[4Munta]

hi All I am new to this site am about to start rebuilding my 3L motor and was wondering if there is anything that i need to be carefull of ?

mine destroyed the timing belt as well. but i went to turners damaged and got 2 kzn130 surf's(one auto 150,000kms $2500 and one manual 300,000kms $1500) and swapped the 1kz-te (3.0l turbo) engine and box over and wrecked the remaing bits off and covered my costs and have a spare engine . highly recommend this option if have the time as 1kz goes heaps better than the 3L.

allready got a parts motor(only cost me $220) just looking for addvice for rebuild am thinking i supercharge it( have seent it done) but not sure if it worth it

if you havnt allready, rotate the motor till tdc and mark where everything is,
its all basic- theres factory marks ect
replace the water pump and idlers when your in there
it would be easyer to turbo it using ln130 2lte parts.
i recon'd and turbo'd my 3L, ive got a workshop manual if you need any torque settings ect
good luck

if it looks dodgy replace it, you need it to be reliable not break down on the back country
