Piston 2 (this was the one that spun the bearings) (also on the top of the piston there is "050U" or similar indicating the piston is 50thou oversize)

There is also an indication of detonation on the cylinder head near cylinder 2 where the lip has been melted or watever (theres a big dent on the lip). Also we can pretty much gather that this engine has recently spun a bearing and has been pulled down, had the pistons and bearings replaced, attempted to be honed (can see slight honing marks in bores) and 50thou pistons put back in with new bearings that may likely have been the wrong size.

Well there you have it folks. One completely stuffed engine which i can almost just throw away.

If anyone is interested in coming and having a look or watever feel free, as its all in bits up the back, just give me a hoy :P

I've got no idea whats happened to it in it's past life. Ben decided not to tell me this information, so he's soon to get an ass roasting over the phone :@.

Going from how deep the gouges are in all the bores now, i'd be pretty certain for it to be re-used it'd have to re-sleaved. You can even see where they have tried to hone it as there are honing marks (cross hatching) on the bores! Also the bearings are pretty much brand new.

It also looks like the crank has been linished before too, so we dont know if it can be linished again.

BTW i got the car off DRAGTS on here, feel free to give him hell :)

so did u have an idea that the motor has been pulled apart before for a dodgy rebuild?? and say hypothetically, u were to use the stock bottom end again, can it be rehoned now its been 50thou over bored??
My Cef had zero mufflers.

So did mine... Its just Im doing a lot of highway kms, and the noise is just too much. I compensate it with the stereo, so then thats too loud and it does a lot of ear drum damage.

That and its just too noisy, Im over it.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
