Hi.

Have a question about me RB25DET s1 engine that im building.

My tourque wrench is one from work, our test department uses it. Its calibrated 2 times a year, and uses a dial gauge built in it. Goes from 0 - 80Nm.

Just tourqed down the main cradle, but now my crank sort of "binds".

When the crank just has been turned around, it will spin free, and only require ~2 N to be turned. (You cant really measure it as it really doesnt move on the dial.) Easy to turn by hand.

When the crank hasnt been turned for a minutte or so it "binds". Will need around ~5 N to get it to spin free again. (On the dial gauge you can only see it move, and then drops back to nothing as the crank begins to turn / frees it self from the "bind")

Is this just oil friction I have to overcome just when turned? or?? Could this be a problem?

Best Regards

Ronni

The applied force just need to be a little higher to get it to turn over when it has been standing still for a little minutte or so.

After it has begun to turn the applied force to turn it is close to nothing. It turn freely the hole way round. There are no spots were it feels more or less freely to turn.

Have measured both crank and cradle, ordered correct bearings, got the ordered bearings. Mounted with clean surfaces (back side of bearing) and used plenty of motor oil to lubricate.

When it is turning it feels free and top nice. My only concern is what it is that is "holding" it when it hasnt rotated for a minutte or so. What i need to overcome for it to turn.. Could it just be oil friction? Because when using the tourque dial gauge the applied force to get it turning (when i have to overcome what is holding it) is only just the needle moving, only just moving, not even up on the dial...

But when it has just been turned, and then turned again there is nothing holding it. The needle doesnt move to turn it.

Tomorrow i will try with a different tourqe dial gauge. goes from 0 - 8N. Should be apple to see more accuratly.

On older engines, it was perfectly fine to use oil, i cannot comment on whether grease would have been better or worse. But I thought your not ment to use grease on ur main cap bearings.

What I can say, (which sounds like your describing), is that when the crank is stopped, its harder to get moving, then once its free its fine. then when u stop, it sort of sticks.

On the last rebuild on my v8. The crank did the same thing. and it was perfectly fine. If your really worried about it, borrow another torque wrench, and retorque it. and see if its the same.

since their is no oil pressure, the bearing oil hole and groove, can only pickup oil from spinning. when you sit still, the oil is pushed back off the bearing into the groove, you have to then spin it to pick up the oil into the hole and groove again.

Thing is, you must still be able to move it buy hand, at the correct torque. if its harder than that. its possibly too tight.

but i would rather a professional post here. as Im a novice. good luck.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
