it’s all good to do that actually that saves time if rushing… but an extra turn don’t hurt Plus I just got used to starting in sequence of the pistons But I hear ya… in pairs is also doable like 1 and 4 cuz it’s at bottom end etc etc plus I’d prefer to show how I got used to it in sequence cuz we know some will start and if some start with a “shortcut” we both know that’s more prone to overlooking other things cuz they learned or started with a short cut…
i wanted to ask something about philippine spec civics as i’m from abroad, do they ph16 engines come with cross drilled oil holes on the crank like the d16a6/ZC?
The non vtec ph16 (92-95) has the same cross drilled cranks like the a6 and zc It’s why it’s a fav base engine of mine like mine is a ph16 / d16a6 now hehe
@@SRDmotorsports i was running a setup abroad with d16y8 and the rod bearings spun. my mechanic told me that the cranks on the y models are garbage either run ZC or Z6 crank. i was also running high comp pistons
the d16y8 pump is not as strong as the a6/z6 but crank wise… a lot of modern engines are like the y8 no probs I think Real Street talked about this not sure… But I also have a video about what could avoid the chances of spinning rod bearings
Excellent question! And just as I shared this time on the video we torque it 26-28ft / lbs on a stretch guage it should reach this when well lubed And then once u try it and it exceeds that stretch it means the rods lost it’s elastic properties = end of its life BUT example is Jaspers it’s still fine but that’s cuz we only checked once since 2017 lol
Oh it was asked to earlier Yeah 1 and 4 will be bdc so can install But I just prefer to do it in sequence Plus I always felt that’s a short cut cuz easier So I try to avoid sharing shortcuts as it might promote others to do it the shortcut way and we know that don’t always lead to better perception of the build But nice question
Your'e not showing a short cut if you install #1 and #4 piston, your'e just being wiser. Honda service manual stated actually it gives you two options. A) if crankshaft is already installed, set crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder and install the piston/rod w/ protective rubber hose on the threaded end of con rods. B) If crankshaft is not installed. Position all piston/ rods at TDC. Like you've said it's your preference to install it one at a time and l don't see a problem w/ that. Its whatever works but your'e not showing a shortcut if you install 1 and 4 piston it's wiser doing it though. Good video preko. Salamat, l wish you can do a segment of cam degreeing in much simpler way, like after finding the true crank TDC and show how to find the center lobes of cams in noobies like me. God bless
Yes on the hose on the rods just harder for me to find that hose size plus my fault I threw away the protective plastic for the rod bolts on a carillo rods we used way back lol!!! On the lobe center etc after finding TDC Thank you for this idea to explain it better… will work on this next time soon as we have another engine to degree even if it’s just a segment I can mix in a video itself
