Diesel GOAT: The one I wish Toyota would have built

[helipilot77]

The fly wheel one looks like a lot of work

It actually wasn't too bad.

Any progress

Any progress

Waiting on parts because Milner off-road is being difficult, and I am waiting to hear from a machine shop.

Did some more tear down today. Only things left are major internals (main bearing caps, connecting rods, pistons and ballance shafts)

The two shafts running longitudinally on either side and protruding from the front of the block with a gear on the end are the ballance shafts much like what would be seen on a 3rz-fe.

Make sure you number the pistons before they come out!

Cb shafts in a diesel that old, that's impressive!

I don't know if us Washingtonians are planning to go next year. We are thinking every other year. But who knows? I plan to have it ready by then.

I'll be numbering everything. Connecting rods and pistons

I am down every 2 years

Measured the crankshaft trust clearance and found it to be on the very tight end of the normal range. That was good to see. I picked up some plasti-gauge so I am ready to pull the caps and see how the bearings are.

[helipilot77]

I pulled my rod caps off tonight to check the oil clearances with plastigauge. Each of the bearings that I pulled off were pitted on the wear surfaces. After checking all the clearances I realized that someone had already been in the motor and had installed undersized bearings. Fortunately the surfaces of the crank and rod caps all looked perfect. From my measurements standard size bearings will bring everything back into righteousness.

[helipilot77]

I pulled the main caps and found the exact same story as on the rod caps.
Beautiful main journals
But scored and pitted undersized bearings
Once again standard size bearings will correct this.

I got a used Starrett Mic from fleabay. This will give me more confidence on my engine build than the Chinese dial calipers I've been using. It has 4 anvils with a 1",2", & 3" standard, which give it a range of 0"-4".

nice find! I have other things your welcome to barrow including torque wrenches!

[helipilot77]

 
You know I have a full selection of snap-on torque wrenches.

Well if you need anything else, just let me know. Your welcome to what ever I have.

[helipilot77]

I'd like your help putting her back together when the parts come in.

[kneedownnate]

Nice find!  I tried to find a decent starrett on ebay for some time but gave up after seeing what everybody bid them up to.

[helipilot77]

This one had a buy it now of $80.

[helipilot77]

Parts have shipped!!!

They should be here no latter than Tuesday!
Thank you Steve!!

1st post for me here.......great thread, some really talented folks here. In the middle of my own 1KZ-T (manual pump) swap into a 93 pickup. Really enjoying this thread......cheers!

Welcome to the board! Feel free to ask questions if you have any along the way. Did you convert a 1KZ-te to a manual pump or did you find one of those rare early factory manual pump engines? If so I'd love to see pictures of it, and hear how they handled the tach signal.

[helipilot77]

Parts got here a day early. Now to start assembly.

[zippo]

YAY!

[helipilot77]

Today Zippo came over to help me start building the motor. I first asked him to pull the crank and pistons so we could start assembling everything. As he pulled the the #2 piston out he brought it over to show me a chunk missing out of the side between the top and middle piston rings.
He also pulled out the chunk that had been bouncing around scoring the cylinder wall.

So as Zippo and I were discussing my options of boring the cylinders and ordering new oversized pistons and rings I texted a picture of my woes and worries to Steve who replied with "well I'll just ship you a short block" 

You are definitely my favorite English "bloke"!
I will owe you BIG!

[redneckcustoms13]

Dang, he really likes you.
