So yesterday I got the rocker cover off the 24v and did a well deserved tuneup. The clearances were well out

Now thats a fiddly process. I turned and turned the engine over and it was definitely triple checked. All good.

Inlet cam lobe has upset me a bit! The motor runs very sweetly, But I think that I'm going to have to change the cam sooner than later.
Ive done the egr delete on the exhaust side.
Also cleaned up the crossover pipe. Typically a horrible job!

Decided to clean up the aluminium oxide off the rocker cover. Screwed it to a piece of ply! Worked well. Love the oil breather hump... very 1kzt!
Have bought a cam belt kit for it.
Have ordered an aisin clutch kit as its one is too worn.
With the input shaft on the manual box.. there's way too much play on the bearing. Believe that the part no is 30363-50007 (33311a). When I drove the green 80 with the gear boots off I could hear it going and the noise only went when under power. So goin to be going in there soon! Have been scanning the H151f rebuild thread here. Its good info! Have done the input shaft bearing on the R150f before so hopefully wount be a complete crash course!
Today a 10 hour hit on engine and autobox removal prep! Ive enjoyed it except for snapping 6 out of the 8 headlamp mount bolts!
