at the moment im in the process of fixing all the problems associated with fixing a cracked ringland.

assuming there are light scratches ill need a honing tool to get the bore back in working order.

does anyone know where i could get my hands on one?

yeah your local repco will have one.

You shove it on the end of a drill and shove it down the bore.

But.....don't do it! Have a proper machine shop prepare your block, you need to get it:

Chemical cleaned

Xrayed

Measured for straightness/decked

Honed and measured for piston clearance (need the pistons and rings to)

Ring end gap checked

Crank checked, xrayed and bearing clearances checked.

Its very cheap considering how much work they do just a couple of hundred. Get the rods checked, shot preened and get everything balanced at the same time

im not going all out on the engine mate.

my brother in law is a mechanic and is more than capable of doing the work.

im only going to repair it.

if i hone it im just going to replace the bearings and rings.

everything is staying stock.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
