My new build
I’m working on an engine rebuild and definitely want to tackle the pistons.
The engine was smoking even worse than a junkie with a joint.
But for an engine with only 137,876 km
I think the oil scraper rings were stuck.
That turns out to be correct, which is what I thought.
Time to start.. 
I’m going to completely disassemble the engine and replace a lot of it at once.
Then it’ll be good for a while, which is nice.
Here are some photos of my progress.
Oke And I immediately have a problem.
I can no longer get the piston rings and connecting rod bearings in the Netherlands
Is there a adres in Japan where i can get them,
or in Maleisia.
Have you tried www.amayama.com and searched there? probabaly worth looking at the Toyota Duet which I think would have come with this engine?
Continuing the discussion from Engine overhaul:
Thank you got the parts i need..
Okay, quick question.
How much torque should I tighten the crankshafts?
Step 1 is 20 Nm.
But what next?
Oke a small update
Still have to weld the manifold, but mockup is compleet.
Where do i take the oil from for the turbo??
Is there a good spot on the engine.
Here’s where I ordered connecting rod bearings for my L601. They may be identical?: Items for sale by globalavto | eBay You could also use Plastigage for determining if your bearings and crankshaft are within specification. At that low of a milage, if the engine has been punctually serviced, new rings and bearings shouldn’t be necessary
okay I have a question, where is the best place to attach my oil line for my turbo.
I don’t know where the best place is on the engine block, or should I make an attachment point somewhere.
Can anyone help me, I have no clue.
