Lauren's 1985 Kouki Trueno

Had a quick hour and a half at it today.

Got the engine ready for mating to the gearbox next weekend.

Torqueing the Inlet manifold:

New injector seals on:

Injectors in until I realised it would likely be easier to push them onto the fuel rail first. What a fiddly job on your own.

I might look at getting a new O ring. Couldn't find one amongst my new parts bag. Also can't find one of the bolts for the distributor so will order another from Toyota. Might be ordering a few lost bolts at this rate!

Alternator on. Was interesting that I found that when I bolted up the lower brace for the inlet manifold it didn't seem to fit right. If I did the bolt up to the block it would have been under tension. Turns out the AE86 has a different brace which is shorter and bolts off one of the lower block strengthening brackets.

Not that interesting, save for putting the fan/alternator/water pump belt on, it's pretty much ready for bolting the gearbox up.

Next weekend this can go on:

Then hopefully we'll get it all back in.
