Cam Covers – Painted
This is the initial result of painting the cam covers. It will need a little touch up to be perfect. First I cleaned the covers with a wire brush and then sanded them down. Then I prep-washed with 3M Wax and Grease Remover. Then I did an under coat of 3M Engine Enamel in Aluminium Colour. Then masked the Toyota and DOHC signs off and painted it in VHT Wrinkle Plus Black. Waited 48 hours and then baked them in a makeshift oven, made of a heat gun and a fruit box.

At the Panel Shop
Good progress is being made on the MZ12 at the panel shop. It has now been stripped and is in the process of getting primed, then having any rust cut out and fresh metal welded in place.
6MGE – Reconditioned
Got the engine back from the engineering shop today. Ready to be unwrapped, cleaned off and reassembled.
Cam Covers – Cleaned
6MGE Crank Pulley / Harmonic Balancer – Rebuilt
Sent my harmonic balancer to Precision Parts in Wagga Wagga and they rebuilt it for me. Originally it wasn’t looking so great.
Transmission – Disassembly
Removed all the electronic components from the automatic transmission before taking it to be rebuilt.
Engine – Disassembly – Part 2
Continued disassembling the engine. Pulled the head off, everything looks good
Disassembling the head getting it ready to take to the machinists.
Valve lifters removed and stored in oil.
Engine – Disassembly – Part 1
Worked on disassembling the engine today. Got up to the point where the next thing to do is remove the head.
To the Panel Shop
After a year and a half of sitting in my garage the MZ12 was loaded up and taken to the panel shop for body work and a respray. Here it is sitting outside the shop.
Hopefully it will look something like this when it comes back.
