I just watched this, just from my experience. Put lock tite on the bolts on the crank gear sensor and the 10mm bolts on the oil pick up pipe. I have had the 10mm oil pick up pipe bolt back out at the track after doing a rod bearing service.
Glad I came back to this and read your comment.. I worried about this for the oil pickup pipe.. ended up replacing with longer style bolts and nuts combined with split lock or tension washers, torqued at a much higher setting.. and ofc threadlocker lmao.. figured all of this combined would "bulletproof" from backing out. And (not so) good to hear that this actually has happened, def one of my fears!
How many hour would it take to assemble this engine? Pistons,crankshaft,sump, head, timing chain and vanos. All parts are machined, cleaned and ready to go! Thank you
@@hansondardignac7049 The JE Piston Ratio is 11,5:1 but the Block and head is planned and the Headgasket is from 0.7mm to 1.2mm thats the biggest change. so it should be lower than stock. maybe 11:1.
@@ammaryasser6588 hm, good question. I think you can't get any official stuff. But VAC(vacmotorsports) has 3D scanners and they have built billet blocks, so they should have something that goes in the direction you'r looking for.
