Hello everyone ,

I am looking for the height rating of the RB30, because I would like to know if mine has already been planed or not

mine placed on my marble is approximately 286 millimeters
and the shirt is 152 millimeters

Your measurement technique will never tell you the deck height. Tape measures are not accurate enough, and you need to measure from the centreline of the crank, not the bottom of the skirt.

I don't know what the correct dimension is. Hopefully someone will chime in with it. But in the mean time, buy yourself a good quality 1000mm ruler and a straight edge. The straight edge is to take the place of the crank. You need to bolt on the main caps, and measure from the top of the main bearings to the deck, and from the bottom of the bearings to the deck, and average those two numbers.

thank you GTSBoy,

I'm going to do as you told me with my rigid rules. afterward I did as it was just to see if my block is still valid or not, otherwise it won't be much use to me to work on it

It would only be better with your method thank you once again, I hope there will be people who will respond too I will see

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
