pistons are in as well as the head studs tomorrow morning the head will go on and then we do timing and put everything back together let it run for a good 500 or so miles and tear the streets up ooo and i went overboard on cleaning everything to make sure nothing was even slightly dirty as you can see in the pics.And i rehoned the cylinder walls

 

looks like its coming along good man!!!! It was probley a good idea to rehone the cylinder walls i cant wait to see the thing up and running again!!

 

i cant wait to see this thing back together!! vids asap!

 

Looks very familiar https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/advanced-performance-modifications-130/what-does-hole-no-1-piston-%3D-94870/ you will be glad you honed the cylinders I did the same and I am at 2000 miles and still going strong not a drop of oil burned. Now if my turbo kit would just get here.

P.S. dont forget to change oil at 50 and 500 miles

 

 

i cant wait for it to be runnig again

 

damn they look shiney bro.....i hope to have my engine forged by the end of summer....something about a turbo forged 2.4 motor that screams torque to me...anyways good luck with the break in and i hope she holds up for ya

 

glad things are working out!! that 500 miles of babing it is gonna be torture!!!

 

btw those grinding/shining wheels in the pictures look rough...lol

 

Might I ask how you honed with crank/girdle still on? Did you just cover the bottom so you didn't get shavings on the crank, or did you just make sure to clean the block out good.

I just finished my 4th LSJ about a week ago in California, you won't have any troubles timing it, very simple design.

 

left the girdle on but cleaned the entire thing like crazy. and what grindings? the actual honing of the block?

 

Yeah, I assumed giving the sleeves a little hone would leave a little bit of metal. All the ones I built had low miles and didn't need honed.

 

yeah mine had really low miles also but the fact is that i am better off honing it and reseating the rings and whatnot again

 

now trix what are you planning on pushing?? I mean you built the car why are people sayin that they hope she holds up, it should hold up no problem if its built am i rite??

 

nice work bro. keep it up.

 

yes if its built right it SHOULD hold...you always run the risk of getting a faulty part that may fail but thats how the game goes...i have no doubt his motor will last

 

yah i hope so too im thinking bout going this route here soon also just am not sure yet i wanna see more people and their numbers and so forth before i drop the 6 grand into parts

 

I lost count of how many times I've said that

 

Yeah I'm sorry to hear about your situation....oo and btw you suck in gta 4 j/p

 

I can't wait till i go turbo and blow my motor. I need to have a good excuse to build it up so my girlfriend doesn't give me crap hahaha.

 

wow lol

 

yeah....i know.....

 

nice lol well i guess i wont be working on my car today i keep throwing up and im mad dizzy and i have a 102 fever

 

where did you find the torque specs and pattern for the headstuds???

 

when it's running. stay off the damn rev limiter.
