Bean Bandits Levin 'Globetrotter'

So here goes pictures as promised.
@oldeskewltoy: I do have a different part number indeed, guess they packed in the wrong one when I ordered many moons ago. Mine are VS-T6SM and are most probably the right ones for their guides.

All pictures clickable for bigger versions.

Comparison pic of the Supertech (top) vs OEM (bottom) and the leftovers bag (seals and my set of 8 1SZ-FE test lifters 5.12mm)

seals fitted / springs and retainers fitted / almost done


deliberate use of assembly paste is on purpose as my crank is still in Switzerland and wont be back 'till February so the head needs to be stored.

Meanwhile I need to clean the cam covers, block and other small parts. Have the block machined for the new pistons. Measure the correct bearing sizes to order those in which will be a while. Last but not least finish the wiring for the ECU. Spring should be fun

On another note I'll be moving again in summer to another country and the fate of my AE86 has to be assessed once more. I'm pretty sure that I wont be allowed to drive it on the road there (not allowed to tell where that is just yet) but will see if I can take it with me non the less. This would give me ~4 years with the car off the road and therefor ample time to restore it bottom to top and front to back. Else it'll go back to Switzerland and with loads of headaches and bureaucracy shenanigans will try to make it my holiday car. Both options have there pros and cons although so far I prefer option 1.
