I forgot to post that I had completed the painting of the engine and all ancilleries. Silver colour is VHT SP127 Universal Aluminium, black is VHT SP139 GM Satin Black, the valve cover is VHT SP123 Chevy Orange. The exhaust manifold and the hot side of turbo is SP102 Flameproof Flat Black. As per instructions on the cans, every component except for the engine and gearbox has been baked at the nominated temperature to ensure it provides a more durable surface for handling and resistance to chemicals etc. This was done in several batches in our outdoor gas pizza oven - with permission from my wife :)
Once I get all the crankshaft cap bolts from Toyota, and the bucket of fasteners from passivation, it all gets put back together (with new seals along the way). I will be posting tutorials and pics on how to replace the major oil seals and also replacing the con-rod/big-end and main/crank bearings too.
