FJuan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just drive it normal through town for an hour. Do not go on the freeway and go a steady speed, make sure you accelerate and decelerate for the 1st hour. Then you'll be read for the data log or tune. My wife's balls are delicious.

WaspGT Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Okay... so my block and new oil pan are refinished and painted... ready to start putting it back together. I need to know exactly what I need for tools... and why? I've researched and found 3: Both the Intake/Exhaust wrenches, and there is a half moon magnetized sprocket locking tool? My heads were never disassembled... just degreased and jet washed. I am however replacing all the cam bolts (so it'll be easier to disassemble next summer when I build the heads). Which tools do I need to reassemble so I can bolt it on? Please explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 To put the heads on you'll need a 12mm 12 point socket and a torque wrench. Follow the torque procedure and you'll be all good. Eveything else is assembled with standard tools. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Make sure you don't paint the matting surface of the block and tranny, it's a ground path. As well as some other matting surfaces. The money your saving on not having the heads rebuilt, and the money your spending on tools... why don't you just have a machine shop do the heads and assemble them on the block ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

boxkita Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The machine shop has done enough. Matting surfaces... Explain.! matting surfaces is commonly used in the creation of picture framing. mating surfaces has to do with the contacting surfaces of 2 metal parts. A machine shop (had they done their job properly) would ensure the mating surfaces are flat, allowing for minimal gasket material to achieve a good seal when properly torqued. Honestly, if this is your level of questions, you may be money ahead to have the machine shop do the joining of the heads & the block. With regards your torque wrench, be sure to get one that allows setting the torque value (like these http://www.craftsman.com/wrenches-torque-wrenches/b-1305567 - avoid the beam style). Also, follow the tighening sequence. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wasp, with all these questions, are you sure your up to the task ? Sorry I don't know your back ground. You may have lots of mechanical ability, I just don't know what you've done in the past. I'll give you credit for getting this far, you must have some knowledge. I have learned sometimes it's better to pay the man, so you know the job is done correctly, after all, its only going to get colder in the coming month's. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

boxkita Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 When I said standard, I meant just a set of "normal" tools. No specialized tools are needed to put back the motor. I know, you know, I'm not sure he knows. At the rate the questions are coming in, I figured the SAE/Metric question would come along sooner or later. As he brings a certain flavor to my threads, I'm trying to spice up his. Curious why the 12point 12mm, instead of 6point 12mm socket? I always try to use the least pointed (?) socket for a given nut/bolt. Figure when I round them off, I'll use a higher pointed socket.

FJuan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 When it comes to high torque bolts, I always match the socket points with the bolts. I've learn the hard way in the past when rounding the heads off with the incorrect sockets. One thing to add, the cam gear bolts are a B!TCH to take out. I went through 2 allen sockets before I was able to track down a solid allen socket that wouldn't strip out inside the socket itself. My wife's balls are delicious.

FJuan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 That's probably a better way to do it. I think next time if I have to do it again, I'm just going to tack weld the socket right on to the damn bolt. My wife's balls are delicious.

Done. I have all new cam bolts. The matting surfaces were also left unpainted... and i have plenty of help. I'm positive i could could put this motor together by myself... but i just don't have the time. The majority of the work is being done by a good friend of mine.
