sunboost

ok, so im gonna try and assemble the tegs engine.

i managed to take everything out and take it apart and found nothing wrong with it :1. so eh, id figure id put it back together and hope it all works out, lol.

so far im looking into replacing oil pump, water pump, and the bearings... what else should i replace?

anyone in la wanna help out a fellow hmt-er?

nascarfan

ebay piston kit/rings/bearings for around 120-better than using used and abused pistons in my book/ i opted for the b16 ebay kit for my ls however

sunboost

only ones iver ever seen on egay are the 11.XX compression ----.

What was wrong that you felt you needed to pull the motor to begin with Rough running? What did the bearings look like?

If you can foot the extra cash might as well get some forged slugs and rods and be done with it.

nascarfan

you can just get the stock ls kit but the b16 ones bump it to around 10.8, just avoid the mad tyte civic type r ---- if your boosting it

sunboost

engine was making some funky noises.

bearings looked like so

this is just to get the teg back on the road. i have a spare block with a busted sleeve that will possibly be the fun one.

i have never come across stock compression ---- on ebay

nascarfan

he has kit for just about every engine...you have to search for the exact engine code to find his ---- though

not bad, how about some rods? lol

seriously though.

Flat-spotted bearings = continuous detonation on that cylinder. I would def. recommend at least having the crank inspected, and possibly polished if the machinist sees fit. If you have hairline cracks in the crank you are wasting your time/money rebuilding it, it will prematurely fail.

Get your ---- tuned too. Were you running a base map?

sunboost

that engine never saw boost.

thats what pissed me off, damn thing just went. guess ill look for a shop to check crank. bone said it looked like the bearing had been "hammered"

i have no idea what happened, i just wanna fix it.
