1ggte rebuilding

**kristian** · 18-05-2008, 07:24 AM

ok i am going to pick up my 1ggte next weekend. just want to know is there anywhere out there that has a workshop manual for reassembling a 1ggte as mine is in parts. i want to put it back together and see what it runs like and decide from there if i want to completly rebuild it or not.

If you are putting it back together from pieces, you will more or less HAVE TO replace the consumable in the bottom end (rings, bearings, gaskets, seals etc) cos once an engine has been disassembled, these bits aren't much chop. Especially if they aren't matched to the same cylinder they came from

At a rough guess, this will all add up to close to $600 (gasket set is around $400 from toyota AFAIK, and bearings aren't really available for Gen3), which is why buying a running motor from importers is so attractive.

If you are already spending this much, get the block machined and you should have a nearly new bottom end.

Put it together with new belts too...

Stuff like the turbos, and even the head, can be inspected and used if they appear in good condition, as they are easy to remove later... it's just that removing and rebuilding the bottom end is the pain.

In all honesty, buying a complete runner from an importers sounds like a better option... but that's your call to make.

After all that, I have an owners/manual in electronic form... but it's written in japanese

there is a 1GGE (English) and 1GGTE (jap) floating around somewhere if you do a search. Basically the same specs for rebuilding.

yeah i should make it more clear, i just picked my 1ggte, the main motor is still assembled, just all the external stuff that i have to do. like the motor has compression when turning by hand, i just want to put it back together and mount it all and wire it all and see how it goes before i rebuild it, i am getting in contact with a guy who does complete rebuilds to see how much he will charge to do it. the parts side of it, i would love to get some good part number to cross over as i am in spares, and i can get the parts at cost which my sway me to do a complete rebuild right up.
