Yep same as last few posts. Last step before pulling the engine back out again is mineral oil and provided everything is feeling half ok I'd give it heaps. Heaps of boost and heaps of load. You need to try and undo all the glazing of the bores that idling will have done. Hopefully there is enough cross hatch (you did hone the bores I'm hoping???) to bed the rings in a bit better. As per above you need to force the rings hard out against the bores hence why you want plenty of boost or load to achueve that.

Good luck, it's a bitch to have to pull the engine out again if it's no good!

Idling for 30mins? I was told start up check for leaks then go for a drive with varying loads Minimize idling during run in

It's actually funny how the old and sensible instruction to avoid idling a newly built engine coupled with the old and sensible advice to run the engine through a variety of loads and speeds (but not

When I built my engine I comp tested at +/- 150psi before starting it, started it and let it run for 5mins, dumped oil refilled with mineral diesel oil, took it out to the M4 did some controlled loading till I got to the mountains then vaired from 3500rpm to 4500rpm as it climbed the hill came back down turned around and did a couple of 2nd gear hill starts at 4000-5500rpm, went home dumped oil and refilled then comp tested at +/- 170psi, a year later it comp tested at the same +/-170psi

Which will increase overlap and drop compression.

Why are you worried?

I don't understand why the cams were adjusted, says on the RHDjapan website that they are a drop in cam which

don't need adjustment and if adjusted 1degree will dramatically impact idle and low end torque.

If it affects idle then that means compression test will be crap.

Maybe set the cams to normal position and retest?

Desperate measures for bedding in rings on an engine that had been accidentally glazed up after a rebuild used to be to tip a tablespoonful of Bon Ami down the carby. I shit you not. Slightly harsh treatment to be sure, but given that it is either that or take it apart and re-hone with new rings......

You could rig the AFM up to a hose onto the TB to bypass the turbo if you were needing to do it to an RBDET.

drop in means they fit without head mod (shimming doesn't count here). How does Tomei know what the user wants out of his setup?

My point was, the maker of the cams suggests that changing the timing of there cams will affect idle and low end

torque, extra duration creates poor combustion efficiency at low rpm, so at 200rpm it would loose a lot of compression on a test if OP has increased the Overlap.

mine is currently +2 intake -4 exhaust

100 psi is very low, what exactly did you change when doing the rebuild, are the cams timed correctly

Those setting should actually increase the compression reading, even if it is only a little bit as they aren't that big of a change

You need to lean into the motor gradually and stay away from any synthetic oil for the first few thousand Km.

Load the engine, you need pressure to push the rings onto the bore to bed them, idling does nothing but take the peaks off the hone without bedding in the rings.

I recon go back to a mineral oil and lay into it a bit, hopefully most of the cross hatch should still be there.

Also check your mixtures, if your running rich, expect to see your oil contaminated with petrol, its not a good thing to wash the oil off with fuel on the bores, not a good start to the engines life.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
