Hmm, Ok in the last post though someone suggested using a plasti guage to do this and then someone else said that was a stupid idea and doesn't work.

What is the best way to ensure the clearance is perfect?

Thanks for your help guys

You really need to use a outside micrometer and bore gauge (correct term???? )

the one in the bore looks like a telescopic gauge?

I prefer to get a dial bore inducator, that can go from you main and big end size all the way to you piston bore. I then use an outside mic on the crank.

Now I put the motor back together all to spec and torque, I ran in the new rings with run in motor oil and all was well the car was driving fine... and FAST!
So when you say clearences what do you mean? suddenly I am feeling a little sheepish.

Wait, you're driving FAST while on a run in, and you don't know what clearences are, but you're trying to build your own motor?

My god man, take it to a workshop before it happens again!

Did you even get the crank machined to suit the bearings???

thats ^^^ the one :( (dial bore indicator) i forgot the term :D

haha don't mind my spelling, i think im the first university educated engineer with the spelling skills at a grade 6 student lol

No no no, I wasnt driving fast during run in, I did the complete run in cycle, 5000 k's of labouring and babying and so on, with correct fluids, then 500 K's on new redline oils, then oil change again to make sure all was well and THEN the problem came up.

the one in the bore is simply an inside micrometer.

But mostly just skids, right?

This is why when I need an engine built, I go to.....drum roll......an engine builder. Just the same as when I need a tooth pulled I go to the dentist.

Sif man....Dentists build sick engines.

Well I could go to an engine builder and throw more money at it, true... Or I could learn the lesson here about what went wrong so I wont do it again, and when the car is back up and going I will have learned something and built something.

I don't see the point in having someone else make it for me, it's half the fun and later on I might like to do a bigger project my self... it's better I learn on this motor than one that will cost a fortune.

all sarcasm aside, I appreciate all the help and suggestions guys.

I have ordered the new rods, bearings and so on, I WILL take it all to a machinest to make sure it will all match perfectly, then I will throw it all together...

more on this to come I suppose.

So you're having fun?

I prefer a bottle of scotch and a hooker but each to their own.

I believe I made the suggestion and listed all the parts (measuring equipment) you will need to get the job done properly. It's back in the other thread....which is now this one.

yeah your mistake was re-assembling it with factory bearings after having previous issues, I would say the crank was still bad when you re-assembled it. As mentioned by someone else already factory bearings will be OK as long as the crank has not sustained any damage, and I would say the clearances are out on whatever number it lost.

Pull it down again and take it to a machine shop/engine builder. Get them to check the crank/block/cradle and fit aftermarket bearings to suit the crank, depending on if they can polish it out or whatever. I myself would probably source another crank but and still take it to a machine shop to be checked.

      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.
