^^ list of toyota engines to pick your part for

Does it really need new rings ? Does it burn oil ? Low in compression ? Low oil pressure ?

My thought would be that since your only planning on using it for a short time would to use new gaskets and give the head a freshen up.

This is what i did with my old 3t and drove the car for about other year or so till a front brake caliper seized, the bottom raditor hose blew, the heater core got hole in it and i traded it.

does now, coz i broke one , but i just kinda pulled off so it could be broken to start with.

 

well thats what i'm telling meself

Want a cheap rebuild - barter.

 

Old man swapped a 4.5 diff we were not going to use for a set of over size pistons, Hastings rings, and rods for a 4K.

 

I got my I on a 4K at work that has never been fired in its life.......

thats my style :cool: , but the limited amount of WA members the only people to trade with like dan, lappy, TWINCAM87, Mitch, madrolla68 and the other jounior sedan boys(sorry if i forgot any one) . And i don't think any one has 3T parts laying around

 

 

big shout out to dan for the engine trade, got it in last week and i'm spewing :jamie: (coz it running better than ever :lol: )

 

 

why did i paint it yellow, it's frigen hard to keep clean

Haha, no worries man.. thought the yellow would be a bitch to keep clean, whats it in, your kesev? And naaah, no 3T bits lying around my place :jamie:

i know someone has probably said this already but i just got a full rebuild kit priced for my 3tc and its about 600 bucks for everything including oversized pistons, anoother 100 bucks for the acid dip for the block and it to be bored, so there's 700 bucks for me and i can also get the head checked over for free, but i got a rebuild kit priced with standard pistons and its about 550 ish, so i don't know how much cheaper without pistons it will be, but.. u will be very lucky if u can get a rebuild kit without pistons, unless u wanna buy everything sepereatly, but u never know they could have something like that

 

Cheers sean

i had to bite the bullet and spend $55 on the ACL ring :P

 

i'm getting the head done for $110, and the gaskits and oil seals are costing $45.

 

so my cheap ass rebuild cost me $210 :P so a little over budget

did you get it honed?

Caws if you didnt you'll have the engine open again pretty soon....

cause the rings wont wear in

did you get it honed?

 

should have said so before.

 

Thanks madrolla68 for the horning and advise, your a top bloke :P

 

Thanks everyone for your advise too. :)

 

 

btw i found out why this 3tc lacked power and was giving a kiss of smoke. some one put the compression ring and oil ring in all lined up!!! :P
