I'm about ready to reassemble an engine out of a TR4. I've had it cleaned
up, liners rebored to 87mm, pistons and rotating parts balanced, and new
cam bearings installed. I'm installing new main and rod bearings.
This is to be a street engine, not a race engine. All I'm concerned with
now is the short block; I'm not soliciting advice about the head. Here
are my questions:
1. How do I install the plug behind the camshaft?
2. I'm going with original-style oil seals, front and rear. Are they up
to the task?
3. How do I get the block attached to an engine stand?
4. What sealant is recommended where the liners make contact with those
two 8-shaped metal gaskets?
5. Will I need to bolt-down the liners using washers and bolts in order
to keep them in place?
6. Is there anything peculiar to this engine that I need to be careful
about as I proceed to install crank, cam, pistons?
