Wed, 28 September 2005 06:12 To properly assemble an engine you will need to test assemble and dissasemble it several times. When putting the rod bolts in when they are not on the crank you can measure the amount of stretch at a given torque reading on your wrench. The manufacturer of the bolt should be able to give you a stretch rating for it. Once you are doing your final assembly you can simply read the torque reading from the wrench and be fairly sure that it will match that of the strech reading. I would suggest that if you are serious about this rebuild pick up a book on the subject. You may find it hard to find one that specialises in the 3SGTE, but ones on the small block Chev (350) are usually pretty easy to find and cheap. The principals are all pretty much the same, but the tolerances will be different - Toyota would have reccomendations but if you are using aftermarket parts you will need to check their clearance specs too. An added bonus of reading such a book is that you will gain a good understanding of the processes that are available to you from the machine shop. That way when you walk in there you can ask for exactly what you want and are much more likely not to be ripped off or get something that is not to your required specifications. Regards, Terry.
