Des Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I pick up my engine from road and track tomorrow. I just got them to clean it and measure it up for me as i decided to build it myself seeing as ive got a worked 18RG to build now too :dance: Â Got a set of 20v factory headers today for my 16v, Will need to be re drilled but I'm cool with that as they should flow a bit more than the factory 16v cast manifold.

Trev Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Building it should be a good project for you and thanks i had alot of fun cleaning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Got the engine back today.  The bores are worn so i will need to go 20 thou over sized pistons. Crank looks good, No scouring at all on the journals just a little but on the rear crank seal surface. Oil pump is also worn but I'm not worried about that as I'm getting higher pressure pump with stronger gears. The pistons look new, Not a single wear mark on them just a few marks from them being chemically cleaned.  Mum cracked the shits because i have the Crank, Rods, Pistons, Oil pump and a few other small bits stored in my bedroom and it now smells like CRC, Need to open a window me thinks.  7 rib block  Pulleys, Flywheel etc.  42mm crank, Rods, Pistons etc.  Bigport 3 rib rods vs smallport 7 rib rods.  Pretty clean for used pistons.  Just some marks from the chemical cleaner but they wipe off.

Trev Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Pretty clean for used pistons. Â This might explain that... Â Before: Â After: Â The crank was very clean, All i did was removed the oil from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
