so paul has dissected my motor a while ago now, check the attached photos

worrying stuff!

The original builder did not clean the crank, hence one of the oil galleries got clogged up!

which explains the bearing issue!

Luckily everything else was able to be salvaged!

The water pump also started leaking as wasn't sealed correctly and im not even going to get started on the "extended sump"! in Pauls words "its the worst sump ive ever seen"

Original builder should stay away.. far away from ever attempting to build another 26 :spank:

SHIIIITTTT!

thats just disgusting how a business can take your money and do poor work!

atleast the cars in good hands now!

yeh mate.. Pauls showing it some much needed love :3some:

if all goes well, should have it back end of next week or week after

Just read the whole thread, looks like I missed alot of it...

If I was a betting man, i'd say that *********built your motor? I say that based on my own personal experience with an SR I had built by them many years ago...if im right, it would seem he still has no clue about putting Jap motors together...glad youre getting looked after, from all accounts your motor is in good hands, good luck with it mate.

You're sailing pretty close to the wind here champ.

I suggest you go and familiarize yourself with the forum rules before even 1 more post.

You guess... WRONG :P

ive put a few engines togther over the years but when it comes to high revving long crankshaft engines its best left to the guys who really know them inside out.

Red R build more RB's than anyone in this country and thats all they do. It was a simple choice to make when i decided to throw some big bucks at my current engine.

What a story, just read the whole thing.

Just goes to show that there is no substitute for experience. Good to see how generous people can be in times of need.

Hope you get it all going again soon, it's a very tidy rig.

all the best mnate.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
