Engine rebuild: tools required and how to go about it
Tue, 18 February 2003 07:08
Well i have just picked up another 6mge and the engine builder i was going to send it to is busy for a few months.
The charges were alittle more than expected, so i was wondering how easy/hard it is to rebuild a motor. I beleive that pulling it apart would be quite simple, but putting it back together is the hard part.
In the process i was looking at having the head ported etc.
So what tools should i be looking at to do this myself and what other tips can you guys recommend?
i have a supra manual but im not sure how specific a 6mge is compared to a 5mge ie. different torque settings??
If infact the pistons are domed i dont really want to touch the bottom end, or should i do the bearings and rings etc?
can any one give me a ball park figure for gaskets bearings and piston rings??
Any other tips? ive noticed there is alot of oxidisation in the cooling system
thanks alot guys!
Glen.
btw, the engine is painted red....is this a sign of anything at all, the under side of the manifold isnt so perhaps an aftermarket thing???
