[doggy]

Got all the parts from Machine shop - and started on the engine assembly! FINALLY Whoo hoo!

And here we go:




Crank goes in:





Gaping for the piston rings... work that sucks big time - cuz if its too much - its too much




Friend of mine putting rings on - with huge fear Cuz it was sunday - and he was talking how its not good to work on sundays



Houston - we have a problem... All the parts came from machine shop balanced / weight aligned... well - afte we put all the rods / pistons in - we found out - that my GZE pistons DO NOT have cut outs for the oild squirters... Oh well - quick call around - i managed to get some acurate weight scale + some dremel took = now pistons are ready to go in again with some cut outs for the oil squirters



Here how much had to cut out to make some clearance



And finally - block is in one piece





New oil pump goes in:




Thats it for today Next thing - Corolla chasis goes back to body shop - for some extreme suspension updates

Mean while - i started to gather some stuff needed for my rolla Finally assembled engine to the max - and started to wait for the car to get back from the metal works
