Ryan, I've sent an email to 1St GenCelica as it doesnt givem e an option to join, or at least I cant see one.. Anyway, sure I'll take measurements. Please remind me if I forget... I will be posting all the detail of my rebuild and rack and pinion mods on my Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pa...

Thanks for the pics, looks interesting. My plan at this stage is to modify the TA22 cross member for rack and pinion. I'll have my engine out this weekend, I can then take some measurements and figure out a plan. I have a feeling that there maybe some clearance issues with the steering column head ...

Thanks Ryan, Didn't know of that site. I've sent an inquiry to see if they have the parts I need. Thanks for the link! Cheers, Simon I hope it works out for you. I'll keep an eye on your rebuild as I may have to do the same. Also, I saw that you are working on a solution for a rack and pinion steer...

your rings may be stuck with sludge, the best way to deal with the problem is taking it apart and hone it plus new rings and bearings while you at it, or if that is not an option, i got something that works 80% of the times i have try it, rotate the engine by hand and place all the pistons halfway ...

I was finally able to fire up my 3tgte, problem is, it's spitting oil through the exhaust (also rough idle due to vacuum leak). I pulled out the plugs and as soon as I took the #3 plug out, smoke started coming out of the plug hole. Any other ideas beside that I may have a bad ring?

Let's wait for the OP first. I'll give him 5 days, after that it's yours. I'll let you know how much by then, fair enough don't you agree?


Ryan

Seems reasonable to me.

You have PM.
