Are the series 1 and series 2 crankshafts the same?

[R34GTFOUR]

Sorry to hear about all the drama mate..

I just threw out an RB30 crank on the weekend because its been sitting in my shed for the last 3 years!

Series 1 & 2 cranks are the same - its just the block that differs

Would this be correct plumbing?

Need a check valve for the oil cooler back to engine?

[ZT-R]

Would this be right? Would it still get oil if the thermo is closed (cold)

Well, looks like its gonna need a new block or some sleeves. The ring galgue from the 1st tear down is not going to clean up with a hone. Looking into 2jz

fark.

feel for you.

hi mate,

that's one nice Z. I just went through that kinda pain in the not distant past...

in regards to your oil filter block. if the stock rb30 threaded screw on fitting is there, you might want to measure the exact diameter on it, then check the block sleeve.

My first motor failed because I left the 30 one on, which is a beez dick too small for the sleeve, and oil does not circulate properly, and caused the same failure that you have suffered.

if you do have the rb30 one on the block, you need to get another one, or rb25 one which has the thicker sleeve.

Those bits you found look alot like the woodruff key or keyway that holds fhe crank gear and balancer on.

Im putting an oil cooler on my rb30 thanks for the tip ecr33 i might have done the same...

Cometic

Also on the crappy cometic gasket the rivets on the gaskets would need to be removed.

So thankfully I have a mill so port match the big boy head ports.

And for the grande finale

Shazam another one bites the dust. 2.7 miles that one lasted.

Well I'm assuming the valves are going to be bent. i got everything back to TDC with the belt off, the idler snapped. WTF man i bought a cam belt tension gauge and had everything set to 196nm. WTF

The man's trying to keep me down man i swear.
