With respect to the king bearings, since there was no damage to the journals or crank, guessing you all used standard size? Also do you find that those bearings are within spec for the 3 variation options for the ford/Volvo factory bearing replacements?

Im busy getting everything ready for my complete rebuild! Thank you for a informative video gents! Cheers

This is a very good video for some one trying to learn about engines because they go in to a lot of detail about the engine

Hi, so I take it the days of plastigauge for the shell bearings are long gone then.

Great video , have you ever built a Z28NEL engine 2.8 V6 Turbo ,

Do the main bearing bolts need to be replaced at a hydb/hydc engine? Equivalent b5254T from volvo. Torq spec's are not clear to me for the little block bolts, 24 and 17nm + 90 degrees? Torque spec camshaft cover is not mentioned?

Could you please assist if I put a dailgauge on my number one piston and turn the engine to tdc mark then my timming mark on my crank does not correspond to the mark on the oil pump so if you use the timming tools the mark alighn with the oil pump but the pistons number one is not full on tdc.

hey guys, I've been looking for a service/repair manual for the 2010 Focus RS Mk2, any idea where I can buy one?

Great video I’m thinking of buying an ST225, but worrying if I put what I buy in for a block mod how much would it cost to have this work done if the liners were found to be cracked.

Hi, im from brazil and have recently rebuilt my engine. I get no leaks or issues with the pcv valve. Also my oil pump is new but im getting something like 0.8bar oil pressure at idle and 3.0 bar at 4000rpm. According to the manual im a bit off the ideal oil pressure. We checked rod bearings and their clearence is within standards. What can i check next? Im out of options in my head.

Block is shimed? Rebuild with new sleeves?

How much 518 did you use roughly ? Just £55 a 50ml tube here lol 😆 but obviously need it. Is 100ml a rough estimate of use of more ?

I really enjoyed this video, great work guys! Also, Is it possible to use with this engine the intake camshaft from a Volvo 2.4i (C30/S40/V50/C70)engine? Will it provide any performance gains?

Anything is possible with the right amount of parts, money and skill. The question is more of - is it worth the cost? There are a few who have installed HYDA Engines into other models; however the ROI isn't always worth it. against switching out! Hope that this helps, TeamBD
