MY FIRST VERY OWN ENGINE SWAP IN MY LIFE SO FAR SO GOOD ann had to haul in my mini lol toy hauling a toy turbo


billet pistons


MEE so whhat you think of the 17 yr old kid

 

I don't think that chain is big enough.....

Good luck with the install

 

nice set up, only bad thing with them 7m's was sh tty headgasket.

 

seriously get a bigger one!

 

its the best i could do without having to pay anyone anything hahah it did the job nd saving 700+dls

 

I heard the problem wasn't the gasget but the specs for the torq was wrong. So if ya didn't get the right torq specs you were constantly doing gasgets...

 

You're not the only 17y.o.

 

Cool!

Why the guy get rid of it? Just a headgasket, or a grenaded bottom end too?

 

the guy i bought it from said he had a mk3 come in for a 1jz becaise he wasnt happy with the way this engin ran and he said it had a problem with the valves the way they were set up so he fixed it and did a leak down test and said it was ready to goo and wanted it out of his shop

 

free is good

 

nicee looking for more pics... cant wait to get my next truck to drop my new ls2 in it
