The 5S block machining has now been completed. The head was serviced too, and that went smoothly with no issues found. This means that Advance will start reassembling everything very soon!

Rob. I like it. I'm sure it would already have been taken care of but I have seen it forgotten when swapping from 3S to 5S block. Tap a thread in the oil feed for the 5S balance shafts and seal in a grub screw.

You're not the first person to mention that, but it's already been done :-) I think it was done in the photos too, but it's just hard to see.

?? Mine doesn't have balance shafts. I thought it was only the early model blocks that have them.

My 98+ 5SFE had balance shafts which needed to be removed.

I'm pretty sure the balance shaft thing is to do with whether it came from a Celica or a Camry, not what year it is

Jaemus is spot on. Origin of the block dictates the balance shafts.

My 5SGTE has the Camry block with a Celica crankshaft. This thread has more detail, see the 1st post section 5SFE Parts / Block Prep C: https://www.mr2oc.com/61-3sgte-turbo/395274-how-build-5sgte.htmlI have attached the associated picture which has been removed from that thread, and was sent to my engine builder for reference, so Rob will be fine.

Wow that's nice and tidy. Did you help design it all?
