On cold its 60+ warm idling is 20+ idling in gear is 8-10 psi

The top ring .19 second is .22 oil rings are .28 noise at idle and. Under a load bit quiets a ton after warmed up to operating temp

I was starting to think my pistons were to loose it sounds factory after warmed up . takes a while just idling I drive it a 10 minutes and its gone. that sound normal?It has survived a 7500 rpm pull and it pulled hard and no knocking afterwards.:ohdamn: I have already did that once thats...

Ok I have a rebuilt engine maybe I did something wrong or the machine shop did. My oil clearances are 0.003 mains and rods .20 over JE/Eagle setup polished/balanced crank. it start it cold and you hear a knocking that appears after 5-6 seconds of idling then goes away when my car is at...

They were tight they rolled in fine, a bit of dragg to it when I put them in. I ordered some new ones acl I believe. I will see with these ones too.

Assembly lube was used, and the crank was polished. It didn't need a regrind and the right bearings were used. Caps were torqued to 42 lbs according to the eagle instructions

thank you very much i'd like to know ,I'll be p@#$%d if pulled my engine for a piston slap issue I have JE pistons

I used the arp lube and tourqued to 42lbs clearances were .003 on all, i used lukas assembly lube, and the bearings never crushed. I used regular 5-30 to break it in seeing it is cold here in maine. and i did the motoman break in and haven't been to easy. What does it look like to you? i had a...

stock crank pulleyI had it polished by a reputable machine shop

Thats weird that you say this cause I never installed the caps wrong they way they came assembled, it is the way I installed them. Could an oil plug coming out wile driving. cause this much damage if i turned it off before it was completely empty?. rookie mistake.

Is this normal bearing wear these are rod bearings. Had some sort of knocking pulled engine to see this I need opinions and the clearances were .003 this engine only had 300 miles on it. The crank was polished and cleaned before install. I did everything right so whats the issue.

I never switched the rod caps and they were torqued to 42 lbs that is what it indicated in the manual on the eagle rods. Could be piston slap the work was done by a reputable machine shop and my cylinder one had to be sleeved they had my pistons they couldn't have messed I can re install them...

200 miles on fresh motor and you mean to tell me I have to rebuild my whole motor again because of a faint rod knock which could be just a defect since there ain't no metal shavings in my oil?

Thanks for the tips guys, my problem doesn't lie here I'm getting plenty oil to the head its rod knock unfortunetly. Whats the best way to figure out which cylinder? Drop the pan and wiggle?

so I just pin pointed my problem It's F#$%#@NG Rod knock its faint so I think I got it in time. My lifters are getting plenty of oil I got a helper and took the valve cover off with the spark plugs, and cranked it to see oil going where it needed to. I did the plug removal when running to come...

oil pump bolt came loose? thats what it sound like to me its hitting the casing where the castle plug it on the pump.

Since these stock 6 bolt head bolts are ok, I never compared my after market top lines to the stockers, so people may think I'm crazy for saying this but, why not notch the head bolt 1mm around where the oil comes through the block to the head. or 2mm either way you will be doing the sam e...

It sounded like this on first start up all was prelubed correctly my main bearings clearance is .003 and so are the rods I'm within spec. all the bearings to the balance shafts were sealed by turning them to block the oil ports. the rear balance shaft didn't need one cause the oil comes from the...

Has anyone figured out why we are having this problem after BS removal? our bearings are flipped. And the rear BS gets oil from the shaft so no need for one there correct? Read somewhere it didn't need to be flipped so I didn't. My car sound like a diesel at start up after 2k its normal and...

I am also having this same issue Can some one shed some light on this situation. my BS are removed and I changed to revises 3g lifters and they still sound like the 1g pieces of S#@$! I never rebuilt the head. It had 80k but I had it turned upside down and side ways, when I was rebuilding to...

Is there a how to on this modification to the restrictor plate to increase oil pressure in the head. I to have my balance shafts removed and still have my oil squirters installed and seems like I'm not getting enough volume to my head and I have 3g revised lifters. any help with this would be...

"I have some blue top 1g 450's" "and Black top 2g 450's"

Thanks for the tip probably saved me from another head ache. lol I know that they were on there good so 40 lbs should do it w/locklite.

I was wondering if there is a better way to install the converter bolts. Is there a window or a special wrench thats designed to get in the little place to tighten or loosen them? i had the head off and i took them off via the starter opening. so now the motor is complete and installed to the...

I've ridden in a fully built CRX with a B20 block from a crv bored 20 and stroked , domed pistons and a B16 head from the SIR crx (V-tec killers cams) that car with slicks ran 8.3 in the 1/8 we don't have a track here 1/4 mile. I have to travel 2 hours away. that seemed quick for an N/A build...

thanks just making sure how does the oil get in there and be sufficient enough to lubricate it at .003 clearances with out the oil ports

Just asking this, I'm assembling my engine and my EAGLE rods don't have the oil ports on the rod where the bearing has the port hole. Is this a flaw, is there suppose to be an oil port like the stock big rods? my rod cap are torqued to 47lbs with the lube. is that correct too.ROFL

So my instructions said to take my bore and x it by 0.0050 for the top ring and 0.0055 for the second ring. I have JE pistons and rings I ended up .018 top and .021 for the second and oil rings were .016 .015 minimum my block was bored over .20 = 85.5 mm I was just wondering with my setup 16g...

Why would you think he was reusing a head gasket gofer? everyone know not to i've never seen anyone do it lol. peace.:hellyeah:

thanks

My 21mm piston pin slides into my rod and has a slight drag to it. Is it enough oil clearance noup and down play at all. Is that normal?

I dont know why I posted that brain cramp my rpms aren't the same with it I'll edit it.

really like what you did excellent job mad props!

I've read it is normal for AWD autos mine does it or close to it at 60 I'm taching 3,100rpm

Same in my area, mine is in mint condition some minor scratches no rust. (common here) I maybe see 1 or 2 in a year if I do SEE them either outta state plates or rusted to the point you can throw a cat through them lol. All the way from Maine HERE Mine was a rare find at 86,000 for 1200 cash...

I read it depends on the year. I want to know the identity of these cams or the specs

I have cams marked "A" on the pulley side and "F" on the end what are these from?

So from my auto cams I'd benefit from the 95+ cams swap instead of 244 lift I'd have 252 lift more air flow correct? I have some 1g cams that are stamped with "F" and the end and "A" at the pulley side. i have both sets 2g and 1g what would be best thanks.

I have a set of 1g cams they have the markings "A" and "F" they were pulled out of a 1g manual car. what are the specs I want an upgrade from my auto cams. I also have a set of cams from a 2g 96+ awd manual would those be better? opinions and specs would be appreciated thanks guys.LOL...

1G cams with A,F on them are 90-91 cams correct? I also have a set of 2g cams both from a manual drive car. What would be the better of the two. i can load pic if need be. the 2g cams a 6-2 a 7-2 any help would be great:thumb:1g cams:

Post pics of the install

I think like motoman says the first 20 miles is criucial. Get on it hard after its at operating temp and deccellerate back down to say 20 then back on it then drive it moderatly for the first 500 after changing the oil, after the first 20-50 miles. If its forced induction alot of exerted forces...

I asked this question beacause: 1. I want to save money. 2. They are out of my car at 80k (never overheated) 3. I'm not planning on running 10 seconds 4. To see if the info I read was correctThanks for the in depth Info guys. You are all wise and full of knowledge Mad Props :thumb:

Thanks for the info guys. I should have just said I wasn't running high boost is it ok to reuse the stock 6 bolt studs. I pretty much got my answers from the top dsm posters. Pretty much what I was looking for. I know they were thicker and shorter meaning stronger. thinner and longer means...

Are these stretch studs like the 7 bolt according to a thread I just read.They were also said to be as strong as the ARP replacement is this correct? I have a set lying areound with 80K on em is it a good alteranative to spending 80bucks or just spend it. i don't plan on running more than...

Thanks for the info that link you sent me should be stickyed in the block and head forum for future refference so people don't ask these questions again.

so if my crank was fine i had it polished your saying et that balanced even though it is balanced already? with the rods and pistons?I will have it done thanks again thanks you again spawnedX and others on this forum who gave me the correct route advise

that was intended to you and thanks for the info the thread has ended thanks guys for the input.
