Block surface clean!! Well except for final pass to remove fuzz and last bits of oil and stuff. Head goes on tomorrow with help from a friend who does not have the corona virus!!!
Marco, did you ajust / check your valve clearance on the bench, or do you have the shim tools to do that on the car? Just trying to learn a little about the 3fe. Bill
Oops, I stand corrected.the 3FE lash is adjusted at the rocker arm. Totally different beast.
Did/do you chase them? I bought a fancy chasing die when I did the 22R-E and it was smooth like Velveeta with stock head bolts.I always sweat when I torque head studs/bolts! Some of these felt funky but it is what it is. I'm going with it!
As far as the valve clearances go, with this 1FZ I think ideally you'd check them with the head bolted to the block and torqued... but I only checked them on the bench with the cams in. I'm gonna throw the cams back in now and won't check the valve clearances... BUT if it were a motor for somebody else I'd probably throw a feeler gauge in there after putting cams back in to double check that I was where I thought I was.
Needed a way to keep my coffee from spilling and a way to hold my phone in the center console so I printed one of these:
