EastBay521 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 i thought i had one i was going to take a picture of it but i couldnt find it. think i had it on my other truck when i got rid of it Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I will get a pic of mine when I get back to the warehouse. Just a quick update on the head surfacing. I couldn't get the smallest feeler gauge under a straight edge. I think it was a .001 but defiantly a .003 so I would say it is very flat. Took a pic but hard to hold a straight edge and take a reasonable pic. But it is the same all the way across the head in every direction. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Get two short pieces of 4x6 lumber. Set the head on the pieces of wood, so the head to block surface is horizontal. then the straight edge will just sit there, while you check for flat with the feeler gauge. Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 No, I don't think I have to. The pumpkin on this toyota seems to clear. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 So i just noticed the ALT on the drivers side,is that going to clear the steering box,or is the pictures reversed. Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah the alt is on the driver side. I figure for now I will try it out. It seems to work better on that side cuz of the mounting lugs, and I didn't have to fab anything. The bracket I used is one that had a tensioner pulley on it. So I drilled the hole a little larger and threaded it for m10 1.5 and it works great. If it doesn't clear the steering box I will try dabbing something for the other side. This is the GM alt that is in the sticky in the electrical section. So I bent one if the upper control arms trying to press in the bushings. So now I'm going to fab some UCA with heim joints and hopefully not have to cut the cab inner fender to clear. I was planning to make them adjustable without having to take the arm off, but the heims I got were very expensive, so adjustment will have to be with the arm disconnected. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I dont know if the alternqtor on that side is a good idea. What bolt is the alt adjustment bolts too. I cant see it behind the pully? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 No, I don't think I have to. The pumpkin on this toyota seems to clear. sorry just thought of this then remembered u are running yota axle.......i hope......mine would hit about a inch down on the back of the pumpkin.... banged the fuck out of it ... prolly could notche the tubing but i just cut it off and moved it back .,.. not being critical .. just when i saw that bad ass frame sitting there it came to me instantly ... id run it if its a issue theres plenty of room under there to do it withthe bed on Quote Link to comment

I cant see it behind the pully? come on it could be cutting edge .... what we do if this is the next saturn alt upgrade.... i say run it the angle of the motor should keep it off the box and for me its intrigueing cuz my saturn alt hits theidleer arm when the belt gets old and needs replacing ... that will drive u crazy 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 come on it could be cutting edge .... what we do if this is the next saturn alt upgrade.... i say run it the angle of the motor should keep it off the box and for me its intrigueing cuz my saturn alt hits theidleer arm when the belt gets old and needs replacing ... that will drive u crazy It drives me crazy because it breaks the front lower alt. mount bolt every time it hits the idler arm top, I bet I have had to fix that 5 times so far, in the end I made a custom lower alt. mount that moves the bottom mount down an inch, that way I could tilt the 720 IR alt. in towards the engine more and run a shorter belt.

earlyvws Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have no idea if the alt is going to work. But it was a super easy install so I'm going to try it out. Later tonight I will get some pics of how it is mounted. It does work great for adjusting the belt tension though. 1 Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 This is the bracket I used. I don't know how many of you have this bracket. My L16 does not. So I will get a pic later tonight, but I only used the cast piece. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I went to the junk yard today and seen a few 620s with that AC bracket... Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I fixed my alternator with a bigger problem, A FJ20.hahahahaha Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Here is where the alt bracket is attached. If I thought of this earlier I would have welded up the hole and drilled a smaller one to fit around the M6 bolt that goes into the water pump. This is the stock bracket pictured in the earlier post. The only mod so far was to tap the top hole to M10x1.50. The only issue I'm having is finding a long enough bolt that has more threads and less shoulder. If I can't find the bolt I can open the front half if the hole a little larger so the shoulder can pass through. I threaded the whole length of the hole. Testing a shorter belt. It can bring the alt closer to the block, but the pulley alignment gets a little off cuz the bracket on top isn't straight. But if u liked this position u could just remove a little bit off the bottom bracket to get the alignment back. I did grind a little off the top of the alt to allow the top bracket to clear the alt. if I didn't already powder it I would have ground the bracket instead. So I got started on my UCAs. Made a jig and machined the bars. Broke a tap in one so gonna probably have to make another one. 1 Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Missed a pic. For some reason can't hit edit. So here is the lower bracket I was talking about tapping for an M10 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well it will be awhile before you get this running Im thinking it will stress the water pump and the front cover in that area with vibration and leak after a while. Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think I found a solution to that problem last night. On some 510 parts site I saw a strut they sell for the alt. picking up stuff to make one and relocate it off the pump. Thanks for the heads up. Since u guys are familiar with these things u know problems before I will. Quote Link to comment
Cpl620 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Damn, this whole project it moving along quick! I wish I had your knoledge and resources. Looking great man, im sure ill see it out and about when its done. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well it will be awhile before you get this running Im thinking it will stress the water pump and the front cover in that area with vibration and leak after a while. doesnt it pretty much mount the same way on the other side too ... shit i dunno evey motor i bought has used different holes for the alt bracket ... lol no your right theres two upper holes near the head u can use on passenger side Quote Link to comment
