I really doubt that will be the end of your costs.

What do you think I'm going to do wrong?

[75coupe]

There isn't anything hard about bolting a head on.

famous last words....

or is this the famous last statement "What do you think I'm going to do wrong?"

you basically have ignored every answer you've received, is this a build thread or a question thread???

[Rolls]

What do you think I'm going to do wrong?

Well you did ignore every single thing we told you to do until you either broke it, or ran out of other things to try so...

There is more to it then just machining the bores to fit new pistons!

What are your bearing tolerances like or crank end play?

[Rolls]

exactly, anyone worth getting to assemble an RB won't be doing it for free.

Have they ever done one before?

I haven't heard anything about decking and shamfering either

[lilcrash]

Just to clear things up. My machinist is doing as follows. Bore/hone/shave the block, install crank collar, remove aluminum plugs and install grub screws in crank, polish/balance crank, install new crank bearings, put pistons on the rods, install pistons/crank into block.

I will get the block back and install the oil pump and water pump, bolt the head and sump on, install the timing belt, install timing cover/can covers. Bolt engine to gearbox and put the whole thing in the car.

Have I missed anything that the machinist should be doing?

[Rolls]

Does he have a torque plate to suit?

[jet_r31]

Everyone should just leave the poor bloke alone, and see how it pans out...

cheers

darren

[lilcrash]

yeah he has a torque plate, he does lots of rb25s, well enough to keep parts in stock for them.

[Bond]

So is al that included in the prices you posted up earlier?

Hopefully everything goes well and it's running soon.

[lilcrash]

Not all of it, I haven't paid for the bearings, grub screwing, crank bush or balancing yet.

It's going straight from my garage to the dyno to make sure my tune is safe enough for the run in. I can't think of anything that could go wrong but who knows anything is possible.

[lilcrash]

Does this head stud order look correct?

Front 12 8 4 2 6 10 14

11 7 3 1 5 9 13

Lube studs with 30wt oil and torque in 3 stages upto 85ft lb

[The Mafia]

What kind of studs??

[lilcrash]

Arp head bolts.

[The Mafia]

Then yes.

[Bond]

It's a good idea to clean out the Bolt holes with a tap as well. Could be some shit in there

[lilcrash]

Ok kewl. Il wind a tap in to be sure.

He took 6thou of the block and there is little 2mm round black spot in the middle if nowhere. Other then that it looks perfect.

[lilcrash]

Been sitting at work thinking, apart from the flywheel, is there anything different between the c34 geabox and the r34 gtr 6speed?
