Hi, my a5 3.0tdi has an issue similar to yours, my aux belt has come off and failed 3 times, there is oil around my engine just like yours, just to confirm, do you think the oil dripping on the belt caused the failure
Some have you adjusting while in Park. I'm still having issues, but see you use Drive. Any comments to this? I will try your version today. I have a neutral safety switch, but would like to rule out everything.
@Strib420 I just followed whatever the manual says and it worked like a charm in my case. I think it's a good idea to adjust it in D because you're in the middle, in the center in other words of a path talking about the distance between D to P compared to D to 1, if that makes sense.
@@fixitorleaveit4393 Seems logical. My P position seemed to have a bit of play. Trying to rule out the adjustment before moving to the neutral safety switch. I'm using OEM parts fyi.
@ericcastro6159 no it's not. If you experience such thing there's a cheap device you can buy and there's no guarantee but it's a good chance it would eliminate it. I bought it for my other car and it worked well
Nice work! I think you could have done it. One thing about abrasive stones is that they load up. Think of a bench grinder. After a while the pores of the stone are loaded with smeared metal. This stops the cutting action. The way to fix is to dress the stone. You use abrasive to actually sand to new material on the stone and it will cut again. Of course as others mentioned, cutting oil, would also help with avoiding loading. I saw one builder (Uncle Tony's Garage) recommend gas. I would guess the thin viscosity would make good sense. Kerosene or Diesel may offer a little more lube (and of course slower cutting). I'll probably try gas when I hone my Mitsubishi/Toro diesel mower's block.
Thanks. I got to a point when I gave up. I needed to get it done ASAP before rebuilding my garage. Just working on my new garage and I put this project to sleep for now.
Hello my name is Brian.. I hope you don't mind me asking but did you ever finish the SHO ? Im currently undecided on buying a used engine with 140,000 miles or buy a new Short Block Direct from Ford or Doing a Rebuild like you have... Also how much did it cost to have your block/ cylinders redone at the machine shop ? Please help me if you can... Thanks for your help and understanding
It's on hold for now. I'm planning on putting the block together this summer. If I'd have the money I'd buy a new block for sure. You never know how the old engine was treated. And when it comes to a cost, I have some records somewhere, only thing I remember that the rebore cost me 360 bucks. Canadian.
It's hard to tell from one sentence. There might be multiple issues, starting with low fuel pressure, power issue, bad battery, starter, bad contact somewhere, spark plugs, stuck piston rings, you name it... But I don't think a heavy sludge would cause long cranking.
I'm pretty sure besides cleaning the cylinder wall it's also meant to keep the honing tool centered in the cylinder. Imagine they're not there and it's rotating just with 2 stones sitting on opposite sides. I believe that wouldn't have worked well.
I’m on the fence about this product. Actually just learned about this type of ring and why it is helpful. I’m looking to rebuild my turbo 6.0 LS, I e got a dead cylinder, cyl 5-50 psi. All the rest 180 psi. Your video is the first video not from the seller so I wanted to know about your motor and how it’s till running?
Thank you for your message! In last 2 years I was more focused on building some structures on my property and there was literally no time to spend on my engine. I ended up installing a crank and pistons with piston rings. I might have some time this winter to keep working on it. Also, but it's just a plan now, once I'm done with my SHO I'm planning on replacing piston rings on my next project car Audi A5 2.0T known for high oil consumption due to a bad design of their piston rings. Personally I strongly believe that you won't make a mistake choosing these rings for your engine. I have no proof to say that but the system they offer looks pretty good to me.
@@thefantasticpendejo6182still in sleep. Some other stuff in life came up which I'll post a video about when the time comes. I might start putting the SHO together before the winter comes.
I have honed so many cylinders with this exact hone. Over the course of time I've discovered I can correct cylinder taper out of round everything with this hone it just takes a lot of time small shims to adjust the angle of and knowing how much pressure to put on the stones. I use the 80 grit with a torque plate and I can get it pretty damn straight! Then I bring it up with a 220 grit stones to the final size then I use a BRS ball hone for final finish.
Great idea with those shims. I was actually able to get rid of taper but one part of stones was getting worn out faster and I had no idea what to do with it besides swapping them out for a new set. Did you use some lubricant or did you hone it dry?
@@fixitorleaveit4393 the stones tend to wear on the bottom faster than the top. I typically have to put a .004 feeler gauge under the bottom side after honing for a while I'll remove the stones and I will rub them together and then rinse them off rub them together rinse them off I just use mineral oil for the lube
Exhaust or intake gas leaks, improper fuel pressure, bad injector (s), or even some electrical problem in wiring between O2 sensor connector under the seat to ECU. The worst would be if your new O2 sensors are bad which is always the last thought but it's an option too...
I'm a chevy guy but I must say I'm really impressed with ford and their ecoboost line. I know the second gen 2.7/3.0 blocks are CGI, I think the whole 2nd gen platform has port and direct injection. Electronic wastegates, upgraded turbos with lighter turbine wheels and steeper vane angles. They really did their homework on this platform, with some really impressive numbers, especially the ford gt. They don't leave much room for improvement.
You need a trueing cylinder to parallel the stones after they're installed in the racks., number them so they always go back in the same rack. You can use an old engine block for trueing by honing first from the top then from the bottom until the cylinder is parallel with no taper. After doing this on a couple of cylinders your stones will be wiped true.
The lisle is ok for occasional use, I used one for years. Once I got a sunnen AN815 I haven’t used my lisle. There’s a lot more choices in abrasives for the AN style hone. But you need to have the need to justify the cost of the more expensive hones.

Sandpaper? Could a person use something like 3M cubitron or ??? and cut strips from it and somehow fix them to the surface of the stones? Then you would have the most choice in grit size, and it would be cheaper than buying lots of stones, and the geometry of the stones could stay true permanently. I am doing a refresh / rebuild on a toyota 2gr-fe 6 cylinder with 200,000 miles. I want to avoid a machine shop, because I live in Nashville TN and I have never found competent machinists here because everyone is obsessed with country music :) . You think I'm just joking, but .... sometimes I get things done in Chattanooga TN because there are more tradesmen there. Maybe Cubitron abrasive is not the best? Also, I am scared I will have grit left inbeaded in the micro scratches of the cylinder, and that will prematurely wear out my new rings. Thoughts anyone?
That's awesome! Isn't it exciting? Are you a pro or a garage master like me? I paused on mine project due to a new garage build. I'll post a short video of the beginning of it shortly. Stay tuned.
