well it might be actually possible, would need subframe off, sump off, crank out, balancer off, timing gear off, timing belt off, oil pump off, gearbox off, clutch off and flywheel off.

but if you did all that you could probably get to all of the bearings.

seriously though, if you need new big end bearings, rebuild the motor. the main bearings are probably in trouble, there is most likely some crap floating around somewhere, might as well do a hone and new rings while you are in there. pull it apart, clean and check it all, put it back together. so much damn work just to get the sump off

You wouldn't have to remove your crank to change B/E brgs. I've changed them on various other motors in the past by removing the B/E caps & spark plugs, pushing each piston up an inch and being real careful not to nick the journals with the thread on the B/E bolts, if you do, crank has to come out (might have to come out anyway for a grind or at least a linish if its got grooves).

You'll have to do a r & r on each cyl that's on the down stroke then turn crank to do others.....pretty messy this way but good oportunity to replace with a decent baffled sump.

As far as mains are concerned, they rarely fail unless there's crap in the galleries but usually evident by pitting or scratches on the B/E shells.

You CANNOT get the sump off with the gear box attached, there are two bolts behind the flywheel. This has been covered before, It is not practical to take the box out, to remove the sump. Just pull the engine, there is no way around it. And yes, I have done it.

Sorry to be a spoil sport

ok thats fine.... just wanted to find out first as i have never worked on a rb26 befor motor has only been rebuilt not long ago.... it got low on oil and now has the knock at around 3 4000 ill get some one to do all the work and check every thing

might be time for the bigger turbos at the same time :domokun:

Fair enough, its good info to know. As I stated above, I have removed sumps on various other motors whilst still in the car but not on an RB, thanks.

yes so have i thats why i asked.....it has cp pistions and a baffled sump ect all ready and light weight rods im not sure what type of bearings were used tho any ideas on how to tell?

Check numbers on the back of the shell, may give a clue, or if your not using them again light scrape on inside will tell you if they're copper leads or alu tins. Always a good idea to use a copper lead or similar in an RB though.

Huh??? Same thing....you gotta remove the B/E cap to remove the B/E brg. What sort of other B/E is there?
Where do you think the big end bearing sits, and what does it protect? The Big End (it's the end of the conrod that connects to the crankshaft).

If you are referring to the big end bearing, then call it that.

Been in the engine reconditioning game for 20 years mate so I appreciate you teaching me something that I learnt when I was still in nappies.

When engine reconditioners say they're changing their B/E's, they're always referring to shells. Otherwise they refer to the rods specifically. They never talk about changing B/E whilst referring to rods.

Sounds like you like to make a play on peoples words and argue pointless issues otherwise you wouldn't have asked such an obvious question.

Sorry, didn't realise you had so much experience in these matters.

Yes, I can be a pedantic old bastard sometimes. It's just that there are quite a few younger members who don't always understand the technicalities.

And the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Yeah no probs bud, I know what you mean & I agree, its like banging your head on the wall sometimes. :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
