little update today

last night i got the crank out, all thats left is the pistons, but to get those out i have to remove the carbon ridge on the top of the sleeves.

i also got a set of telescoping gauges, and a micrometer so i can measure the bore and bearings

tommorrow ill prolly start measuring the crank shaft, what sizes should i be looking for, and do i need to get the crank turned, what are the standar and over sizes for the main and rod journals?

Register and download the Helms manual for your car/engine. It should tell you most of what you need to know.

 

Is there really any "easy" way to weed through that download though?? I tried looking through it, but 18,000 pages in PDF form is a bit intimidating. I'm starting to think I'm probably better off just ordering the damn book

 

Just use Honda Bearings.

For the crank journals, you measure the width of the journal on the crank and then each journal with the girdle bolted on. Subtract the two and that's your clearance. Remember, boosted engines like a bit of a loose fit.

Rod bearings, same thing, measure the rod journal on the crank and on the rod. Then, PLASTIGAUGE them for a more precise clearance.

Here's a really good writeup about how to build an engine.

those were dial calipers you posted way up there not micrometers. or dial indicators I dont know the differnce. but looks real good man.

 

so many d-series builds these days
