Hey dude shout out from Jamaica, thank God for guys like you on KZread teachers of a billion arts. Respect

Just came across your channel. Love the videos so far! Can’t wait to see the finished product brother 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Just finished building my d16 and it spins with the same amount of effort, I’m glad it’s normal ,at first I thought it was too tight ,I guess I was just use to how it spun with broken in 100k bearings

Looking good Nick! Keep it up homie 🙌🏼

This is awesome!!!

Good work 👍

Great video

Hey Nick, do you know if the piston positions and the rods notches are the same for D16Y8 and do you know if the two notches have to be on the one site of the rods like at the video?

Thanks man now ima watch this every day till I gain confidence and donit myself xuz my car is parked my Kranz bearings r bad

Nice!

Asking why did you put gap the 1st piston rings ty! My 1st car is a honda civic so learning engine rebuilds help.

hi is .018 top ring and .020 2nd ring,, good for my stock y8?? cuz i want to copy your build ,, cuz i see on vitara build spec is .020-.024 mm for the top ring and 2nd ring,,, what is the best spec for me plss help im not going to turbo my car anyway thank you

Awesome video. just curious, what did you do with the main bearing that was too tight? did you obtain a different bearing to bring it into spec?

@@JamesOutland I would move the bearing to another spot and see if that spot was tight, if it was I would contact the company I bought the bearings from and get a replacement. If that first journal was still tight after moving the bearing, I would have to have the crank machined to fit better.

If I remember correctly, I think I copied a boostedboiz or PFI speed video. Figured they know their stuff

I am building a d16 turbo vitara for my 24 hours of lemons car, and the piston to wall clearance worst case is 0.0059" before a mild hone which is needed for the new rings. I'm wondering if we just send it loose, or if we should spend the extra cash to bore it out, and get 75.5mm pistons?

@NickSabella

Жыл бұрын

Send it loose. You might get some piston slap but as long as the rings are gapped properly it’ll be fine

I have that same piston ring compression tool to insert the pistons into the block and it sucks. I cracked a ring because of this

What did you do about the one bearing that was to tight and did you reuse the bolts and what torque spec

@NickSabella

2 жыл бұрын

I just sent it with the tight clearance. I reused the cradle bolts but I used new rod bolts. I can’t remember the torque specs I used for the rods because it was in the instructions that came with them. I used 2 steps to 38 ft lbs for cradle

I have a y7 im putting a turbo kit on and when i pulled the oil pan there was a bunch of copper flakes in the pan. The oil also had what looked to be aluminum flakes when you shine a light in it. The car doesn’t have any noticeable knock though. Only 100k on it everything is factory. Is there anything copper in the valve-train that it could be coming from?

If it was just minor shavings id just send it but there were big flakes in the pan. Will probably have to get sent out to a machine shop :/
