Little write up on the evolution of my car
Little write up on the evolution of my car
So it's head off, valves relapped and rebuilt.
Thankfully I've a spare head so thats gone for lapping with its valves, and I'll order the head rebuild kit tomorrow from Toyota. It's just annoying as that's the only part of the build I got someone else to do and the job, to be blunt, was terrible.
I also won't be able to go to the rscs this weekend as I have no car. So if anyone wants a free ticket pm me and I'll send it by special tomorrow for the cost of postage.
If I can maybe get the rebuild kit and head by Friday Can get it mapped before the mapper goes on holiday on Tuesday, if not then I'll send the car to the body shop and get the arches finished then rebuild it after.
So annoyed but I've found the problem.

Glad you've found it - least it wasn't electrical as that could have been a nightmare to find.

Just annoyed at the company who did the lapping, won't be going back there, thinking I may pull the whole engine out rather than work on the engine in the car. It's only a couple more hours work.
