Thats what Im thinking.

Does this little bastard look familiar to you guys????



Well if you didn't know it goes...



and holds the tensioner pully bracket in place.

I can't believe that blew my mind when I was putting the timing belt back on. I'm never going to forget this. Okay here's what happened after much investigating. While driving the car the tensioner bracket slipped off of its pivot dowel, slamming the pulley and belt into the belt cover, which pushed the belt up onto the back edge of the pulling, tearing up the belt along with probably ever thing else on the front cover.


If anyone EVER makes the same mistake that I did, I will personally kick you in your ass! This was totally my fault, something that should have never happened if I had looked at thing closer. If I could kick myself in the balls I would do it, but I can't so that won't happen. DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^Good job! ^^^^

After a spun rod bearing, I went back to OEM. It was a fun ride, things seemed to go great. Got the motor back in and she even starts up and sounds excellent.

One problem.

MY OIL IS LIKE 1/2 COOLANT!!!!!!!!

compression is fine. no external leaks. The head is new and tested, and the block is good, it was driven just prior to me installing it with no problems. The coolant isnt coming from the oil cooler or turbo, i capped those off and changed the oil like 3 times. The car has been running a total of like 3 min.

Can anyone think of anything on the timing side of the block (or the transmission side) that I could have screwed up or not put back together correctly that would cause this? Any plugs? I bought the mitsu gasket set and I didn't run into any problems. I guess you could say I was 99% completed, and now I am back to about 50%, maybe 25%. I could really use some ideas.

You sure the head isnt cracked internally, allowing oil and water to enter through there? It would have to be somewhere that oil and water come close to each other. Could compression still be good and still allow oil and water to mix between the block and the head?

im doing 2 at the moment... one is being done by a shop and the other i am doing in my garage... my parts list for my 2.0 is in my signiture

my garage rebuild is a g4cs 2.4L block with a 2g 4g63 head and intake manifold

I seriously don't know. I was hitting YOU up for more info.

i just picked up a 7bolt outta a 1g targa today)targa is black w blackrims..sweet! (with euro popups the shorter aero versions and al)l.. i just took the motor,i have no space for the targa 1g..i hope it goes into loving hands - its sitting there in the guys nixce garage..all alone. i wish i had the money toi buy it

anyways.. im rebuilding this motor to a mild level..maz go for a strokerkit tho,im not 100% sure yet

btw i drove 11 hours today to pick up this motor and bring it back home..im so happy..i paid 120$ for the whole motor ( when i agreed to buy the motor,i thought i was just getting the bottom end)

i asked the guy to send me a pic,so if its ok,ill post a pic from this beatiful targa in this thread


the motor is my autumn/winter project
mild,forged pistons..maybe stroker..maybe cams (as i need $$ for a different turbo)

I'm almost done. I got the engine back last monday and i've been spending a few hours after work each day putting it back together. I just have to bolt the transmission back up and drop it in. I just might hear this ol' Banshee scream once again.

The Talon is Done!!!

Put the engine in today, and it coughed to life about four or five times before I realized I had the spark plugs backwards. Fixed them up, then it hummed to life. It's a world of difference when you're using all four cylinders. With the 8.5:1 CR, it pulls just as hard at 10 psi as the old setup did at 15 psi. Still some rough edges to smooth over, but overall, I'm a happy camper.

Sweet! I'm waiting for my new injectors and clutch and I'm right there with ya.

I'm doing a bottom end with Ross pistons eagle rods arp hardware all around and a cometic headgasket not sure what i want to do with my head yet though.

If it's within your budget, go with some oversized exhaust valves. A friend of mine did that and he felt a noticable difference at the top end, even with stock cams.

Cervesa mas fina!!!!

2g pistons
1g rods (nitrided and balanced)
clevite bearings
arp mains/rods
mitsu mls headgasket
supertech valves
titanium springs/retainers

Well, I still haven't gotten my engine in the car. I was about to install it the weekend that Katrina hit but one of my pressure plate bolts broke and my idler pulley was frozen. Here's where it is as of today. I hope to be up and running in a week.

i'm going to a mild setup...just received the head yesterday. Actually sold my 18rims/AEM big brake kit, (went back to stock) just for some more funds.

Don't worry will be getting new rims/brakes in the future
























a beast will be made with this one!!
