you really need to shell out the $7 for a service manual. It will give you instant answers to all of your questions

i have one downloaded but i cant find it :1 im going to let my computer search for it right now while i run to the store for some beer and pizza to take a break

thats too much ring gap. you will have the compression of a worn motor.

sohcpwr

he will have the compression of a worn motor anyway. Vitara pistons

z1guy

ok, do you understand the differance between compression and compression ratio dropping the compression ratio will hurt power yes, a compression drop due to mechanical malfuntion will drop power output as well, but they are two totally differant things. and if thats all over your head just think of it as me meaning "you will have the compression of a worn vitara build, instead of a fresh one." not trying to pick a fight, just clearing that up.

guaranteed rod knock coming your way

U get that bolt in time?

z1guy

agreed, well, piston slap anyways, rod knock to follow. you really need a micrometer to check them bores, hopefully the machine shop didnt go overboard w/ the hone for some dumb reason, the second ring gap sounds right, just the compression ring gap is out of specs.

i checked the manual i have, there barely in spec so they'll do for now, i'll rebuild it again later with a new/newer block so there closer

i dont really care if this build lasts forever, just as long as it lasts about 4-5 months, then i can rebuild again if needed, but by then i will be tuned for 20 or so psi, if it blows maybe i'll just do a B or H swap and turbo those



Zeniceguycrx i did get it in time, thanks a million, your clutch was sent out yesterday but i need to find the reciept and will pm you a confirmation number tomorrow
