Last parts were delivered to Richard Grey today. Motor should be assembled and ready to go tomorrow. Cant wait to start the reinstall. Somehow I misplaced the head bolts and had to order a set from Toyota. They are $6.50 each and it needed 10. Well $65 later I have a new set of bolts, whats amazing to me is that they are still available brand new Toyota stock.

It's best to use new head bolts on the new build anyway

Ok after all the stuff I've taken him for my motor somehow I forgot the key way for crank pulley and the bolt that holds the upper sprocket to the camshaft. Taking that Monday morning and hopefully I'll get it mon afternoon.
