my garage...56K **pulled a piston**
 
my spare bedroom doubles as a garage
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg
the work bench
*its a old military feid desk modified to sit on the top of my dog's kennel
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg
can have a "shop" with out a shop light
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg
the tool box (i've had it for about 6 years now) gotta love craftsman...

the D16 im workin on

my shop bitch
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg
and the beer fridge....
you can donate stickers if you want *hint*
any sticker will be put on the beer fridge

edit, i forgot to add, the view from the outside:
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg

on the motor, its hotrex's old motor. it was generesally shipped with 4 quarts of oil left in it. ::) "it was my present" the motor got here "all shrink wrapped" and "nylon strapped to a custom made pallet" but i think the person who shrink wrapped it forgot to shrink it or something...because it wasnt shrink wrapped, it was covered with a peice of plastic -and the motor wasnt even strapped down tightly. infact when the fucker (the guy at the receiving dock) went to put the engine in my wifes vehicle on the pallett, the engine almost fell off the pallet. I got the motor though, no sensors broke, everything in good tack. so hotrex lived up to his word. he cant pack for ----, and he shipps late. exactly what I expected. ;)

ohh yeah, im still waiting on a few other things from him...he mailed it *i think* on nov 13th. still waiting.... ::)

another edit
on a positive note, before I sent him my money order, he would always anwser his phone, or call me back right away after i left a messege. once he got my money it was no anwsering phone calls, or returning pm's with responses such as "no" or "maybe" or "I dont know" or "whenever i get to it" (typical e-thug ---- ::)) on the phone, hes a cool guy (before I sent money, of coarse hes gonna be a cool guy to talk to, he wants my $$$)

i know the mail system is a little slow at the moment,with the holidays and stuff... but dam, its been a while....2 weeks now. I think USPS considers 17 days "offically lost"

it took my digi camera 12 days to get from NC to NY, but that was because we had it addrerssed to the wrong dept of the company, so no one would accecpt it.....



but none the less, there is my garage 8)

that's what it looks like. i'd find a way to make a big garage door where that window is so you can fit your car in there to work on it. it's cool to have your own wrenching room though.

according to hotrex, the comperssion test was 180-180-180-179 :-\ hummm...and yes, that piston "wiggles" a little. is that a good thing?

what do you think :-\

SkunT 11-28-2004 08:21 PM

Re:my garage...56K?-theres a few pictures...
 
I think i dont know what im thinking. :P
really, i dont.

"before I pulled it, it had good compression"-hotrex

its not like it just sits in there and you can just move it like its nothing... but the others have 0 play, and that #1 piston has just a little. :-\

I'd pull out those pistons and check the ringlands :-\ How much did you pay for that precision motor? :P

punch yourself in the nuts. :-\ And there's no way that you can ball hone that much out of a cylinder wall. My Integra had a gouge in the wall and we honed the ---- out of it like there was no tomorrow and the slop was NOTHING like that. I'd take the pistons out and look at them, chances are something else isn't right. The piston slap on that thing but sound like a massive ------- rod knock. :-\ But man you got fucked on that deal.

SkunT 11-28-2004 08:55 PM

no scaring what so ever on the cyl walls..."good compression test", i cant see how they could be that fucked up. :-\

the 3-file hone will take that much out, ive seen/helped do it :-X

Re:my garage...56K?-theres a few pictures...
 
Sorry for a newB building question but how does something like that happen? Wrong ring gaps? Too much of a hone? I'm just not sure how there is tham much of a gap between the piston and the cylinder wal and it's still holding compression ??? Just kind of confusing whow it got that way.

I have seen 600+ hp 350's with with a little play in them. (just as much as this)

I think im gonna go with it. :-\

Looks like we have some new "PWn3D" pictures to make.

Where is that "Shipping 102" write-up?

Did you do the compression test yourself, see the test or are you just relying on what the person who sold it to you said? You can ---- up some pistons pretty bad and not touch the cylinder walls. I've fucked up alot of motors in my time so I've seen it happen.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the technical term for that a HotPhiz'd engine :-\

i think it is good to have the ring that 'accessable' in case you want to change it without pulling out the piston :-X
