Welp, I need a TVSV and a "gas filter"

Title says it all. I need that dreaded TVSV and the intake "gas filter" because i somehow managed to break both of them while installing the motor.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

It's still gonna take me a lil while to get this going. I was just involved in an accident in my other car(2017 fiesta RIP) and i'm pretty beat up from that so I can't really lift or wrench too hard. New oil/water pumps are ordered tho so once they arrive I'll spend a couple days doing nothing but t...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

All the valves were taken out of the head, cleaned, inspected, ground and compression tested. They're all alright.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

and an update! https://photos.app.goo.gl/NrwnNFeSY7HZNV667 Finally found a decent machine shop that had the time/willingness to do it. The cylinders are all over bored a bit, the head was compression tested and the valves were ground. Everything should be just about ready to go. I'm waiting on a new...

Re: Erratic Idle - If it Idles at All

I'd check the simple things like fuel filter and make sure the carb is getting fuel, check the carb, check vac leaks, pull the air filter off and see if it runs better. Maybe check the distro rotor real quick.

Next time there's a terdcel in the willamette valley let me know. I can swing by and grab parts for anyone, then ship em out or just hold em for a bit for someone.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

The goal now is to find a machine shop that can do it. Apparently all of em around here are booked up pretty solid(racing season) so I'm having to rely on friends of friends. It'll get done though.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

Okay, so, correction. They did send me the pistons but they were shipped separately and took a few extra days. So I believe I have everything that I'll need. Finding a local machine shop with decent recommendations was somewhat of a pain but I think I found one. I should be all set to get underway o...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

I'm going .020 oversized so I can do another rebuild later on if needed.

So I actually didn't get the pistons from the kit supplier. I misunderstood on the phone so I'll have to find a set of those, which I think I did.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

A lil update. I haven't started wrenching on it quite yet because I'm still sourcing parts. I went with this rebuild kit. https://www.enginepartsonly.com/1985-toyota-tercel-1-5l-engine-rebuild-kit-ek914-e1/ BUT they didn't have the oversized rings in stock. So I had to go on ebay to find those, whic...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

Alright! We have a pulled engine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DoCEXKQGBzYzmtRn6 So, a piston skirt went out along with a ring. All of the bearings look fine. There's no signs of heat on them from what I can tell. So I dont think I need to do any crank work. So I'll go ahead and order the rebuild kit w...

Re: PNW Meet Up

Im down to meet up with or without a running terdcel of my own.

So we can work on dates. June 12th is pretty close so idk how likely that is. Is there another car show we could hit later in the year?
