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.
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... 😀
Sounds like detonation marks on the piston. Might have to have your injectors tested to make sure it wasnt running lean.]
Head gasket u can get from DTM nissan in Strand.
@P3g4sus - haha thanx man!
@RB25SX - Thanx will get that done. at least I've got like 4 spare injectors if the one is stuffed 😀
Sweet stuff, DTM Nissan it is then!
Hey Rieks it makes me worry that NISSAN did that re-build and you picking up things like this 😮 Very worrying 🙄

yah... thats a bit dodgy... and they say its was Nissan Motorsport that rebuild this... eish... using a worn piston, non OEM conrod, and possibly not checking the head either 0_0
Nice! Building our convidence in Nissan every day.

Thanx dude! think its gonna be awesome too!
@P3g4sus - HAHA so true!
how bout this for a theme for my car?
obviously way down the line... but think it would be cool.
Some pics of the beast... looks kinda bad. haha
The parts... :|
So the sleeves look fine imho. but will get it checked... just dirty and dusty
So this is what I call a fuckup on nissans part...
Check this piston! and the weird thing is the sleeve is 100%
Another closer look
New Conrod! aftermarket 🙁 thus previous one said bye bye...
Another shot of the pistons
All the parts of my SR... sigh... its a sad sight...
Should have the timing chain this week. will send in the head (donno where yet) and then ja, start to reassemble
Holy #hit Rieks 😮 Do you know how to put that back together 😕
I sense a built party at Rieks place 😂

what don't you like the purple? 😛
😂 😂 😂
was thinking of doing this:
with the black engine and white bay it should look the part... except the hondaness obviously...
I've got this picture in my mind of how the bay should look... but not sure if I can accomplish it.... Gonna try though.
Good going Riekert its not so bad, quite easy just time consuming cause everything got to be checked twice, you dont want to take it apart again 😀
Thanx man! no not do bad... just want to get everything 100% the first time... and i will check and recheck everything! haha.
wanted it to be a cheap rebuild... but already its close to R6k! haha (yeah yeah... that might be cheap to some...)

Not a bad idea.
It'll break the black of the rest of the engine me thinks
