Zak062's alltrac ***CS HOOD*** BIG 2 POST UPDATE 11-9-09

UPDATE 6/18/08

I dont know if it was bordom or me being sick of the oil leak but she went in the garage around noon yesterday. And after about 5 hours later, 3 1/2 hours of working, the engine is pulled. I broke my old record of 5 1/2 hours by 2 hours, yay. This time, it was all by myself









O, and i grabed myself a twin entry ct26 with an upgraded compressor for 90$!

 

i did replace the seal but my rear main was the wrong seal. So i have to replace it again.

 

o yea its fun. Very tireing but fun. I just hope everything goes right and stays okay after all this work.

 

i posting in toyrunners post, i hope it helps.

And yes, 1 1/2 hours drinking beer

 

Update 7/16/08

figured i would give a small update. Engine is still out of the car, i've been very sick lately so work has stopped. Its basicly ready to be thrown back in, just need to put the trans on(uhg) FYI, the twin entry doesn't work on our manifolds. I didn't plan on using it anyways, i just wanted to see if its possible, and its not. The way its rotated is off, i have pics to show later. Things to come in the future- custom 3" dp(fun), changing out 3" pipes to 2.5(freakin lag), install BOV(already welded to a pipe).

O, and before i get to fix it, i now have a fucking wrx in my garage. Im replacing the clutch, omg, i'll never work on a boxer motor again. For comparison, 3.5 hours to remove alltracs engine, 8 hours to remove wrx trans.

 

well it seems the site lost part of my project thread when it went down .

UPDATE 11/4/08

Im finaly home, i was 2hrs away working. Now i've got money and time for the trac.

I started by taking apart the 2nd gen block i purchased from 19celica90. The damn thing looks pretty good for sitting 5+ years. I cleaned it up and preped it for paint and realized i dont have any :doh: . So i'll paint it tomarow.

I bought the wheel bearing i needed for the driver front. The dude at toyota was freakin awsome. I called them up and when i said it was for a 88 alltrac they asked if this was joe. lmao. He gave me a discount to, 66$ for a 96$ bearing! I'll be putting it in tonight. Pics to follow.




pile of parts i've collected. The engine was missing some items but im not bitching for 50$

more parts


bottom shelf= for all nighters, top shelf= when things break

only a co2, dont freak out. just try and steal all my parts :evil:

 

im gonna start this post with a, i never replace a wheel bearing period. I figured my problem out and its my fault because I neglected to look up a how to in bgb.

So continuing on, did u know theres a snap ring that holds the wheel bearing in place? i didn't.....



heres the progress. i need a new snap ring so it wont be done tonight. I seriously pounded on this for 2 hours and screwed around with a press as well.

 

i got it done. only thing is i bent the dust cover by accident so it rubs. Im to lazy right now to bend it back. some other time, lol.





So i got a package in the mail


Before


After



And the progress on the block. All painted

 

package just arrived!



time to run to the store to buy some bulbs and then install

 

UPDATE 11/12/08

So got one of the headlights wired in an all. Looks damn sexy. Now to work on the rusted one :/ .

 

the gauge pod is beautiful. I got all my lights fixed, including my fogs. and i took her for a run.

thanks

UPDATE 11/30/08
The engine came out on friday night and went back in saturday night (thanks to 88st165). No problems while taking it out or putting it back in. Although, i had to put atf in the trans because mejiers doesn't sell 75w 80 trans fluid and its the only place open at 11pm. I took her for a little test run down the street and omg, it was amazing. it felt so nice but the clutch is heavy as hell now, lol. I also have the exhaust bolted up and mounted CORRECTLY, lol.





Its snowing now, so no test drives and no videos
