Finally got my block back from the machine shop
Time to clean the hell out of it and start assembly
>>15325067
How difficult is a head swap famalam
>>15325067
i know jack shit about 4cyl's is dat sum hondur?
>>15325071
2000 Honda Civic si B16a2 going in the WAT CRX after I blew my d16a6 (rod bolt snapped)
>>15325070
Never done a head only swap, class rules require the factory "long block"
>black and white photos
What is this 1932?
>>15325085
eh, It looked better in black and white
the block is pretty stained
>>15325078

how the fuck does a rod bolt snap?
>>15325078
Making 7AGE 20V just curious what I'm getting myself into
>fwd
>honda
Will you use loctite this time?
>b16
noice
>>15325078
are those uprated rods?
I am considering setting up a laptop and streaming the build
Or doing a time lapse video
or both
>>15325092
Not really sure
It was an ARP rod bolt too....
maybe the constant over reving lol
>>15325097
It depends on how much work you are having done
Just make sure to replace EVERYTHING on the head
>>15325107
Bolt snapped, It didn't back out
>>15325151
Those are Eagle H Beams with ARP bolts or studs (I forget honestly)
>>15325167
>It didn't back out
Doubt...
What bolts did you use?
>not using rod studs
>>15325182
ARP Bolts/Studs come with those rods
let me go snap a pic
>>15325182
>>15325192
when it snapped the bearing went all to hell as the rod cap bent off the other way
I got a b18b1 1996 acura integra GSR, im looking to take the engine in to get re-machined. how much do the average rates cost to do all of that?
>>15325067
>Time to clean the hell out of it
You didn't have it boiled out desu? For shame.
>>15325097
Well you're committing to a shit engine for one
>>15325303
After being machined there are metal chips EVERYWHERE
and even after being cleaned a block still has gunky shit in the oil passages
>>15325282
let me show you my parts list so far
you won't need a lot of this
>>15325343
I had the 4.0 straight six in my Wrangler bored and surfaced by the local NAPA machine shop a few years ago. When I got it back it was fully prepped and wrapped in plastic, ready for assembly.
>>15325351
did they bore match and line bore it?
or did they just hone the cylinders and clean it? lol
also, if you have an iron block they can acid dip it which cleans shit up nice
>>15325210
Jesus their qc is shit. Hard to tell In that pic but that bolt definitely looks defected.
>>15325377
all things considered I don't blame the bolt, A million factors could have lead to this
Most of which was probably cracking 8500+ RPM in an engine that was factory red lined around 6500
>>15325355
They did the full shebang on it, I had a piston skirt shatter and jack up the cylinder wall so they bored them all .030" over and trued up all mating surfaces. That's true, I did forget that they cleaned it with acid as well. It looked brand spankin' new when I picked it up.
>>15325158
I'd watch the time lapse. Engine build videos are comfy.
>>15325515

>>15325167
Eagles usually come with ARP bolts.
>>15325182
They're made to use the rod bolts, not studs.
>>15325070
>How difficult is a head swap
It's a pain in the ass with an open deck like OP's. They love to blow that gasket.
Block cleaned
Crank cleaned
crank bearings plasti gauged and installed
one piston fit to rod and checked for block clearance (you have to notch the d16a6 block for Hbeam or Ibeam rods but apparently not the b16)
>>15325067
>black and white picture
why
>>15326594
to make you cry
>>15325409
>Most of which
this guy
>>15326855
>inb4 $10,000 on a b16
>>15326910
>$10000 on a fwd honda
>>15326914
>>15326910
if that is all you are concerned about, do not get into road racing.
>>15326967
That's why I got into off reading.
So I can spend $4000 on tires.
>>15327028
free engines too eh?
>>15327109
Yep they usually come with the truck actually. It's sort of a package deal.
>>15325167
>maybe the constant over reving lol
It would have done the big end bearing first, then the constant hammering snaps the bolts.
Either that or you didn't torque it correctly, or didn't clearance the big ends correctly.
>>15326501
What did you clearance the mains to?
How are you not bored of a 100hp car yet?
>>15327190
Ay yo u don't know shit. It at least makes 125
>>15327683
Wow, that's pretty close!
Right now it makes 0
Piston Ring Day is a very dangerous day
>>15325067
>They didn't hot tank his block
>>15330692
Aluminum parts cannot be cleaned in a hot tank as they will dissolve.
seriously
I hope you do hot tank an aluminum block
>>15325067
top kek
almost done with the bottom end
I need to pull the alternator brackets and paint them
>>15325167
>maybe the constant over reving lol
Yeah that would do it
Blew top and bottom end on my old pos.
Then i got a ls1 v8 that revs to 6500 stock LEWL
lets just say it burns alot of oil hahaha
>>15332092
What did you clearance the mains and big ends to? I asked before but you didn't reply.
>>15325067
>putting time and effort into what amounts to only half of a real engine.
noice werk opi, i have a del slow with b16a2 swapped in it. its a pretty good, that no torque is true tho
>>15334605
more torque than the d16a6 though
>>15332153
do you mean what clearance the main bearings have?
https://youtu.be/kRam2hopijg
Did a short test video here...
The full thing is like 14,000 images or something
wait, that's just the first sd card
>>15334965
Yes. What clearances did you set on the mains and the big ends.
>>15325210
Did someone cross thread the piss out of that?
>>15325067
why didnt you hot tank thaat bitch?
>>15335967
Can't see shit of the engine
>>15335967
why does that guy keep masturbating
>>15336668
Because it is ALUMINUM
please read
>>15330816
>>15336664
no, the bolt snapped and pulled out
Nice blogpost faggot
>i'm putting a b16 into a cr-x
neat

>>15336905
I love how you guys bump the thread by complaining so much
>>15337299
I love how you don't answer my question on clearances.
>>15337582
Yes, I plastigauged the mains and the rods
>>15338090
Yes, and what were the clearances then?
>>15338266
within spec? lol
>>15338432
Wow. So you don't even know? Why are you building a "high performance" engine and not even doing it properly.
>>15338460
You seriously
like legitimately expect me to have the bearing clearances memorized?
>>15338465
Yes. They aren't hard. Plus they should all be the same if you are serious about the build. I still know the clearances from the last motor I built.
>>15338497
Mains were all about
1 - 0.038
2 - 0.038
3 - 0.038-0.051
4 - 0.038
5 - 0.038
This is plastigauge we are talking about, so everything is close to one of four measurements on the paper strip
The #3 journal is supposed to be loser and was
Satisfried?
>>15338503
That is way too loose
Enjoy your spun bearings pleb
>>15338503
Duuuuude
Wtf man
>>15325067
why not just use f20c or f22c? forged internals, high compression and built to take a beating I know they spin the wrong way but isn't there a workaround for that?
Plastidip is a horrible product.
Just do it right with the right toolside. Caliper/micrometer/etc.
>>15341366
Plastidip?
>>15341323
>>15341318
do... do you guys not know what metric is?
>>15341366
Who is plastidipping ANYTHING?
>>15341331
Because I wanted a 1.6L engine for the weight advantage in the class I race in
why is it so hard to get a 28MM crush washer that is in 5 places on my engine including the freeze plug?
>>15343007
Use tape
>the this guy's doing all this cool shit and all I did last weekend was replace a bent valve in my pickup and start in on a timing job on the other
>>15343032
I am probably going to anneal the old ones and use red loctite on the caps
>>15338503
1.5 thou, seems about right if accurate. How about the big ends? What are you planning to rev it to, and what oil?
I honestly think your snapped rod bolt was from incorrect big end clearnace, or detonation that destroyed the big end bearing.
>>15343007
You don't need a crush washer, just use a standard copper washer.
>>15343403
these washers have a specific ID and OD
there is no "standard" off the shelf item
they fit inside of a recess
>>15343465
What a pain. Just get them genuine.
>>15343478
well they are on order, I really wanted to get the rear cap on so i could mate the block to the trans already
>>15325343
In Arizona I had my block bored 2mm over and had the head decked for 125$ .
Very happy
>>15343007
give me dimensions and I can make some out of 110 copper tomorrow
>>15343525
34mm OD
28mm ID
1-2mm thick
Most of my cost is not from the machine work
Albeit I did pay quite a bit for it he did polish and balance the crank, drill and tap the oil passages in the crank, line bore the mains, deck the block, bore match the cylinders and hone the block
