A little trick I learned for protecting the rods is to put the old cardboard tubes from the center of toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls over the rod so it doesn't get scratched as you rotate the crank during assembly operations. Obviously remove the cardboard tubes before the pistons get mounted onto the rods.
+docdrs thanks! Because Bank 1 con rods need to be assembled to the pistons first and then to the crank after the piston is set in its cylinder. You’ll see, stay tuned ;)
If you put the bolt in the gauge zero gauge after you torque it and do your angle, you’ll only be measuring the stretch. But that method requires you to use two gauges one for each side.
Why not put dabs of blue paint on the connecting rod side where the blue rod bolts go on? Saves having to always looking for the serial number side on the rods.
Definitely have had better results and less errors over the years using standard torque wrench. Electronic calibrated or not seems to always be off. 🙏🏻
Around the 46:00 minute mark, he mentions the bearing is an open bearing. To me that means no grease seals on either side of the bearing. Please confirm. T-Y.
I would not use gloves..that way I’ll feel any grit on by fingers..I would not use a brush cause a bristle might fall out off..and finally I’ll use compressed air to blow off each new bearing to knock out any grit that might not see..
TBH building these with friends for 20 years. Nobody does this ever. Unless it’s a 2000hp drag car. Not needed. Soon as you do this and remove the bolt the bolt is ruined. Torque to yield and not reusable.
+Bluray we were trying to add more to show it for the video, but the bolts came already installed and had some lube on them already. Thanks for keeping an eye out for us!
you have spent a fortune on that engine if i was going to go to that expence i would bin it and put the audi v8 in it and it would be reliable ive got a 911s shell which im going to start to build in the summer ive a boxster im going to use the interior and loom from and adapt and going to put a twin turbo audi in it
the idea of a bolt is to hold something down securely not to tighten to breaking point (stretch) if you was a cliff climber would you use a rope if it was stretched to preaking point (not me) if you remember the main dealers and manufaturers were griping about losing out on the sale of spare part because of people making patten parts its all down to time, so after sale of a new car x years after the sale the cant sell patten parts so in that period what a way to make money by building them on the point of preaking and sit back and wait for the cash to roll in ... they just sold C0v1d to the planet without the. Koch postulates test so why not car parts mabe you think different to me im old school going through life with open eyes stretch bolts are like shear bolts buit to break
+Jo Ken any time you fasten a bolt it stretches some. Every bolt has a an ideal torque based on the diameter, thread pattern, material, etc. tool loose and it will come loose. Too tight and it can snap. We were tightening to the manufacturer’s specified ideal value. Pretty standard stuff
@@HelpMeDIY to their standards which make them money. Uri Geller used to bend spoons till the point they were about to break then claimed he had magic powers when the broke he would of looked stupid bending it 20 to 30 times on tv before he done the trick theres people on youtube testing bolts to breaking point steel, ss, titanium ect and posting the result and readings ....everything has a breaking point its finding the balance point to give reliability not profit..... how much for a head gasket
@@joken8901 standards that make them money? Well they would definitely lose money if they told you a value that would come loose or to snap I suppose… I’m just confused what you are suggesting… Ignore those values and just guess?
an engine is an engine is an engine lube this lube that if you're got and engine on the bench in front of you like that you have a good general knowledge of how an engine works and you must of worked on others every manufacture has got the best idea and all the others are wrong they are all at it, what next stand on one leg when torqueing it down trust your gut felling and look at it logicly. (who in their right mind puts seal on a bearing IMS thats virtualy immersed in oil and oil pours down on it from the chains remember the boxster was build to save porsche to get them out the shit and make money) porsche built the V2 rocket that they bombing the uk in WW2 have the forgiven us clouse swabb hasent he want to rule the world
