Hey guys,

Picked up a s1 25 with a blown head gasket really cheap a few weeks back. i'm gonna pull it apart and send it off to a engine shop to get the head and block checked for cracks etc hoping it was just a blown gasket.

What else should I do while the motor is out and apart?

Water pump

timing belt (should I do the cam seals? I have some brand new ones here)

VRS gasket kit

ARP head studs (I have some brand new Nason ones here, are they any decent or don't use them?)

thicker head gasket (metal?)

piston rings

it's gonna go into my 32 and at some stage im hoping for 300-350hp and maybe up to 450hp in a few years time. What should I do now to future proof myself?

I would like to stick to a budget of around $2000 but I can stretch if its worth it.

What is everyone's opinions?

Sorry if the post seems a bit stupid, i'm new to building engines.

Cheers :)

Well, seriously.

You would be mental to not replace cam seals, especially if you already have them.

Your questions are so basic and pointless, I have to wonder if you have bitten off more than you can chew.

Good on you for having a crack.

For a start you need to ( or get the machine shop to) measure the bores for wear and out of round and the bearing clearances though if it doen't need a rebore and new pistons you might as well do rings and bearings. Have a listen to what the machine shop says but don't agree to anything until you have considered all the options or you could be up for a $10k plus recond.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
