Ok guys so , cams are set at tdc : #1 lobes pointing away from lifters, and winded Pistons clockwise from my 10mm to tdc with head put on. 

Now question I have is #6 valves are open and # 6 piston is at tdc? This right ?

That's called overlap. Top of exhaust stroke, beginning of induction stroke, both valves are slightly open. Exhaust is closing, inlet it opening.

Ah got it , so it’s correct as it is yes ?

i know when I set the timing ... the right time this time that things should align probably

Yes it is correct. Whenever a cylinder is on compression/firing stroke (ie, #1 in this case) then the other cylinder that is also at TDC will be on the exhaust/induction overlap.

Thank you for being so informative gtst, this is awesome ! So seems like I’m on the right path and all is good!

 

@ben that’s how I got them back from the shop , but I didn’t torque head down yet. Just mocking everything up and make sure it’s all ok.

now just gotta wait for my days off to get it all assembled and done!

Yes, but they still look concerning. Viz the circled examples.....

All of this looks very unimpressive. Got some closeups?

Ohhhh they put assembly lube on them ! Yeah kinda looks like shit from that close up but I can assure all Rust is of and they lubed all lobes!

thanks for the heads up tho gtst ! You’ve been of upmost help

Set everything to time on the cams and crank. And get everything bolted down , now time to put on belt and torque the cam bolts after. 

Thank you everyone for the much appreciated help! I think this time around I got things right lol

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
