Looks like the one you linked is the size it's been uploaded to Photobucket. Did you tell it to reduce the size ? You should be able to upload bigger pics than that.

Is there a way to change upload size? The picture is huge when put into photoshop.

I think Photobucket is shrinking the size of the pic because it's so big. If you shrink it yourself to something like 1024 x 768, then Photobucket will upload it as is.

Bought a lovely new helix clutch, water pump and new timing belt, being fitted to the moment.
Water pump stopped working properly - could be the reason why water temp was so low, best to change it so it stays reliable.
All being fitted at the moment - well it was untill the snow come and they had to close........... At least the car is in a garage not getting snowed on.

Is that back at SPC? Sounds like sensible work
Not sure why anyone would fit an engine without renewing all belts, tensioners, pumps etc...

No local place - a friend is the manager. The bottom pully was soaked overnight to loosen it as it was seized solid - even the 2x8mm threaded holes designed to push the pully off didn't help........
A genuine Toyota belt is going on not the cheap rubbish that was on it. SPC said there may have been a bit of slippage on the belt they felt the timing was 1/2 a tooth out, so this will solve that problem. At least I know a OEM part is the best way to go - only way to go with these engines. Got hold of an OEM water pump also, and sent the Bluerint back.
Fensport Organic Helix clutch and uprated preasure plate. No messing around.
