#22 Celica Update : Engine Enhancement Part II

Some parts were sprayed too as it looks hideous

Jacked up the engine

Drain the oil first

Oil pan removed

It's rusty, oily and really ugly

Crankshaft, nothing unusual right?

Time to clean up the sump, then i grind it till the metal but somehow i managed to forgot to snap some pics

Meanwhile i only managed to snap the aftermath. This time using a high temperature local spray paint.. which really tell the differences between the import spray. With the price is slightly cheaper, its still NOT worth it.

Upon installing, i dont have any gaskets. So i opted for this v6 silicone gasket maker from Mercedes-Benz. This thing also used on the cylinder head cover.

Spread it evenly

Some bolts on and stuffs

The color combination is all right, but somehow it feels wrong to have a bright color at the bottom. But no problem, it will still looks gorgeous on the Celica.

Time to clean the valve cover after all the dirty works with this special spray

More update soon

Cheerio~

#22 Celica Update : Engine Enhancement

Hello readers, sorry for not updating and for some difficulties occured to my blog last couple of weeks. I'd like to change to .com rather than blogspot. So it would sound better and i can design my own stickers and distribute it around. Dont wait up, maybe it will take couple of months to do it.

Like usual, this topic is to show up my engine development, nothing much nothing serious, just some clean up for aesthetic purpose only.

I opted for this high temperature red wrinkle/coarse/sand alike paint. Which looks awesome!

Some new screws to replace the old one's

It looks a whole lot better already

Meanwhile i checked the ac pump . The catch is, if you can see a gear in there it means this engine originally supported with carburettor. But if there's nothing, it means this engine previously run on injection. However, my engine doesnt have anything so i assume the previous owner swapped to carb, thats why my car use a fuel pump rather than mechanical pump

Time to clean the engine with chemical, thinner , turpentine..etc

The whole process took me a couple of weekends, and this engine is really nasty! The thickness of the dirt was beyond my expectation

Anyway it worked out, so its time to paint the engine.

Forgot to snap the pics of the spray. Its is a high temperature engine enamel with ceramic. The ceramic can be feel by hands and it is better than a usual high temp spray.

There's no major process like overhaul or something, this engine is good enough since there's no leaking and no weird sounds. Its better to maintain it than rip it apart and rip apart my wallet too.

These are the screws i bought for the engine from Asia bolts & Nuts. All 100% stainless steel and recognised by ISO9001:2008 quality control. Some are allen keys which is used to really enhanced the looks of the engine.

Some installed

The engine mounting screws

Continue with part II

#21 Celica Update

A while ago i visited my Celica, but i didnt update anything cause the progress is really slow.

A single trip from my house to this paint shop would normally take me about 1 hour without traffic jams. But thats not a big hassle. My biggest probs is time.

But i do check on the car at some times, and this update was on last march.

As you can see, the exterior are mostly done and sprayed to random color. The reason is to see which color are suitable and to check for bodyworks defect .

Dont forget on the hinges too.

So last week i decided to send most of the exterior parts to be installed. Got myself a brand new front and rear weatherstrip.

I decided to take a look at my rear centre panel. My car is an original 1st model TA22 which came originally with flat lamp and the petrol filler is between the rear lights.

But the previous owner decided to convert it to bubble lights. The differences is on the centre panel, the flat lamp panel is shorter than bubble's. The curve is concave on the flat lamps, whereas the panel is flat on the bubble lamps , and the bracket is also different as the panel can be open and close to allow me to refuel the tank. The solution is, weld a piece of steel to make the panel flat to follow the shape of the bubble lamp. What a waste.

Here's other original stuffs.

Load in the car with the windscreen and all.

Here's the latest looks

Not much really, he went on with a second layer of cement to really close up the inconsistence of the bodyline.

The bodyline is really crucial on this process.

Next process will includes undercoat, and a bit more cement to really close up the gap. Base coat will prepare for a new layer of paint.

Hopefully will be ready within this month.

adios~
