HUGE UPDATE CAR IS TOGETHER< BUT LOCKED OUT



lol, well i got busy this weekend, thought it was gonna be a maintenance weekend, and looked deeper way deeper ill let the pictures do the talking

































better pictures hopefully to come tomorrow and even more through the week, but read my sig and ull get an idea about my motor

 

 

I see...good luck w/everything.

 

How many K did you have on it?

 

Holy ****, that started out as maintenance?
Good luck with that. How many miles are on there, is all that about how it is supposed to look? Sorry, I'm a newb to internals, so pointers are welcome

 

piston #4 = fucked lol

 

Blowing oil out #4.

 

nightmares

 

yep oil = no fun, ohh well i was wanting an excuse anyways

 

lies all lies.........

 

Come on! No port and polish? Pfffff...not worth taking apart a block without it

 

well i sit at home waiting for parts again, and i dont work till thursday so im extremely bored, lol, stupid ******* work, maybe ill make a ranting threa i might be a ******* post ***** this week lol, oh well,

 

2.2 stroker+overbore time. Is what I am doing since my motor is in the same condition.

 

joey for some reason i can see ur car getting torn apart, and sitting for a very long time.

 

so yah, i got a question for some fellow builders, how crucial is it that i get my crank, rods, flywheel, and pistons balanced, or do i need to, im just kinda worried cuz if my pistons dont show up by the end of next week, i dont know ill be able to them balance in time, id like to have my car running for may lol, but if my pistons dont show up soon im screwed

 

any one lol

 

I am wondering this myself, esp since I am going to use a complete different rotating assembly. I am going to talk to my machine shop that is doing my block work, see what they recommend. I was however told that it isn't needed on an inline motor.

 

see i dont think i need to balance it, if i dont when my pistons show up i should be less than a week and i should be running with my full set-up i got some suprises up my sleeve yet

 

We are balancing everything in my engine. I would say for big power, take the extra time needed.

 

I've seen and built motors without balancing, but unless you plan on rebuilding all of the time I would balance them. There is going to be a lot less wear and tear on everything crank, rods, cylinder walls, bearings, you get the idea.

Hope everything goes well

 

well this one is to get me through untill i build a 2.6 L monster, well porolly a 2.4 block and 2.0L head, so i think i might go with out, everythign looks mint cept piston #4

 

Personally, I'd do a static balance of everything, then balance the whole rotating assmebly too. My personal belief is that if you're going to do a performance rebuild, do it right or not at all.

 

well block was dropped off today, im just resizing all my pictures and i should have some up today

 

honestly whats the point of putting good parts in if your not going to do it right

 

really balancing isnt right or wrong, its a caution and side note,
