and yes 0.5mm, so much easier working with metric at times, and not with all those fractions and shit

 

IIRC the bolts are 14mm.

 

I Was bored today so I decided to remove the lower rotating Assembly.

 

if you want to save that crank at all (even to sell it), i would not leave it out like that, and at least put it into the block, and let it rest there; otherwise it has undue stress put on it, which can eventually make it take a set with it bowed/bent (you want to support it at the main bearings)

 

Good tip on storing the crankshaft.
I'm going to atleast the 3.5 crank.

 

Any updates on the new engine?

 

Same here, been wondering what you have going on.

 

I was wondering where RP has been. He hasnt logged on since 12-23.

 

^ are you a Sherlock Holmes or something ? Hehe i wouldn't even bother to check that

 

I keeps tabs on all yall.

 

I'm special!

 

Not you.

 

Lmao!

 

 

:gheyhug:

 

lol, but why do think civic does that, he has no life outside of here , since he can't even get a girlfriend with his baldness

 

you both guys should get these tees

 

You post just as much as I do (13.24/day vs 13.31/day) !

And the chicks dig the receding hair line. Dont hate.

 

have one partially too , but it's only a widow's peak though, and even then has not gone back any further in years

 

I have just left the car alone for a while.
I was getting to super obsesive with any extra money going to just one place. And since the trans was acting up,I just fixxed up my other car and got it back up for the winter just incase the trans went.Then x mas got a little over carried away in a excess of 3k spent.
Then x mas I got a 1/5 scale r/c baja with a 30.5cc engine to play with,so my mind was drifting to another toy.
I actually got a new set of upper camber ball joints today in the mail.
I think in the next day or two I will be droping the car off to get the ball joints,alinement,the trans filter and switches in.To lazy to do it myself in the cold.
Then if the the trans stuff helps then I will continue on, if not.who knows.
I do have the manifold completed with polished plenums the valve covers and the manifold cover painted.
front valve cover is purple.Back is black. Manifold cover is purple and polished.

 

Stand the crank up when storing.

 

can't it still compress in length though, instead of bowing...

 

Every machine shop I have ever been in stands them on end. They all can't be wrong.

 

standing up, moves the deflection/bow, to a plane where you can't feel it with the engine running (but where you might really have issues though is on like a inline 6, or V12 where the crank has some length to it, and being too short to fit in all the mains

 

I think it would take an awfully long time (like longer then I'll live)to cause a crankshaft to shrink! HAHA Thats funny shit. Sorry man, I just don't agree with you at all. But to each his own!

 

lol, but yeah all i am saying is to store it in the block especially if you got a block to put it in, so that all the mains are supported

 

If you have a block to store it in. Do it. Otherwise I would have it standing up.

 

I haven't moved on any farther yet.
I snaped a pic of my things so I can atleast show the the manifold cover ,and valve covers that I painted.
Got to show something it's been awhile.And I think I will be starting to play with the car again.
I was just out ripping on the car and the trans seams to be holding.
If the trans is set.The mod bug will be coming back.

 

ZEX purple

 

Well, it looks like I when up and done it.
3.7 guts are on the way.
Just waiting for the block to get finished
Not enough dough to get everything I want this time but,
I sure made a good start.
Crank,rods,pistons,and rings.
Pockets are feeling about 12 hundo lighter.

Bored and stroked sounds good I just hope it's worth my pennys.

 

Are you going to do all the work yourself? I recommend selling your current tranny while it's still good, and get an odyssey tranny before the build is done.

 

Nice to see another member doing the same build!

 

What are your plans for engine management?

 

All the mechanical work ,yes.
Tunning I dought it.
I was thinking if the trans holds on I might just try slaping a new convertor. Well see what my money looks like when the time comes for a tranny choice.

Not sure yet I just want to get it together first.
Isnt blue is our cheapest most flexible for the money solution ?

 

Looking for interest in my car,I know there is some somewhere.
A little more power won't hurt.
So spoolin,how much faster was your car after your build ?From stock.
Any timed runs ?
I'm hoping for reverse wheelies

 

VTEC in reverse, i have done that a couple of times....



or hitting the brakes, and having ABS kicking in, in reverse

 

Gain in torque was well worth the build. Never got a chance to ake some 1/4 mile passes. I ran a local 1/8 mile with some Falkin Rt-615's. If I remember correctly I was running 7.9-8.0 spinning second.

 

Is your cl is full weight ?

 

There is no way he could have done that without spray or drag radials. I dare anyone to test me on that statement

 

how many subs did you have at one point agin with how many layers of dynomat...

:ginger:
