Why no flood coolant system while machining the block? Was the block junk to start with? Why trash a perfectly good block? I can’t believe you could get the proper tolerances specified by Darton for sleeve installation.
Very surprised about your machining procedure. No stress/bore plate, no timing cover when surfacing engine......do you guys know something about machining? :/
So at 3:40 i see where the block is ready for the sleeve's... But why skip that part... ?? How are the sleeve's dropped in and what prevents them from moving or turning during the hone process..??
The sleeves have flats on the Flanges....I imagine they warm the Block up to make the bores expand or use liquid nitrogen to shrink fit the sleeves. You need time to line up the flats on two sleeves at once to get a pair to fit together. They didn't show this part because they think they are Masters and nobody else knows how its done, Bless em.
@@msengineeringdavid3702 Except I sleeve S62's. Timing cover is required as the head gasket lays across the cover, difference in height would be a definite leak. The deck and heads needs a modification to prevent leakage under the gasket to the sleeve flanges. Torque plate distorts the sleeves about .0015" when installed. I use liquid nitrogen to install.
@@aussi3212 there is no surface "coating" with Alusil. The entire block is Alusil alloy. The bore is etched at factory to remove a layer of aluminium leaving the silicon as a slick surface layer for the rings to operate on. Prior to the S62 motor, BMW had stopped using the Nikasil process (in about 1995) due to the debacle resulting from the high sulphur content in fuel in some markets (US, UK, etc.).
@@aussi3212 No, the silicon is throughout the block. I sleeve these blocks also and can simply bore oversize to re-use the original block material instead of sleeving. The silicon exposure is a last step in the honing process. I will say that alusil material is rough on inserts.
they dont know that , they are juts idiots with cnc machines, thye dont know shit about engines, if they thik they need to bore nicasil they will do it. THAST WHY THERE ARE SO COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS VEICOMER COMPANY.
