Successfully split the engine today, only really asking for help about what to do next and for assistance with some difficult nuts and bolts. Surprisingly little damage inside, some pitting on one cog, a lot of carbon in the combustion chamber and a little wear on the oil pump rotors.
Going to take the cylinder head for a polish in a machine shop up the road tomorrow, they specialise in such things and will only charge about USD$20. Beats spending an afternoon grinding valves in.

How is the engine split going? Did you replace the pitted 5th gears? That's a common fault among 3AJ Teneres.
ReplyDeleteHey Scottie, I'm still waiting for parts to clear customs.
