Continuing. As a starter, I want to inform that I bought an original Denso fuel pump from a Toyota Supra USA with 280 hp. It should suffice up to 500 horsepower ;)

And continued working on the engine. With the help of a friend, we put it upright and started installing the oil pan. First, you need to prepare the surfaces. Remove old sealant and clean with solvent (i.e., degrease before applying new sealant).
First, install the oil pickup tube and the oil deflector plate, then apply a thick layer of sealant on the oil pan (I used gray sealant) and put it in place. Then tighten evenly, but carefully to avoid stripping the threads!

That's it, the oil pan is installed)

Now we proceed with replacing the rear crankshaft seal. We remove the flywheel and pull out the old seal using a screwdriver.

Then I tried pressing in the new seal using the old one, but slightly missed and it went too deep, which isn't good as it may leak. So, had to remove the seal housing and press it in again. Now it's much easier. Don't forget to grease it so that it goes in smoother)

Next we prepare the contacting surfaces, degrease them, apply a thick layer of gray sealant and reinstall the seal with its housing. Tighten carefully as the threads are easily stripped!

Then bolt on the flywheel. Bolts need to be from manual transmission flywheel because automatic ones are shorter. They came in the kit) Don't forget to grease these bolts before tightening them. Then tighten everything to the proper torque and voilà—the flywheel is installed))

Now let's move onto the intake manifold) Disconnect all connectors and tubes, unscrew 2 nuts and two bolts and remove the throttle body housing. It turned out to be rather dirty though the manifold itself isn't very clean inside. But no worries, we'll wash it up and clean it properly)

Then unscrew 5 bolts and 2 nuts and take off the manifold)) Now everything goes into the washing machine for cleaning and scrubbing))

That's all for now, more to come... Looking forward to your comments and positive ratings))
