Some Tax Return Goodness

[HostileJava]

This isnt' quite everything that I've ordered and I have some other parts from before that are going in yet. But I thought I'd take some pictures of what's going into the SE-i this spring. Crank, speed sensor, more LED bulbs, replacement foglight covers, Purge Kit, dual purge hose kit, and Adjustable Cam Gear. I am also working on getting a tri flow cam and the bearings and seals for the crank are laying in my garage.

did you ever get that other crank out?

[HostileJava]

The oil pan is dropped, but I don't actually want to pull the crank out till I'm ready to put the new one back in, the less time between in and out, the less chance of me misplacing bolts and putting things back wrong.

nice james!

[88accordalltheway]

those bumper inserts are sexy :thumbup:

[NXRacer]

glad to see your NX goodies came in finally!

[HostileJava]

Yeah, I just hope theres some instructions in that blister pack, because there is alot more to that dual purge kit then i was expecting.

[NXRacer]

the instructions that came with the purge kit itself should help you if it doesnt come with its own instructions. its pretty straight forward.

[HostileJava]

I'm sure it will all make sense when I sit down and take a look at what I have. I just wasn't expecting there to be that many peices to the dual purgeline add on. I just got it last night when I got home so I didn't really have a chance to look at it.

whats the other small piece on the brown bag

[HostileJava]

whats the other small piece on the brown bag

Speed sensor, I broke the arm that holds the bolt on my other two. Those things seem to break with little or no torque applied to them.

[Mattphi]

wooo hooo i love tax returns!

why a new crank?

[HostileJava]

why a new crank?

Well the short of the story is the bolt holes where the flywheel bolts up are stripped. If I tap them I'll throw the crank balance off.

[Cheeseburger]

nioce so how much did you spend?

[Vanilla Sky]

ahh, gotcha

[HostileJava]

nioce so how much did you spend?

I think there is about $400 in parts there so far. Doesn't look like that much does it?

[Vanilla Sky]

get your transmission in and call it a day, man...

[Bloodlust]

Very cool Jamers, want some help installing it?

You can throw the crank balance off just by tapping the holes? I would not think they would be that sensitive. Still, even if you did tap, where would you then get bigger bolts for the flywheel, eh? Damned shame you stripped 'em.

Actually it's a blessing in disguise, since I get to replace all the bearing and seals and get the new crank rebalanced.

[Vanilla Sky]

have that crank lightened while you're at it, maing

Make the pulley and flywheel are attached when they balance it.

just a note Im sure you already kniow but stand that crank on end. If it lays flat you stand the chance of warpage. The cronk counterweights are offset and heavy so it just may flew on you. Mike

You kinda lost me on that, I didn't understand the last part of your sentence, are you saying the crank is going to warp from sitting? :dunno: It's pretty hard metal, I can't imagine it would warp from anything short of extended overheating during usage.

[Robs89LXi]

No, he's right. Cranks, heads, cams... should all be stood on end if they are going to sit for a long period of time. Even though they are metal, they all have fluid properties and will tend to sag or warp over time (very minutely of course, but we are talking about precision parts here). It is always best to store them on end.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I don't know about the heads but I know the cranks and cams should sit on end. Its weird I know but this is what I found out in school last year.

Oh Oh, the B20 turbo eater is getting ready ....

Haha, be real. I don't expect to be anywhere close to touching Rob's car.

You can touch it, just don't scratch it :kekeke:


Leave the ass whooping to the Pros :ugh:

But then where does that leave you? :dunno:

[Justin86]

looks like some fun. :D

[88Accord-DX]

What all you plan on doing with the motor? Did you stand that crank upright? Anyway, looks good. Going to take on that project anytime soon?

[HostileJava]

As soon as the weather gets warm I'll be taking it on. I have the crank upright as we speak.
