The Swapping procces. MR2 N/A is becoming Turbo (Part 2)

Hi again and let's move to another part of a swap :)
While my head was sent for a rebuild, I made some cosmetic works to engine parts, because they all looked really bad...
I painted my rusty heatshield and some other parts.

Head cover was polished (in this photo works are just in progress)

And cleaned intake parts and so on.

We decided to check the internals of an engine by ourselves and that was a mistake. But I will tell about it a bit later and now I will show some photos:

Pistons ant the rings looked in a good condition, but we were not right. As it will be known later, oil rings were overheated and not performed well.

Waiting a lot of cosmetic works...
In that time, the head were back from the service completly rebuilt:


3S-GE cams were fitted due to longer duration of them. To get most of them, I should fit adjustable cam gears and a piggyback to adjust a fuelling.    







Cosmetics works were going to the end. It took quite a lot of time to polish all with a sandpaper, then clean and paint. Block was cleaned with a brush, using a gasoline.
Painted block. Looks much better now.



Half of it polished. Looks better :)

It will be enough for this time and my next post will be about putting an engine in the place.
See you soon :)
