Alright.  It's time to start the major assembly of the engine.  I did use this time to put on all new coolant hoses and clamps as well as a new timing belt and belt tensioner spring.

I used a bench grinder with a wire wheel to clean up all the aluminum parts prior to assembly.  I would have liked to polish everything, but I wasn't sure I could get all the crevices to shine the same.  I just decided to paint everything aluminum.  For the intake manifold and heat shields I used 1500 degree engine paint. 

Don't make the same mistake that I did and join the upper and lower halves of the intake without first running the wiring harness.  My harness has been modified for the new injectors already. 

It took me a while to get the trans clean as it seems that practically every leak runs down and sticks onto it. 

While putting the turbo back on, I noticed a small crack in the waste gate seat, I guess I will be replacing this turbo later. 

With the trans, engine, alternator, and turbo all cleaned, painted, and assembled, it was time to lift the engine back up onto the chain hoist and join it to the trans.

1- Having been the one that took everything apart, the reassembly wasn't as hard as it could have been.

2- Getting the bottom pulley tight enough in a Supra is a problem.  I've tried tightening this in the car before and, even with the car in gear, the emergency brake on, and the wheels against a curb, I still roll the car before I get to the proper torque.  I ended up using the chain wrench again with the handle lying against the water pump housing.  I actually had my feet off the ground and was bouncing on the wrench to get the torque I needed. 

1- With the rest of the engine all clean and shiny my timing cover looks bad.  I guess I will be getting another one of these some time.

2- I found it virtually impossible to run the wiring harness through the intake manifold after the upper and lower halves were joined together.  Be sure to route the wiring prior to attaching these halves to each other.

I was hoping this will be the last time that I have to see this thing out if the car so I decided to take quite a few pictures.  It's time to install the engine back in the car and hope it starts.
