I tried it... just dented the exhaust... 😛
@Shane - haha, kinda ya..... it is but should be awesome when completed 😛
thanx!
ok there are a few pics missing... so will update soon but just had to post these today...
now the big job starts and the $$$$ will just go. 😀 😀
jip 😢 😢 😢
my plan was just to pull the motor to get the engine bay clean... then for shits and giggles I thought I'd remove the sump... i didn't laugh... :x
I found pieces of bearing in the oil, as shown in the pics...
so now like hennie said the big job starts...
Just gonna do a stock rebuild though... stock pistons rings ect. just get everything cleaned balanced etc. and then see what happens...
so ja... now to get prices...
sack dude. Good luck with the build
Thanx man...
REally not amped for this at all! but i'm just gonna bring it back to factory spec methinks...
Does anyone have a SR vvt cam gear? wanna put mine back again.
ok so I got rings and ACL race bearings yesterday... Now its the timing chain, chem clean the block and pistons. send the head away to get checked and tested. put the VVT back, get the exh mani from Q and then put everything back together...
Mini update - Motor now completely dismantled. Piston no1 looks not so good... oil on top, and bad scuff marks on the one side... strange thing is the sleeve look and feels 100% will take a pic tomorrow.
Next on the to do list:
Sending the head in for checking ect.
Clean block and pistons
Get new timing chain
fit rings and bearings
reassemble motor
Are you looking for a refund for this motor Rieks 😳
Good luck ,does not look like you going to make the Trackday 😢
Make sure the guys know what hey are doing with the head. If they cut the valve seats, the shims on top of the valves have to be checked for the right clearance.

haha, nah no refund, just a trade in for a RB 😛 hehehe
well It might be. basically cleaning everything this week, next week I'll send in the head. to get check out and then rebuild.. so might just make it for the trackday 😀
@ wynand - Who would you suggest? I don't have a issue sending it away to get checked?

Not sure, the one head i had rebuild was a big problem to get the shimming right.
Just make sure who ever works on the head, knows what needs to be done. u actualy need a special tool that fits into the hydr lifter hole, to measure the rocker shim hight.

ok... so I'm a bit behind my own schedule...
but I've started to clean the components...
I'll post pics tonite
The Piston in cylinder one looks horrible. like it chewed on the sleeve of the block or something. and also has small dents on the top on the one side. What I also so was the conrod on piston 1 was different to the others. like a aftermarket one. so it seems the previous rebuild was due to #1 conrod going bust... think they used the old piston again so I think cylinder #1 might've been resleeved....
Now I need to still send the head in to get checked and I need to get a head gasket too... After that I can start reassembly... 😀
Now for some good news. I've found a timing chain kit and some new lifters too. I also bought a stock SR conrod, just incase... dono the quality of the one that was in there... also a new set of thrust washers.
So now I have most of the parts... gonna clean the rest of the motor now, and start spraying it all nice like 😀 can anyone say stealth!
Its gonna go black.... the whole engine, block head intake everything. even the boost pipes! with a ice white engine bay 😀 can't wait!
Wow Riekert! Doing good! cant wait to see how it looks like! I am not far behind you! watch out! 😛
