r32-25t Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 About the same as mine got, you don't need to do much to a Gtr head to make them perform and the amount of people who go backwards is ridiculous Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/378853-sloanes-engine-build-up/page/4/#findComment-6117638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored33 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I just wanted a basic service then slap it back in. Oh, and machining out certain flow flaws as well.

Sloane Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Sean and I picked up the Head today. Just fitted the Valve Springs in this afternoon. Some other stuff I've got too.

GTRsean Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Valves, tomei type b srings and retainers, shims and buckets are in. Head just needs valve clearances checked once the cams are fitted.

GTRsean Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hey Nick Reusing his HKS cams, 264deg 8.8mm lift. Told him a higher lift would help torque but that would be more $$$ again... They do sound like the tomei 260deg poncams I had in my 32GTR at idle though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/378853-sloanes-engine-build-up/page/4/#findComment-6250243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggaz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Would even help a stock turboed GTR up GTR-S (-10) turbo equipped 32-34GTRS It help's but nothing can save those things Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/378853-sloanes-engine-build-up/page/4/#findComment-6250363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRsean Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just picked up the block and crank from the machinist. Building will start soon!! First pic is the block on the honing machine, the torque plate is still attatched to the top of the block.

ezy_09s Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Nice work guys but I would have done some port work on the head while its all apart ..especially on the exhaust side as its pretty average really.

GTRsean Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The ports got a bit of a clean up, removing steps in the radius etc, and that was about it. I didn't remove the 'humps' in the exhaust ports, just my choice . Just to prove I ain't ripping off web pics, my ugly mug lol. Putting grubscrews into crank, loctited in to be sure. Crank getting fitted and measured up for bearing clearances 0.0015"-0.002" from memory, thrust 0.011". Girdle torqued up, and you can just see the 3 long studs that have been shortened to clear sump and driveshaft tube. 55FT-LB. Pistons and rods getting some attention. Piston rings clocked as per service manual. Fitting the piston and rod into the bore. Rod bolts, I tightened them using a bolt stretch gauge on the 3rd cycle. 0.0055" stretch. Today piston to deck height will be measured and if all good it'll all be put together permanently.
