Hello I have started my rebuild of my rb25 it has been hone and bored to 87mm cp piston and manley rods.  I gapped all the rings and installed the pistons I made sure to deburr all the rings too.  I rotated the assembly and looked fine and then today I was putting on the oil pump and noticed that there is some light scratches on the cylinder walls.  I can't feel then at all I'm not sure if there wasn't enough oil in the bores or if I rotated the assembly too much but tomorrow I'm going to remove all the pistons and make sure the rings are all deburred please lmk what you guys think anything helps.

Doesn't sound like good news, if you can feel it with a finger nail it almost certainly needs a hone and possibly even a bore out.

Sucks, but not worth having an issue. I once had to get a block re-bored when I caught a ring installing it and scratched the bore. Might also be your ring end gaps were too tight

I took out the pistons today and found that all of them have some type of vertical scratch on the skirts I'm going to talk to my machinist today and see what there is to do.  Hoping for the best this is my first rebuild.

If your concerned, why not take the block back to the machinist that originally did the bore/hone? They would be able to advise if the hone needs to be redone.  

I talked to my machinist he said to take a emery cloth and wipe out the scratches and it should be fine he said since the scratches don't catch my nail its fine

Good to hear. Did they have a theory why the scratches occurred? Are you certain the ring gaps are OK (check them before reinstalling pistons!)

I wiped the scratches and they went away it was only about 1-3 wipes from very fine emery cloth he said it could have been from not enough oil in the bores or too much rotating of the assembly also he said that the type of ring compressor I'm using can make the rings catch a bit.  Before I put the pistons back together I will check the gaps and double check the rings for deburring.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
