ADAM'S SR20DET REBUILD PART 2 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW 

As a mechanic myself, I don't get a chance to work on a lot of project cars. Your run of the mill car has boring powerplants. Thanks for filming a teaching video. Keep up the content sir.

Not a Big Boost video without the duplicate clip, two times the outro for two times the fun!

you should blur adams face everytime he shows up in the background LOL

Thanks for this cause I’m getting an sr20 so this means a lot 🤙🏽 shout out from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Very interesting. Did you install top chain guide or is it ok to run without?

this has been probably the best detailed tutorial i’ve ever seen👍🏼

At 5:38 the chain is not on the right position on the Exhaust camshaft, the light grey chain link should have the Mark in the middle, actually at 5:55 you recognize that...change camera view and at 7:20 the mark is back again in the right position. Great video to explain about SR20, but keep in mind to explain those minor mistakes otherwise someonelse can have some problems :) Nevertheless the Nissan engine manual is always a must have.

Some good tips Alberto thanks for explaining them.

Thank you for sharing knowledge!!

More sr20det build videos please 😁😁

Alberto, you just totally skated right by the explanation of those trap doors in the lower sump of the pan. In hard cornering, those little trap doors prevent the oil from going to the sides of the pan and starving the pickup. Without those trap doors and those baffles you’d get a significant drop in oil pressure when cornering. Kind of important in a drift car.

When torquing the exhaust cam should you not have the spanner on the exhaust cam as well instead of intake so it doesn't over stress the timing chain ?

well done BIG BOOST ... quick question on the lack of use of locktite on the tensioner bolt and nut...... I m wondering if you can or should locktite them

Me gustan muchos tus videos bro

I replaced my head gasket thanks to your video. Thank you

Blue can WD40 is not a lubricant, it’s a solvent. They do however make lubricant, its in a yellow can. DONT USE BLUE CAN WD40 AS LUBE it can ruin o rings and shit

About a year ago I built my sr all by myself no videos no nothing just the knowledge I knew and I figured it out on my own. And I must say I’m impressed in my accomplishment I mean wasn’t doing it as effortless as you are ! But I got it done. Thanks for the video you really helped me a lot, I was able to recognize the mistakes I made !

Alberto i have a question how long does the gasket need until it solidifies? i am a 14 year old kid and you're vids have made me to grab a tool and work on our cars thanks

Alberto check video carefully 3:10-4:00 timing chain jumped one tooth on exhaust sprocket.

I noticed you said the stock tensioner is hydraulic. Once the engine is running, does the stock Nissan tensioner create additional tension on the chain beyond what it exerts on the chain guide when installing it? I installed a stock tensioner but have not started the engine, only rotated the crank pulley manually. When I rotate the crank pulley, there is no slack in the chain, but when I am approaching TDC (1/4 turn before TDC and 1/4 turn after TDC and the same for Bottom Dead Center) if I stop cranking, I can pull a considerable amount of slack from between the two cam sprockets. I have 20 pins between the sprocket marks and the 10 / 12 o'clock dowel configuration. Is this slack normal at the points I described, or does the tensioner continue to apply additional tension to the chain once the oil has entered it? I can see it has extended and is pressing against the slack side chain guide. I just do not know why there is slack in the chain at the points I described.

This is one of my favorite videos you have put on you tube. Great work Alberto, being a 240 owner this helps a lot.

Love Big Boost. Another trick I like to use is with the vacuum lines spray a little hair spray on them to help them seal and prevent them from slipping off. After spraying them give them about 12 hrs to set. Works every time. Keep up the great work Alberto! Subscribed for future content

Yeah yaahhhh first video ive watched of alberto and loved it and also you look very bugged like drained and tired idk if it could be anxiety but since you work indoors all day i hope you are taking in the right vitamins and looking after yourself my man those bags under your eyes are awfully big and add a sense of tiredness to your character just wanted ti say alberto i care about health in general and would love to see you brighter and better and looking not tired hehe😊

these are honestly the best videos on youtube!!!!! please make more videos like these but at the same time get some rest bro! i love watching the details behind your work and its amazing and inspires people!

Quick question. When you flip the motor on the engine stand while the head is attached do you need to bleed the lifters afterwards. I’ve heard if they’re flipped upside down they can get air in them

Still no billet block :(

Do you need to be on the compression stroke to set the timing marks and not the exhaust stroke? I haven’t checked the fsm if this is a thing when setting timing marks

Nice job man , love from Croatia :D

#NotificationSquad Keep up the epic work Alberto , really enjoying the Video's :)

My chain links always of off to both side. Don't line up. If i pull it out can i line them up like you said and no issues ?

Why not pull the nipples out, drill and tap for npt plugs? No looping. No hoses no potential leaks.

Do you need to keep the factory oil pressure sensor if your using after market gauges?

F*** yeah THE BOOST IS LOOSE WHAT UP BIG BOOST?

Alberto, que lo que !

great work Alberto i just subbed to you

This was soooo helpful. Thanks mate

Thanks for sharing Godbless

Prob best simple video on yr.

Have you done a piston ring for Sr?

Do you think it’s worth building a Sr20 for pro am? Or should I just 2jz or LS? Thanks in advance big boost

How come you're not wrapping the exhaust manifold if you're having trouble with heat and melting hoses around it?

Great video Alberto...

Sorry to say but it is not a cam position sensor, it is a CAS (crank angle sensor). While the two are directly related, they are not the same thing. One is for determining the position of the cam, the other is for determining the position of the crank. I also note that you didn't re-check the cam chain tension once you rotated the engine. Rotating the intake cam gently clockwise will put the slop back in between the two cams. Without this step there was no point to rotating the engine. Think you will also find the first one is probably classified as crank scraper rather than a windage tray. Since its primary function is to shear the oil off the spinning crank, the second one is definitely a windage tray.

Excellent teaching 🎉

most of your commenters never rebuilt a lawnmower carburetor but become mechanical engineers in the comments.....let the man work..... everything doesn't get loctite.

I have a s15 SR20DET in my s13 240sx I need a detailed vacuum line diagram

Thanks a lot Alberto. Your explanation of finding top dead centre and how to check the timings chains gives great confidence in fixing my sr20det. I have to replace a rocker arm on the in take side for cylinder number 1your video is perfect for my situation Keep up the good work and best of luck Gracias 😀

Awesome vid bro ☺️

Liked and subscribed, been thinking about getting an sr20 for my s13. I learned a lot from this video, thank you!

Awesome video Big Boost! Really informative on DOHCs. I’m used to old school overhead Valve blocks

Using the silicone on the gasket seems like a little custom trick. Everyone has their own way - sorta like applying thermal paste on CPUs.

Good video.. I just cant see how that timing chain tensioner will be better than the original one. like when the engine warms up the tension will be diffferent or when the chain wears slighty in a few years. there are loads of aftermaket parts for these engines but a load of them are crap and ruin engines but not saying that brand is bad.

Adam has a giant subwoofer right in front of his SR. (on the wall behind you) Can you find out what model it is?

this engine looks very easy to work on easier than my 2jzge maybe it's just because the way the video was shot and the way that he made it look but that's just what my perspective is.

i have had so much trouble with people trying to explain the timing and the cam gears etc, you have just simplified this process so much for me im much more confident in doing it myself Thanks Alberto

Hey big boost I am building a sr at the moment I can see you have blocked the crank case breather have you done any other mods for that as it will not work there with my dumb. Thanks love the content

What is up from Minneapolis Minnesota? I learned a lot from this video, bad ass engine, Peace

Very nice Alberto

Alberto, hazte un video si crees que seria necesario, a mi me interesa...de diferentes maneras de medir el clearance de los main bearings y los bearings de las bielas. El dial bore gauge guaya los bearings..No se si es super critico pero no puedo creer que uno haya gastado tanto dinero para tener despues la preocupacion de que si se jode el motor por eso...No es mejor medir sin los bearing puestos y medir los bearing afuera con micrometro de tubo? los mismo con las bielas?

More boost coming soon

BIG BOOST !!!!!!!!!!!💪

Whattt uppppppo

You should defiantly do more of these in-depth videos with tips and tricks really enjoyable

cool! thanks. i got the answer i wanted and more! i will do everything you said here. thanks again.

Awesome video!!! The music and sound effects are perfect! Keep up the great work!!

you video has helped so much. I just got an sr20 and I would love to learn more !

Another GREAT video BigBoost, I love how meticulous you are with your work. Keep the great videos coming please !!

pls go back to your fun music :/ loved the video anyway :)

Music is on point

nice job ;) ;) ;)

Awesome video man, I've never worked on an engine that makes Panda power instead of Bald Eagle power. I learned a lot.

On time for once

Amazing video. I like the exhaust mani RTV trick

BIG BOOST!!!

Have you tried Permatex MotoSeal? thoughts?

Crazy helpful, thanks Adam!

do you need to bleed a oil cooler ? if yes , how ? i dont have one , i just want to know

No Adam can rebuild his own next time! 😂

Thank you for the great video. Very very informative

awesome video for all us sr 20 owners well done big boost

9:15 What happened to the silver links in the chain?

What cams is adam running ,i might go with toda in my na6 Miata

You da man Alberto. Keep up the great work

Deja vu at the end :D :D :D Awesome work!

What type of torque wrench did you use

this makes me want to get an SR20.... lel

sick thanks for these videos love em

Good knowledge thanks big booost

s/o nissan for making this badass engine

Great videos Alberto 👍👍

pause at 9:12. why there's no silver chain links on the timing marks? is it because of the oil on the timing chain?

Sweet video keep up the good work. 👌

👍

Very good clip. Detailed information. Thanks

Alberto you are the man🦄

Awesome insight mate! 👍

20:38, spin it around town!

How do you cut the line?

Now we all can be a mechanic 😅

You are my favorite teacher ever!
