OST-056: Nasty.....

Another first gen 4AG head, this one is a bit Nasty....

Image


Btw, here is a photo showing the difference between a 1st gen TVIS head, and a 2nd gen TVIS head. A first gen is what came on the AE86, the 2nd gen is later

Image



So, getting back to OST-056, the head is stripped, cleaned(?), and pressure checked. Once back, I deburr the casting

more to come...... :D

I have to wonder if Toyota had the MR / FWD mounting in mind when they (or Yamaha) designed the 4A-GE. I have one each of the big port heads and noticed this difference.

I've yet to see a Toyota application that uses that mount...........






Work on the head proceeds.....



"Building" the intake side - blending the seat, bowl, and port ;)

There's a small bracket that bolts to that part of the head. At least for the AE92 GTS. There's a hole in the top timing belt cover for it to stick out of. Then there's a plate which mounts from that bracket to the top of the alternator bracket. I have a pic somewhere of the pieces, I'll have to post it. There may be more to it but I forget. I pulled everything from a junkyard AE92 GTS.

Edit: here's a pic. The bracket is on the far right. I think the middle plate/bracket also bolts to the engine mount. There's 2 holes at that end, one of which bolts to the small bracket situated between the cam gears.

I'm sorry I derailed the topic with this, but I guess we all learn something new every day. And I always love to see your work!

OK, here are some better pics. I had pulled all of the timing covers for my (someday, someday, someday) engine build, along with that small "cam bracket."

^ Bracket looks smooth in parts because I've been taking off the casting lines & imperfections, so that I can get it powder coated along with other parts.

back from the machine shop wearing a new 3 angle, and back cut intake valves....

next, checking chamber volumes...

Image





So if I want chambers down to 36cc, how much should I have machined from the head???

from another forum wrote:It's very late so my math might be off but I think about 1.5 thou (inches) sounds wrong but that's all I can come up with right now. I'm rusty with my numbers and a bit tipsy.



well, about .008" is about 1cc(+ or -), so @ .6cc over, that would be about .005"

Image


and that's how much I had it machined.....
