When I started this build I knew nothing about building a block. The most I had done was arp headstuds and a new head gasket. But with the help of dsmtuners and my chiltons manuel I have been able to get this far. I read for days of people saying if you have never built an engine let a pro do it for you. But how are you ever suppost to do it if you never try? And honestly who has that much money to drop into a new motor. remember we have dsm's for a reason.....bc most of us our on a budget. So here I am showing it can be done and let me remind you im only 17

Well i hope everyone is enjoying this build and stay tuned for some more work to be done

Why in blogs and not threads?

Why in blogs and not threads?

Easier to follow along with for those of us who don't want to sift through discussion replies. Blogs are a better fit for those looking to share a project in a journal format. Threads are more for asking questions and having a discussion. In blogs, you can follow the updates more naturally and read the replies if you want down at the bottom. In threads, you have to read through all the replies just to find the updates, since threads are structured more for a discussion, not a journal.

I've covered this in the sticky thread in this forum. Obviously not many are reading it.

 

[Gooberlog]

I have never made a blog but i can see where it would be helpful. Like the holset turbo threads, there are 6 sections as of now and each section/thread is long as can be. So i had to subscribe to the thread and read each new post to keep up with it or else i'll have to read through everything and all of the good and useless posts in there to get the same info. It seems that the blog section would be good for some cases. I guess i'll have to adapt to more of this new age stuff.

 

[Ludachris]

I guess i'll have to adapt to more of this new age stuff.

Same here my friend... if people would just get past hating change, they'd see the benefits once in a while (like you pointed out in your reply). For all those who love this site, there sure seems to be a lack of trust in my vision sometimes. Have I ever steered you guys wrong?

And as much as I'm on this site (multiple times a day and everyday unless i'm out of town) i really need to play around with the blog idea cause i doubt it's going away anytime soon.

I just found the BLOG tab at the top tool bar and read the guidelines, seems easy enough. I'll post up a blog if i can ever make it out to the track w/o the rain.

BTW: back on topic, the build is looking really good!

 

[98mitsubishigst]

im the same way, people told me to NEVER attempt to do a engine rebuild.. i told them, watch me. im 18 and i knew nothing about rebuilds.. Well i have torn mine down now. Working on sending it to machine shop.. good work bryce. i love the build. Post on my blog let me know whatcha think of mine =)

 

[92talontsibryce]

Ok well its been a week or so since I have updated and alot of work has been done. Im getting so close to dropping the motor back in I can taste it but yet I know I still have a long way to go. Well here is my update so enjoy.

Next on the to do list was the rear main seal. Here is the order of how all the seals go.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

I put a thin layer of white grease on the rear main seal to help it go on. I used a rubber mallot to slide it in.

The oil ring installed. The hole on the ring goes to the bottom.

Install your arp washers first if you have aftermarket springs otherwise the spring will block you from putting them on with the head installed.

And here is the oil pan installed. Dont forget there are 2 little bolts that go to the timing side of the oil pan.

 

[Wrecklezz1]

great build man

any final updates??

 

[turbowop]

You might have been better off with a bead of RTV around the pan flange rather than that gasket. These cars never used a gasket from the factory, just RTV. Some people have had the aftermarket gasket leak, but it's hit and miss. You may get lucky.

 

[92talontsibryce]

Ok well i have been working on the talon and havnt been updating lately so ill try to catch yall up. To start off with i got my prothane motor mounts all inserted.

This is my transmission mount with a pretty big crack in it.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

First i drilled holes around the pin untill the pin came out.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

Here is the pin once out.

I didnt get a pic of this but use some sort of saw to cut through the metal ring.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

once you cut the ring u can begin to wedge something between the ring and the motor mount to get the ring out.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

Here is the mount with the ring out.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

lube up the mount and press the new prothane mounts in. And then press the new pin into the mount.

Spectacular work. Nice thread too... I should be bloggin my wrench time as I must drive across canada for family and Targa!! hahah keep it rollin

Amazing work, let it ride

 

[1sick91tsi]

I hate to be a debbie downer but as of post 115 your pistons are in backwards. The bigger reliefs in the valves are suppose to face the intake valves. If it will hit the valves, i dont know, but i thought i would let you know.

It looks correct to me... ?

 

[TFFC]

Also not a big deal but, the copper spray is made for metal gaskets per permatex. The only gasket that will gain anything from the copper spray is the exhaust manifold gasket you put on. Its no big deal for it to be on the rest but doesn't do anything. Just a heads up! Other than that, great build

 

[1sick91tsi]

It looks correct to me... ?

The block is backwards in that picture....the water pump is sitting on the left if as you can see, insted of the right. meaning your looking at the block backwards. The pistons are in backwards, the deeper valve reliefs will face the exhaust side when you install the head.
