Re: 1.3 rebuild
my recommendation is to find another motor. a replacement engine will be a 1/4 the cost of a rebuild, possible less if you were paying someone to do the rebuild work for you. to properly rebuild, you'll need to re-sleeve the bores, or it will burn oil due to the way the bores wear. and thats assumin...

Re: Valve Clearance Issue or Poor Technique
your technique sounds ok, I always set valve clearance on the "back" of the cam does sound like a high milage wear issue. have you removed the rockers and shaft from the engine? it is possible that you have a broken rocker shaft, but your rockers (with the uneven were) sound like they are ...

Re: SJ30s
FYI they typically run wheel spacers and "wacky shackles" cause they have a safety inspection every two years. by running these that can take them off and pass inspection, and still fit in the kei car "box" and thus keep their yellow plates. this is a perfect example of having to...

Re: Measuring cylinder size
just check the bottom flange of the block to make sure this number wasn't an assembly number. there will be 4 numbers in a row (like 2 2 3 2), these were used on the assembly line to get the right pistons into the correct hole, as there are not all the same size. but looking at that piston pic, it l...

Re: Measuring cylinder size
typically rings aren't marked with their respective sizes. there is always a first. clean the tops of the pistons, if the block is over sized it will be marked in the tops of the pistons, as will STD size bores if possible post up a pic of just one piston, and I'll try and decipher the size for you....

Re: Measuring cylinder size
if you measure the bore correctly, you meed an internal micrometer or a bore gauge. however, you will find that it's oval from about halfway down to the bottom of the stroke. this occurs as the crack pushes the pistons sideways, it all has to do wit stroke to rod-length ratio. rings along won't stop...
