Darton Sleeves

Looks great, hope the rest goes smooth for ya.

 

The head gaskets came with everything I got from gadget

 

Looks great! I bet you can't wait to install it.

 

I know I'm gettin pumped

 

Puttin the Trans in an engine 2moro

 

Tor the passenger side cylinder head intake side for most head stud needs 2 be modified for the vvti actuator 2 clear

 

huh?

 

If you install arp head studs in the 1gr the stud that is all the way up front on the intake side of the head needs 2 be cut down for the vvti actuator 2 clear it

 

ok, that makes more sense then the previous comment

 

This guy Daniel delivers on the naked 1GR pics! Coming together nicely man!

 

Sorry lol

 

Thank you. Ther will be more pics 2 come

 

for moar pics

 

That is new. I have never had a clearance issue before. Something to watch for though. Good posting up.

 

No problem

 

So I modified my core support so I can remove it so I can install my transmission attached 2 the engine

So the engine transmission and transfer case are all installed

 

WOOOOO! So clean

 

That is definitely one way to do it. I know how hard it is navigating up and over that core support, so with that modification, I know it made it a breeze to slide that engine in. Damn near start-up time too. Getting me excited for you as well!

That last picture, it kind of looks like you timing cover is polished. Is that the flash or did you polish it?

So you had better get a start-up video.

As for mine, I talked with Darton yesterday. They hadn't heard anything from Kelford, on a few of the responses they were waiting for, for cams. In a few weeks at that. So after our discussion, a call was made and the contact at Kelford had basically dropped the ball on Darton's requests. So that being resolved, cams are in the works to the specification that I offered them. So mine can finally get finished as well as other engines that have been on hold.

Not sure how long it will take for the cams to get here from Down Under, but if I hope it is by air. This wait is seriously trying my patience.

 

Sorry 2 hear that but glad you are gettin it sorted out. The cover isn't polished its just brand new lol

 

Once your engine is broken in, do you plan on a dyno? Then we can finally see what that intake does.
