Big Thanks! To Bill & Patrick over at Mountain High Performance
Home Page
I sent Bill my Crank/Rods/Bearings/Valves to get Cryotreated and he was able to send me some pics to show just how cold these parts get
I highly recommend them, they’re no stranger to DSMs, Patrick is a fellow DSMer and even on the DSMLink forums
Not only are they EXCELLENT in turnaround time but great in customer service!
After that,
Parts were sent directly over to TCC for his Dry Film Lubricating coating...
TCC Powder and Ceramic Coating
Definitely did an excellent job in the coating and masking off the journals!
Building the Bottom End
I had the block
*Bored .020 w/torque plate
*Decked
*Line Honed
*Hot Tanked
*Bottom End Fully Balanced
*Cryotreated - Crank/Rods/Bearings
*Ceramic Coated - Pistons/Rods/Crank
Parts
*OEM Crank (Cryotreated/Ceramic Coated Counterweights)
*Wiseco 1400 HD .020 Pistons (Ceramic Coated Tops)
*Manley “I” Beam Rods (Cryotreated/Ceramic Coated)
*Clevite Main Bearings STD (Cryotreated)
*ACL Rod Bearings STD (Cryotreated)
*Kiggly Main Girdle
Piston Ring Filing
1st thing I like to do is file the rings. Wiseco calls for .018 TOP and .020 Second but since I’m planning on running around 40-45psi with a shot on top of that I decided to go with a .020 TOP .023 Bottom.
Tools I used
Piston Ring Filer, Ring Compressor, Feeler Gauge
Magnet, Dial Indicator
Lubriplate Assembly Lube, ARP Moly Lube
Plastigage
Here's what comes ina set, Top, 2nd and Oil Rings
I like to fill up a cup with oil to make sure the walls are always lubed up and ill re-lube everytime I take out the ring…
The best way to set the ring in the center of the bore is by using a piston w/ring. This will insure that you get the most accurate reading with the feeler gauge…
Check the starting end gap with a feeler gauge…
When using the Piston Ring Filer, I always file down (1) side only and use the other as a reference..
Next is the Bottom Ring, same method applies except when filing this ring, be careful as it will be a lot easier to file than the TOP ring…
