I'm doing a quick build this week and I need my car up and running by Thursday morning.I have all of the parts ordered and arriving tomorrow except I can not source rod cap bolts...

If anyone has LSJ rod cap bolts, OEM or Aftermarket, I am looking to buy today and will pay overnight.* Any help would be appreciated.* Bump if ya can...

 

F N A

Forget it, sleeves are fucked in 1 & 2...

...darton, here I come!

 

WTF happened man?!? Shoot pm?

 

What did your compression look like. I blew mine too but still at 110psi in the one that's F'd.

 

I have like 4 sets of lsj rod bolts lmk

 

I'd assume that it's been a long time coming w/ how rich my car was for a good amount of time back before I could tune it myself. That combined w/ a lot of hard driving a high HP took it's toll on the engine. It truly is a testimate to this motor how well and hard it ran even w/ compression like I had. I was trapping 109 w/ the M62 on a 2.79" and w/ the turbo at 15psi it felt a bit faster.

75-125-150-150

If I hadn't swapped to turbo, it would probably have held up for a good amount longer too. The pressure difference from the turbo was probably what put it over the edge. I'm going to guess that when I pull the pistons, I'll find a cracked landing on cylinder #1.

At this point, I'll just take my time and get the darton sleeves put in along w/ having the head P&P'd. I have diamond pistons and total seal rings being delivered today, lol...

See above,

Thanks, but it's no biggie now, I've got a good amount of time before the engine will be assembled again. Thanks though!

 

You gonna port the head while it's off?

 

Yes sir.

I'm also going to look into my options to replace the crap JBP cams and valve springs. Probably supertech valves and springs and a custom grind from Crower...

 

I'm debating if I'm going to go with the supertech valve springs or not. I don't plan on revving it past 7300rpm. I'm sending my head to a friend, who I think works with/for kaltechtuning, for a valve job and port the exhaust side of the head.

 

If you're keeping the stock cams, don't bother, just port...

 

I am keeping the stock cams. I'm just wondering how scuffed up my sleeve is. You got any pics of yours?

 

Cyl#4 = good


Cyl#1 = fubar

 

Dude, I just talked to the guy rebuilding my motor about my build. He said to go with .010" over, that way I can bore the cylinders to make sure they are truly round. That sometimes with mass produced engine parts they aren't perfectly round, although they are close.

 

He's right; however this engines tolerances tend to be better than most. I wouldn't go w/ more than .10 if you're running big power, but you should be fine on .10 over. I was a little worried about using stock bore for the reason that they may not be perfect. Don't have to worry about that now, lol...

 

How's the build going? And hey, if they are producing stuff it's not on there website.

Trade you your turbo kit for my TVS. LOL.

Hurry up and finish!!

 

You ever get your car up and running again?

 

Tom @ Crate Engine Depot.. He can get them to you quick too.. He was awesome to work with when I was in a rush for some odds & ends to get mine back on the road a few months ago..
