Won't see the block for a couple of weeks, but thanks for the offer!!

Got the HKS front pipes today as well as,

CP pistons kit

valve guides

Ross toughbond balancer

The block, crank, studs, balancer, clutch and flywheel are now at the engine reconditioners to get cleaned, balanced etc.

Now is it worth it getting the block grout filled to the bottom of the lower water jacket welsh plugs....

Block is getting the full treatment then grubscrewed. Got to remember to tell the engine guy to drill out the oil returns in the block too.

Original engine was pretty clean. Crank, was pretty good, but we shall see.

Windsor engine reconditioners are doing the machining.

The modified oldschool g clamp my dad gave me years ago to do pushrod engines won't cut it on these heads :pirate: , because they are so deep.

And I couldn't be bothered buying one, making/modifying stuff is cool.

keen to hear how much this will be, let me know what Steve does and how much as i've got to get my head sorted out aswell

Went the engine shop this arvo and did some stuff.

Started with weighing the pistons, and difference between lightest and heaviest was 1.1 grams. Weight matched CP pistons to less than 0.1 gram to each other after using linisher and digital scales.

Weighed gudgeon pins and they were all the same.

Then was told that the engine oil could make up 5 grams difference in weight in an engine. Oh well at least they are all the same.

Drilled out the head oil returns to the size of the head gasket.

Crank will get grubscrewed as they use aluminum plugs on the ends of the big end oil drill holes.

Also got to setup a 304 V8 crank with bob weights on a crankshaft balancing machine, what a pain!! At least inline 4's, 6's, 8's don't need bob weights, you just need the pistons, rods etc to be spot on and all the same.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
