Toyota is your best bet to offer all genuine items as a complete short block motor, although be prepared to pay a premium! I doubt anyone on here will be able to find a brand new block. Best bet is to find a stock motor with tight bores then you can squeeze in the stock pistons.

Never heard of that before with a seal lol. Just because a headgasket is new doesn't maen it should leak gas ;) Take it back mate and say your not happy with the service.
-
How many cylinder heads you got to practice on and how bigs your wallet? lol. 60 bottom cut, 45 valve seat cut and a 30 top cut is a general idea. To get the exact angle will need a lot of time, patients and money.
-
Most probably the sump mate, shouldn't put oil in the engine until the sealent has had a few hours to dry.
-
The oil pressure will drop as engine speed decreases, just the same it will increase with engine speed. You checked for vac leaks? Cleaned the ICV?

Better get there quick buddy! With that caravan he could be thinknig of doing a runner

She looks like a girl I went to school with

The reason I went with Pauter was because I didn't want to notch the block, touching the material at all could induce stress fractures/cracks. Yes you can sonic test for these, but you won't ever find a problem until you are running serious pressures in the combustion chamber.

Meister do sell stiffer springs if you wish ;)
-
Thought they were £399 over here? Might of seen that price on TD website. They do the job but wouldn't be my choice of rod which is why i've gone with Pauter.
-
Both! LOL! Yeah can't see how one set would be more suited to the track, it's all about how the geomoetry is setup.

Or this one which is shorter with a different camera angle ;) -
Read a bad review on the mazda 3mps about them overfuelling as standard and you get carbon deposits behind the intake valves, when the deposits fall off they can detonate on the chamber and causes some serious damage! My mate also has one and they aren't a very good chassis, torque steer like crazy, probably won't be so bad with an lsd though.
-
Use a spanner mate, thats how I did it, remember a spanner has 4 sides to it ;)
-
Damn that's a lot! lol. Atleast it gets your build back on the go though!

I pay £1040 on a GT, 20 with 3 NCB
-
Glanza's are much more expensive to insure than GT's, thats probably about the going rate for a glanza.

-
Ah shit If you see one let me know bud ;) Don't wanna get one off egay for it to be a non genuine one.
-
Do you know if Toyota still do them mate? Yeah did think most of them would be sprayed and not genuine.
