Right a little update went to fit the head studs today and hit a problem straight away i didnt realise that the ARP studs from the surpra had to be the mains ones for the head on the 1GFE engine so i got another set order and they will be on there way tomorrow!
Also today checked the block over as its been 5 months since ive seen it so give it the once over and scraped any old gasket or muck off the top and bottom, also cleaned my threads out.
Tomorrow i will be fitting the mains ARP studs and bearing so the crank shaft can be installed.
After this i will get the pistons in with the new bearings and rings and start on a few ancillaries.
Ill get lots of photos so watch this space not the best of starts i know but its never plain sailing lmao
