Good afternoon everyone! I just finished reading my old build thread and I think its more appropriate to start a new one. It is time to build! I ordered an engine builders kit for Dezod LAST YEAR and im just getting the opportunity to dive in. Along with the engine builders kit, I ordered an entire gasket overhaul, oil pump, water pump, and thermostat from Toyota. I bought slicks sometime last summer and those have been a blast. Hopefully its not too long till the next update. Have a safe memorial day weekend folks!

Awesome! I plan to start my build very soon here.

Did you get the $1400 engine builders kit from Dezods site? I'm thinking about going that route.

Yeah I grabbed that deal. Its great if you have all the tools and equipment to do it yourself. You can also go to TRD sparks and order up all the Toyota gaskets. Pretty sure its sold as a gasket overhaul kit.

Thanks for the love guys. Ive got summer classes and work consuming my life right now but once they are over I should be able to get after it.

Got the cams out. Looks like the intake side cam journal number three got some trash sent through it

Got it stripped down to the block. Not sure whats going on here because the head bolts were 07+ 10mm Bi-Hex but no piston squirters in the block. Not sure if this is going to be a problem considering all the hardware I have is for an 07+.

Rod thrust is within spec with my tightest being .0075 and the loosest was .009 -.0095. Crank thrust is waaaay out of spec. I can slide the .025 in no problem. Launching the crap out of it probably didn't help.
