Re: vitaras help

they only have .040 over vitaras. So unless you wanna make your sleeves paper thin you pretty much have to go with STD bore

Yup.

So unless your cylinders are mint and don't require a bore, you shouldn't use them.

any turboed car should be warmed up and properly before running hard and should be considered a normal procedure.
this is vital for both the motor and the turbo on their longevity.
therefore this "deisel" sound goes away after normal warmup procedure.

I was under the assumption that vitara's were still cast pistons and the lower c/r and lower ringland height was what help them stay in one piece? ???

Re: vitaras help

They are a cast piston with a heat resistant teflon coating apparently, also, ever hear a Vitara engine? piston slap like no tomorrow, what youre hearing is the free floating pin design, there is always going to be some noise caused by this, use thicker oil and it should muffle it down a bit, but nothing too noticable.

My Grandfather,Father and I have always live by the rule "Break them in how your going to drive them" We have built multiple motors many which have gone in a car and the first time they fired up was at the track. Were had one with 6 miles on it make a 9sec pass with 6 miles on the motor. And never one problem.

Re: vitaras help

if you are talking about the "hard break-in" I have done it. Did it w/ my brother's GSR motor.

Drive it up to red... and let her back down engine braking all the way... repeat a couple times... change oil. That the one you talking about?
