Dial cam

 After installation of the Tomei Poncam.

I did not set the cam in proper position. So figure out the best way to optimise the cam is to dial the cam. 

Send it to a dial cam specialist called deng dial cam to set it proper. 

Found out that the center line for the intake was slightly off at 124' due to head was skim w metal head gasket. And exhaust was set at 102' by previous mechanic. The specialist advance it to 110' for the exhaust to optimizer response and high end power.

Work in progress. 

Only dialing cams. 

After the work done. Power n response is much more better but still need touch up by tuner to retard the timing and probably a dyno to fully optimize the power. 

Starter issue again

 Having some cranking issue with the starter.

So decided to just swap the starter which I have service last time with the old one. 

Newly service high speed starter from ae111. 

Swapped out Old starter from ae80. 

New starter back in the engine. Hopefully no starting issue after this. Need to place a heat shield to prevent the hot manifold from failing the starter. 

Installing the new starter 

JDM Corolla grille with lamp bezel

 

Got this original Corolla logo with chrome grille and lamp bezel.

Installed the new face.

Looks proper.

Previous grille and lamp bezel doesn't look great. (Taiwan bezel)
