daveEP Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) UPDATE!!WELL minor set back today and a right kick in the balls tbh lol. firstly. i got my car runnin sounded mint no rattles knocks etc.!!! :). but about 10 secs later i see water bubbling up between the mani and head i thought not good and turned it off. checked my nice new oil and there was water in it. gutted. my first thoughts were the gasket was on the wrong way up but after looking back on pics i reliesd it was on right. time to strip the head back off now get a new gasket & head bolts witch i should have done to start with "supid fuck" and get it all done up and try again. here's a vid of it firing. never had lamda in!! ul see the smoke lol http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh640/davidsmillie2300/video-2012-11-11-15-00-11.mp4 any comments welcome.

_shaun_ Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 bad times worth checking the throttle body pipes are on the right way aswell cause that a pretty common error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveEP Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 would that cause water to leak from the exhaust ports tho? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 doubt the engine would run at all if u done it but if it did dont see why it wouldnt push water out the exhaust ports id certainly check it first as it takes 2 secounds before i went and took the whole head off again http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?67023-Throttle-Body-Pipes-* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveEP Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 update!!so i went down to the car earlyer and had a rout about. started it back up and same again. . time for another strip down. got the inlet & exhaust sides off, cam belt, fuel rail & injectors. minor set back but will get there in the end. next on the list. head skimmed, new head studs, new gasket & new oil.
