DEATH i think is Matt). Yaah, i noticed the DFW area is kind of LACKING in the 6gcelica scene lol. Everytime i see one its either beat to hell... or if they are running they are struggling to go..

IT SICKENS ME


UPDATE***

BUUT, i have pictures today. My comp decided to work with me this morning..

Work that has been done:
-new pistons
-hone block
-new oil pump
-new water pump
-new seals

Clean.

Maaaan, do i let this thread get thrown back into the cob webbs LOL! Well heres a small update, just so i dont fall off again, but its just been too cold outside to work on the motor (pretty lame, but when your used to 80 degrees, 50 makes my hands feel brittle LOL) . Anyways, when i was trying to remove the cam shafts to look at the valves and lifters, i broke a cam shaft bolt (if thats the correct name). I have oredered a couple from the local Toyota dealership and am currently awaiting its arrival. As i wait for the arrival of the bolts and other parts that i ordered , all i can really do is take apart my car in its current state (still sitting and collecting dust) and really see why my 5s siezed. Thats all i have for now guys, but everything is coming along SLOWLY, but still coming together none the less.

Hopefully when i get back into town from this christmas break i can really begin to piece the motor back together. I will have pics up soon of the most recent progress.

PS. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
