Today is the last day of my two week staycation. Took way longer than I had expected to drop the Camry engine and I'm stuck waiting for parts.
Has been a good experience building exercise. Haven't broken anything, made friends with a recommended machinist, and learned about an issue with threads pulling out of the block on removing the exhaust side head bolts.
Valve train is in better shape than I expected. Gaps are a bit tight in a couple spots but will easily last for another year. Timing chain and tensioner are golden.
I have a game plan for the coming months and disassembly will be much easier the next time around.
