turbominicooper Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 So u reckon do bearings and put fhe in as it is then do pistons /rings at a later date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) no get some rings in your local motor factors 4efe/5efe rings best to do it now then , there cheap to get , if they say no tel them for the corolla 4efe they will do just fine make sure to gap the rings Edited May 31, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yuh sound and what's the deal with running the engine I after? 500 miles on running in oil then re torque and change oil?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 no need to retorque with our stretch bolts !!!! there not designed to be retorqued first oil has to come out first 100km to get rid of left over particles , then go tru your running in process Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Happy days. Do u recommend changing head bolts on rebuild or is it safe to re use old ones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 i have used them extra before the 1s in this engine i have used 2x if you do make sure the threads of the bolt are clean and also clean out the threads in the block make sure there empty you dont want them half full of oil giving false readings when torquing ( airgun and brake cleaner :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
