Just Another Rebuild

[IJ.]

Sometimes if you twist them on you can end up with low comp but it's not that common.

What you described should be fine as long as you didn't stretch them too far open.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I know I wasn't very rough with them but I'm willing to consider anything at this point.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Engine is all out again. Finished pulling it in a little under two hours.
Gonna crack that thing open again tomorrow after work.

 

[mk3forme]

Man the suspense is killing me!!

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

lol
Should have some answers by tonight. I'm expecting the worst. That way things can only look up. :biglaugh:

 

[Jaguar_5]

You sure do have a good attitude about this!

I would be so pissed off I don't know how I'd contain myself lol

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Yea, well no point in being pissed. I dunno it just isn't as big of a deal because I have pretty much everything needed so it's not like starting from scratch again.

If I detonated and had rods through the block and rod knock I don't I'd be quite as chilled about it.

 

[Jaguar_5]

Yes that is a very good point!!

Well, can't wait to find out what happened!

Very suspenseful!!

 

[suprahooked]

Ok tell what you found? We need pics. >>> been waiting
Hope nothin bad.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ok.
Well I got the head off and...

It clumps tight bitches!!

Hot spots on the flywheel and a cracking around one of the bolt holes.

The rest will be shown tomorrow.....
I need something to do at work after all. :biglaugh:

 

[mk3forme]

Man you are killing me already. What is the prognosis? Arent you at work yet? The motor looks good by the way.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Please show me the damage. :biglaugh:
The brown stuff rubs right off.

 

[suprahooked]

Looks like either large ring clearance, or bad head job seeping oil in cylinder, But what the hell do i know let the pros decide.

 

[IJ.]

Ric: #6 looks to have a LOT of vertical marks in the bore?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I don't recall feelings any grooves in the cylinders at all.
I really haven't noticed anything that sticks out to me.

 

[IJ.]

Ric: Just looks like a LOT of marks like the end gaps leave.....

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I will check again when I get back.
I know rounded the edges.

 

[IJ.]

LOL maybe I'm being too subtle
(there should only be 1 x 20 thou mark where the top ring doesn't touch the wall)

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ohhhhhhhhh.... yea way too subtle.
lol

 

[suprahooked]

Thats what i was thinking to big of ring gap.
I hope iam wrong.
