FORGED RB26│HOW TO USE PLASTIGAGE◄► MUST WATCH│PART 2 

Good stuff man! What was the brand of lubricant you used before putting the girdle back on? The slimey stuff :)

Don't have time to watch this now but thanks for uploading! Will def check it out as I'll be keen to fully forge my RB26 mid to end of next year! :)

Couldn't sleep last night thinking about that red cloth.....😁

Backyard Mechanic Im building this in a Datsun 240z and was wondering if i should get this with a transmission or the 2jz with a transmission if they were the same price??

So factory manual has clearance tolerances as well as a torque sequence. Would it not have been best to try and match or follow the torque sequence? Nissan and Nismo as well as a few others have multiple different steps in their bearings to make up different tolerances(not that yours are bad). Like he said its splitting hairs, but if your a bunch out you could go out and get the nismo bearing to change your tolerance to be within spec.

yeah finally part 2

Don't use basic sockets for setting torque, they twist, and can and do give incorrect torque settings. Also, start your torque settings IN SEQUENCE, and YES THERE IS A CERTAIN TORQUE PATTERN FFS.

Great video, you excited me ya said Friday bra haha! Say you had a bearing clearance way off what would you have to do? different bearing? shims to compensate?

Another great video

Coffee filters work great for "low lint" cleaning on car parts.

Love you stuff guys! just be careful with the background music, once your channel grows people and corporations will flag your videos for copyright infringement

Spotted veem then spotted trevor's car in the other video. definately in Perth :)

No Offence but shouldnt you be measuring the tolerances in Metric not imperial as its a metric vehicle. and NIssan specs should be metric?

Good vid

Thanks for the helpful tips. This video really helped out.

Just a little hint regarding your video titles: I would put the "part 2" at the beginning. Sometimes not all of the title is visible and viewers have no idea whether or not a specific video is part 2 3 4 or 1000 and might not click it.

whats the name of the song at 1:30?

torquing that pattern the way you first did it WILL warp the girdle.

This has infuriated me. I'm a mechanic by trade, and my background is performance and heavy diesel engine rebuilding. If your building a performance motor, I'd throw your old man out of the workshop. Starters: The girdle is required to be torqued up by sequence to make it lay out, this means it's taking the twist out of the girdle, as well is creating a correct seating, which is ESPECIALLY important when under load. NOT torquing to sequence can cause the girdle to be bound or restricted in it's lay, which can cause crank deflection, incorrect float, and unnecessary vibration. Although this seems minimal, it's take minimal to destroy a performance motor. Secondly: whoever the fk inspected your crank, needs to be fired. The pitting on that crank is disgusting. Thirdly: ARSEUMPTION on bearing clearances, at MINIMAL you should be using FACTORY clearances, MINIMAL, not ARSEUMING that 1.5 is ok, if ANYTHING you should have rung performance machine shops that do these engines and spoke with them. Forth: Saying that you can't change the difference in clearance is ABSOLUTE BS! AGAIN, ASK THE QUESTION< DON'T ARSEUME! Mate Seriously, you need to approach what and how your doing this, your transferring alot of incorrect information

sorry ment another part on from this haha like re setting timing etc once it's all together

I feel like a jerk for saying this but that poor engine is doomed. I'm sure there will be a "My Engine Blew Up" video within a year...

cringed a few times during this. 1 girdle should be torqued down as per manufacturer spec from inside out 2 1.5 thou is very tight for what is claimed to be a race motor. despite what your dad said you can alter the clearances by mixing bearing packs.

Watching him torque those down hurt me.

mate you need to learn how to tighten its from the inside out not outside in !!!!!!
