there is no way they made there way into the head passed the restrictors so what ever they are they started in the head, or where left in the head when being built

there is nothing I can think of that goes in the head that that could be, even a broken spring would be roundish, but check any way

but id say that is your problem, pull pump apart and make sure here is nothing in it and wash all the oil lines

What about the oil pump or rear main oil seal dowels? Are those intact or still there?

Could have been something left in the block before you/RIPS got it and came loose while running......

+1, id also like that car :wub: , good to see its coming back together

like said before the only way it could get into the head is if it started there, the other piece could have easily gone down the back oil drain into the sump, if nothing is out of place in the head then there is the chance it has falling/left in there during the first build

I welded up a tip that fits down on the bucket and fits between the cam lobe and the cam tower. Takes a little bit to get everything setup perfect.

Just got the shed right before all this happened, otherwise i would be under my car port.

Quick question guys, I have tial watercooled wastegates, so i was gonna go ahead and plumb them. Can I use this line pictured? I did the GT mod so and just have this capped off. its at the rear of the engine on the intake side. It would be much easier than teeing into the turbo water supply.

No thats that cooling mod with the swirl tank tapped into the intake manifold. After reading more than i care to read it looks like that would be more of a return port rather than a supply. So I am going to tee into the 6an water supply for the turbo and reduce down to a 4 and daisy chain the waste gates, then weld a bung onto the upper radiator hose neck rather than weld a bung on the radiator, makes one less connection when you have to pull the motor.

Drove it home today. So much quieter engine now. Triple plate carbonetic is hella quieter than the twin disk too. wooot. Well I am pooped. Not to bad of an install time. 20 mins for the motor, an hour for the trans ( yeah r34 trans in a 240z with fuel lines in the tunnel is a bitch), wiring 20 mins. Turbo stuff, 30 mins. piping 20 mins (yea tight fit for 2 pipes haha), mid pipe and exhaust, 20 mins, 10 trips to the faucet for water 1 liter at a time...30 mins... All in all, 4 beers and a monster.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
