Evan Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think I saw a 1J something or another at Zebra manukau today, maybe. But anyway this is a shitter of a thing to have happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thats gayer than cockmeat sandwiches. Are NA heads usable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Nah the na heads have different bolt patterns for the exhaust and intake compared to the turbo heads. I didn't realise the vvti heads were different as well though but I guess that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Awww man sorry to hear about the motor... So close to epic dyno goodness!  On the bright side I guess it's good that a non VVTI 1JZ head is probably the easiest to source out of all the turbo heads.

sentra Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 for my bi-curiousity, how far off the mark was the tightness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 i can't remember the figure they gave me unfortunately. the bolts are M8 and when it came to undoing them with an average 3/8 drive ratchet they were very difficult to crack. i did them up with a half inch torque wrench that is pretty long so i wouldn't have felt how tight i was actually doing them if you know what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Holy fucken fuck man. That is super gay. I am sorry for your feels. Fuck those caps must have been intensely tight. I would guess setting to be around 20nm? Sucks you got given the wrong info. Hopefully this is seen as a lesson to everyone reading this thread. Always double check your work. For instance once cam caps are torqued down, should always check to make sure you're cams rotate in the head. Which they would not have at a guess here. Guts. Mega mega guts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 How'd it all get past the filter? Blocked it up and bypassed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 it hurts to even type it but yes, thats a new short block assembly. hindsight is 20 20 as they say but i really should have checked the figures i was given before i torqued the cams. i didn't, everything got fucked.  no idea how shit got past the filter but id say that once a tiny bit of grinding paste got into the mains they began generating their own grinding fragments and really went to town. anywho, its done now.today i made a new water feed pipe for the heater tap and tidied up some hoses and whatnot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
