Reply With QuoteYeah the bloke who got it rebuilt also decided to hook up a shitty ebay oil cooler relocation and set it up back to front and blocked the oil filter, I found out the car didn't have oil pressure in the head till after i bought it.
Wasn't that motor fresh before you got it? No luck man

Uggggghhhhhhhh
thats so rough man! hope the damage isn't too bad!
Car is sooo rad, shame about the motor but I'm sure it will come back better than ever
Motor is out, not %100 sure on what I’m gonna do at the moment, may get the 16v sorted out but I’m going to have a look at a 20v this weekend so that could be a possibility soon.
So ended up getting a 20v.
Came with ITB’s and Velocity Stacks, Brand new never opened Kelford Cams and Valve springs, hks timing belt, duel row pulley, 1zz coils modified and bolted onto SamQ adapter plate, SamQ ITQ air filter adapter plate, ITG air filter, SamQ dizzy cap, SamQ water kit with internal thermostat and sensor, he threw in a JDM T50 G box (unsure of condition) and tailshaft, along with a Bosch External fuel pump and swirl port surge tank and a box of random 20v parts.
As far as I’m aware these are the biggest cams I can go before I need to start modifying pistons and what not, pretty sure I just need to get a TRD .8mm TRD Head gasket.
Plans are to send the motor off and get cams and springs installed and maybe a freshen up, paint the engine bay, not sure what colour yet, might go with black again or white, then get rid of the razorback and get a standalone edu, thinking either Adaptronic or Haltech and get some extractors, not sure on which ones to go with though, was thinking maybe TRD Copies? Anyone have any opinions on extractor and edu choice? Thanks!
I probably would have bought that engine if i knew it came with all that stuff. Luckily for you, the seller was a total jerk on fb!
This will be a very tidy 71 once the 20v is in,jealous!I was also keen on the motor,I bought the t series and wilwoods.
Paint the bay white or a crazy colour I reckon
Yeah fingers crossed it's not fucked when I get it opened up, might just get it freshened up while it's out anyway, just to be safe haha.
