Engine Build Picture Thread...:)

[mushroom_toy]

As some of you know Ive been preparing for this a while, dropped my engine off at the machine shop and had new .20 over pistons pressed on, the crank polished, everything pressure tested and surfaced, block checked and bored .20 over, head cleaned, new valve stem seals put in (since I had em out of my kit), new seats. All in all local shop gave me a great deal. Ended up paying $239 out the door. So next up is to start putting it together this weekend hopefully. Will take a lot more pics as I progress. Have a 272 Delta cam to go in it, miata arp headstuds, all new seals and gaskets, etc. Cant wait to get started.

Maybe someday. :)

[charliekuney]

The "X", as well. I'm excited for the build! I'm confused, though: Are you rebuilding the 430k engine, or is this a totally different engine?

Nah Im driving my car on the 430k engine daily, and rebuilding the carbed engine out of my track project to put in the daily. :) Not sure yet what Im gonna do with the 430k engine when Im dont though...I dont want to just junk it since it has so many original miles on it, but at the same time I dont really have a place to keep it.

[MessyHonda]

looks good..did you shave the head?

[2oodoor]

looks good..did you shave the head?

well? that is one thing that really makes some grunt..

looks good!

[mushroom_toy]

Nah stock head height. Basically gonna be a stock rebuild with the bigger cam, and the .20 overbore. Add in a header, and itbs, and it should be pretty fun. ill eventually put in my p75 so I can so a little more tuning, but it should be fine with piggyback and the wideband I have for now.

[87roach]

Glad to see you will be doing a rebuild, it sounds like a fun refresh!

Not sure why you have two threads going on for this..

[carotman]

Crazy writeup!

Should be a fine engine when it's done!

[mushroom_toy]

I hope so lol. I took the last 6 pics minus the last one. Im really proud of my sex headshot...because of James setup now Ive ordered a trigger and am gonna be getting a new flash. XD. Ive got more pics that I took to put up as well. As soon as they upload later tonight Ill have em up. Cheers.

[Tdurr]

after days of waiting for the pics lol. fag.

[mushroom_toy]

^Dont be homo Tim...oh yeah got the pickup and baffle on in the right order...and realized that my set was missing an oil pan gasket....luckily though they gave me one at slacks though so Im gonna be putting it on tonigh.

[Tdurr]

i was talkn bout james. lol u :ninja'ed" me.
but good to hear about the baffle and stuff. get that pan on and the new wp!!!
be sure to use some gasket stuff on the oil pan gasket too.

[e30pwr]

after days of waiting for the pics lol. fag.

only cus the email took a minute lol.

[mushroom_toy]

Lawls.

[ecogabriel]

Looks squeaky clean!!! I'm envious!!!

Just kidding.

Amazing work you two guys were doing. It's a lot more entertaining when you have a pal hanging around and doing things; at least there are another set of eyes watching what is going on.
You are going to use that engine with EFI, right? Because that is what you have in your car.

[mushroom_toy]

^Yeah still fuel injection but with itbs.

[Tdurr]

paint that block son!

[carotman]

Yup, use Por15 Engine Enamel.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Looks really good! great price on the machine shop work too.

Can't wait to see it finished, great picture timeline so far.

[mushroom_toy]

The pictars are coming. the pictars are coming!!! Lol some from the other night and then some from last night and finally some from painting the block today. Gonna probably put the oil pan/oil pump and maybe water pump on tomorrow if I have time before work.

[mushroom_toy]

I hope so. I dont know if I wanna deal with putting rocker assemblies back together or just buy another one form the jy....I took mine completely apart lol, its probably gonna be a pain. Gotta get all the pumps on, oil pan on, timing belt, crank pulley, valve cover, get my intake mani welded, the header powder coated, etc, etc. Lol feels like im never gonna be done. Hopefully Ill have it in next month but idk.

the header is already ceramic coated.

and i told u that is gonna be a pain to put the rocker assembly together haha. i think it would take like 2 hours if you good haha.

but everything else should be simple cpt for setting the timing. btw, take that cam to the machine shop and see wut they say about it.

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah I will, and ceramic coated or not the header is rusty lawls.

[Tdurr]

wtf are u still up!? go to sleep young man! haha

and is it really that rusty? i thought it just had a few drops of surface rust?

[mushroom_toy]

Lol im still up...I cleared my motorcycle tank and have some runs...so I have to resand and repaint tomorrow. :( But yeah theres some pretty narly rust lol. You still got that other hood?

[mushroom_toy]

Lol how much yall gonna pay me to build engines lol.

[mushroom_toy]

Got the oil pump on, water pump is the wrong part so gotta take it back, and fucked up the crank seal so I gotta buy a new one. :/

[e30pwr]

Big fail for the press in an use the hammer on the side trick lol. My damn axle sockets are too shallow. :(

[russiankid]

Are you using a socket for the seal? You can use a ratchet extension. I've always done that and never had any problems.

[mushroom_toy]

Ratchet extension for the crankshaft seal? Explain lol.

[Tdurr]

Ratchet extension for the crankshaft seal? Explain lol.

x2

[labeledsk8r]

build looks good, makes me want to rip my leaky F out of mine and get to building

[Rendon LX-i]

[mushroom_toy]

^ You explain too lol. Im putting in a crankshaft seal for the record...how could i fit a 2x4 around the crank...

[2drSE-i]

This thread is awesome. WTG homo bros!


:devil:

[mushroom_toy]

I loled at that.

[Pico]

Looking Good,
It's always fun putting the engine together

[mushroom_toy]

Indeed. Thanks guys.

[Rendon LX-i]

^ You explain too lol. Im putting in a crankshaft seal for the record...how could i fit a 2x4 around the crank...

ill have to explain later

[Tdurr]

^^^ its now or never mister! haha

[mushroom_toy]

Lucky for him....im not putting the seal in till I get time lol. Trying to get the bike sparkling shiny before the bike show tomorrow lol.

[Oldblueaccord]

Run around Homie's depot and try and find some pipe thats the right size. PVC/ Conduit try all that.



wp

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah ive got some around the house I know...just gotta dig it out. :(

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Can you do a quick rundown of what the long block rebuild is costing? I want to do something similar.

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah when I get done with the build Ill tally it up.

[russiankid]

Ratchet extension for the crankshaft seal? Explain lol.

Sorry for late response. The seal is metal inside, with a rubber coating and of course the rubber lip which actually seals. What you do is tap the extension with a hammer around the circumference of the seal. The extension is placed on the outer portion of the front of the seal (facing out of the engine). You have to start it easily, and then just keep working your way around evenly. Works like a charm.

[Hondamonster]

i love that you're taking high quality shots of your stuff. keep them coming!!!

[Tdurr]

i love that you're taking high quality shots of your stuff. keep them coming!!!

my cell phone can take better pics!
*runs*

[mushroom_toy]

Lawls. Yeah last time I tried tapping around the area of the seal, the last seal inverted to where part of the metal sunk in...twas not cool lol.

[e30pwr]

:rly::bs::nuts:

[russiankid]

Lawls. Yeah last time I tried tapping around the area of the seal, the last seal inverted to where part of the metal sunk in...twas not cool lol.

You have to start the seal by hand and make sure it is square. Then very very very gently start tapping it all around the seal. Once it seats a little bit, it shouldn't pop out unless you hammer hard.

[mushroom_toy]

Got some more stuff done...got the clutch in...I just ordered it Monday...record breaking free shipping ftmfw. Also got the oil pan cleaned/sanded/painted the crank pulley cleaned and painted, and decided to just clean, sand, and clear the cam pulley...hopefully itll stay nice and glossy like glass. :)

CHeers! Until Next Time!

[Tdurr]

noice.

[mushroom_toy]

You know it. That nasty oil pan cleaned up nicely. :)

[e30pwr]

nice shots there, specially the new flash bouncing. tehehehe

[mushroom_toy]

Lawls...yeah I played with the flash waaaay too much. I ran into problems in my room though lol, I cant bounce it off the ceiling with the lights on theyre too bright lol...so I had to try a small piece of white cardboard.

[Hazwan]

Awesome pics, and parts! :thumbup:

[Hondamonster]

gotta love piles of clean stuff!

[mushroom_toy]

:) Indeed. Thanks guys!

hey did u paint the inside of the cam gear where the cam goes???

w00t for progress

[mushroom_toy]

Indeed. Im hoping to have it mostly assembled tomorrow...if I stop being lazy.

[mushroom_toy]

Will have some new pics up tonight. :)

[mushroom_toy]

Alright not too much more done, got the oil pan on and the crank seal in, along with the dipstick tube.

putting my tq wrench to work i see haha. lookin good man

[mushroom_toy]

You know it..i did a 3 step on oil pan bolts 3 ft lbs, then 6, then 9 ft lbs....im praying my pan wont leak. Damn wonky pans.

[Civic Accord Honda]

that engine is sex!

[MessyHonda]

looking good... are you going with stock springs or bisi springs?

[mushroom_toy]

Stock. Maybe Bisi later on..but right now stock carbed springs.

[2drSE-i]

While you have the motor out, what do you plan for crankcase ventilation? I'm thinking a good baffled can attached to a slashcut tube in the exhaust would be AWESOME, perfect for an N/A car.

[Nio]

wow...now thats pretty. :D

[mushroom_toy]

Honestly I havent really thought about it. XD

[Tdurr]

yea lets do something about that vent. catch cans are where its at!(i need to redo mine)

[2drSE-i]

Nah catch cans are a joke. To reduce crankcase pressure and excessive windage, you need to have vacuum on the bottom end. Our stock breather is attached to the intake manifold, which isn't ideal at all.
1. It takes oil vapors and sticks it into our nice, clean intake air and lowers the octane rating of the fuel.
2. Maximum vacuum is at idle on the stock configuration, when the motor is under no load. As RPM, intake velocity and load increase, the vacuum being pulled by the intake manifold decreases. Meaning at WOT, when you need lower pressure and windage in the crankcase, you pull absolutely NO vacuum. This robs more than a negligible amount of power.

Catch cans are open vented, meaning NO vacuum, at any RPM. Yes, you eliminate the oil vapors in your intake air, but this isn't a solution for windage.
There are really only two decent solutions
1. Vacuum pump. Constant source of vacuum, INCREDIBLY expensive. I'm talking 3-400 dollars. YIKES
2. Exhaust scavenging. You install a slash cut tube into the exhaust pipe, which pulls vacuum because of the Bernoulli effect. This isn't as easy as it sounds, as it requires check valves, proper location, and proper install angle. Also, a muffler, resonator, or any exhaust restriction would mess with it a good deal. At least you would have vacuum, and this is REALLY inexpensive. It is also RPM dependent, so your pulling more vacuum at WOT than you do at idle, as opposed to the vacuum pump.
Heres a pic http://www.fordmuscle.com/forum_images/TechExchange/GydyupCrankCase/pic16.jpg

[mushroom_toy]

^Gotcha...well its just depends. i might do that.

[Tdurr]

ehhh... i dont think its that big of a deal(creating vacuum). I believe its just you want to relieve all the pressure it builds up to prevent excessive amounts of blow-by. Thats why alot of people just vent to the air, because it relieves the pressure build up in the crank case and keeps all the sludge out of the oil.

thats freaking bad ass!, my next car i build i know what im doing now :D, i was just going to run a sealed catch can that runs
breather box > catch can > intake manifold so that way its still under vacuum but keeps the crap out of the engine, but that exhaust idea sounds much better :D

[Rendon LX-i]

UM i wouldnt recomend doing it if you where boosted. AS in having vacum as a source to pull Crank pressure.

I would run a hose straight from that stock oil pan fitting an to a vented catch can. that would get rid of all your crank pressure. Thats my plan. YET you have to make sure its baffled if not youll have alot of oil everywhere.

Pulling vacum VIA exhuast is A great way of pulling crank pressure. I seen alot of guys doing it around here N/A wise. BOOSTED we do the vented setup. works better.

Just search around bro. There plenty of ways of doing it. ANd run atlease half inch hose. DONT RUN that clear BS all that does is make your engine bay look nasty when you see all the oil inside the tube.

Like i said, vented does get rid of the pressure, but doesnt reduce windage or help the rings seal. Not much you can do about it boosted though.

[mushroom_toy]

Hmm where should I vent from? Should I vent from the stock catch can on the block, and the valve cover as well, or put a breather on the catch can and just vent the vc?

[stat1K]

holy run on, word that a bit better duder? i don't understand the question.

[mushroom_toy]

Edited for your pleasure. :rofl:

[Tdurr]

run them both to a catch can.

[mushroom_toy]

Ordered a set of Bisi springs...and will be putting on the oil cooler off of my 260z as well...pics to come.

[MessyHonda]

sweet

[Rendon LX-i]

oooooOOOOO...LOL how much shipped.

[mushroom_toy]

$195 shipped. Pretty lame since flat rate shipping cost only $5 from usps. They charge $25 for shipping. -_-

[Mellexx]

Ew I hate shipping. Looking forward to seeing those pics though!

[mushroom_toy]

Got the springs in the other day, also got my manifold mostly done.

Lol ill get some more this weekend. When I do some work.

[89dxthehonda]

two things where did u order the springs from and how much were they. i havent been able to find springs anywhere.

[mushroom_toy]

Bisimoto.

[89dxthehonda]

thanks man i tryed to look there a couple months ago but couldnt find nothing i typed in what your spring bag said and found them. gettin those babys today.

[mushroom_toy]

^Be careful, they charge an arm for shipping. 2lb. box = 25 bucks for shipping, its rediculous.

The stock AS valve on the carb engine pulls vacuum constantly (pulses), and was vacuum activated, but very noisy. I would have hooked my ventilation to the valve if I was still using the stock manifold instead of the 4-1.

Catch cans are NO joke. there many ways of setting it up. if you have to much vacum you you start pulling oil. ON boosted apps. the turbo is like a super vac. It well pull more then a N/a App. one can say this an one can say that. BUt I learned from guys running 500 plus hp. so i copyed them. YOU need a catch can IF you high comp or Boosted PERIOD. if your stock i wouldnt worry bout it.

I never said anything about not running catch cans... I was replying to the post on vacuum, offering a possibly cheap solution to have a constant vacuum source using parts from the carb accord. :ugh:

[Rendon LX-i]

No...man i wasnts pointing at you. just a statement i made thats all.

[2drSE-i]

Technically you COULD use the stock EGR tube connected with a 1 way valve. You would have to limit how much vacuum it would pull, though, as i imagine it would be quite a bit.

[mushroom_toy]

Hmm should i throw some updated pics up....

[e30pwr]

you should drop it in:D

[GLICIOUS21]

Thatz the cleanest i`ve ever seen. Might get 600k out of it lol.

[mushroom_toy]

Well boys got some updates from ya...had some of it done for a while just now got pics posted up though. I still need to put the timing belt on and set the timing and adjust the valves for first start, etc.

First put my bisi springs in. :) Old springs off.

Nah one didnt come available when I put the gear on...I kinda like the stock one.....I cleaned it, sanded it, stressed it(coloring) and cleared it. .:) plus i cant see spending $150+ on something like that. Thanks man hopefully Ill have it done by our next meet...Got the truck going so this car is now the full time project...no more daily status. :)


Also forgot here the resurfaced flywheel.

[Dr_Snooz]

Looking very nice!

[Hondamonster]

looks tasty! i wanna see them throttle bodies.

[mushroom_toy]

^In time young padawan. Hahah jk youll see em soon hopefully. Gonna run stock manifold for a few hundred miles then put the tbs on and tune.

[Ayeobe]

This CrankCase Ventilation shit is makin' me think i should mod it on my car too ... Cause if its realy not ideal, then it must be a bit shit for the MPG and performance, right? Or is the stock motor fine with it? I imagine its not super horrible, but how much would stock benefit from say the exhaust ventilation one?

Nice ride, man! I wish i still had my 87.. Freakin quebec rust.. Lookin forward to seeing it complete! Also, how much help do you figure those badass valve springs will be? and what will they do to fuel economy?

Nice job Bro. very nice. CAm gear is a waste of money. Its just for show. If you obd1 its a waste. Thats why none of the 300hp d series dont use em. Can do all the timing on the tuning. ANywho.

BTW love your sig. Im dying to get a pic like that

$150 and you can take it lols...maybe I can sell it to the Honda dealership in town.

i know its like 7 months later but just wondering if you still have it?? fingers crossed...:ugh2:

i know its like 7 months later but just wondering if you still have it?? fingers crossed...:ugh2:

I forget what it was lol...If it was the motor I ended up deciding to keep it.

[88lxi-shortram]

dam... there goes my budget for boosting lol... i was hoping you still had it because that would have been a killer deal. i could come see your accord meet new people and save 350 bucks... o well back to square one.

dam... there goes my budget for boosting lol... i was hoping you still had it because that would have been a killer deal. i could come see your accord meet new people and save 350 bucks... o well back to square one.

Ive still got it, I just dont really need cash anymore lol, so Im gonna eventually rebuild it.

[88lxi-shortram]

dam... well if you change your mind just pm me or something and ill come get it ASAP. i need a motor and milage doesnt matter to me. i just need a DD until i boost my old motor

[mushroom_toy]

^Im sure you can find a decent parts car with a good motor cheap. I see em all the time on CL for like $2-300 bones.

Mr Luke has been slackin so i had to come up here and get him jumpstarted on this motor again!!

cool stuff

[Tdurr]

we do wut we can lol

[88lxi-shortram]

it is about time!

this dude is slower at engine builds than me...

[Tdurr]

this dude is slower at engine builds than me...

troof

but good and bad news.

First the good: it started and ran. it was purty sounding. no knocks or strange sounds.

Bad:
we somehow forgot to put the crank seal in sooo..... gotta pull the tranny out again...

[88lxi-shortram]

more to come tomorrow as we get some more work done :D

where is it?? :D

[Tdurr]

lol luke has the pics on his camera, and im at my place now. i didnt take any more after those...

[88lxi-shortram]

Lol... I can't wait until I start my build... Hopefully yal will come down and help to

[87roach]

I don't think you want them to help if they forgot to put in the rear main.. nice work.

[Tdurr]

lol we all forgot... he said he had all the seals on the motor that was on the stand... and i was like mkay lets do this

[87roach]

Guess you learned to double check things eh?

[mushroom_toy]

lol we all forgot... he said he had all the seals on the motor that was on the stand... and i was like mkay lets do this

All except for that one....I knew I would have to do it when I pulled the motor off the stand, and I told you this.

I just completely forgot to put it in when we had it on the lift because I was trying to throw the tranny on in anticipation of putting the motor it.

[mushroom_toy]

Guess you learned to double check things eh?

No. They didnt forget anything. I told them I needed to put it on, then it completely just slipped my mind. Just a stupid mistake. I was busy checking and double and triple checking everything else. Ask Tim I was being anal about every little bolt. Just forgot thats all.

[2ndGenGuy]

Don't feel bad, I forgot to put my throwout bearing in after putting my transmission back on after my rebuild... And I'm pretty sure I did that wrong...

[mushroom_toy]

:) Yeah I needed to replace the throwout bearing return spring anyway($6 part from Honda) and ended up using the old one which was shitty....good thing is I have a new one ready to go in so at least Ill have piece of mind about the spring now. :)

[mushroom_toy]

Also....I have 2 more sets of wheels.....

[MessyHonda]

i want to see what numbers it will do on a dyno

[mushroom_toy]

[QUOTE=MessyHonda;1058032]i want to see what numbers it will do on a dyno[/QUOTE

Yeah Itll be on a dyno soon as I get the itbs, header, and all that good stuff on. While Im breaking it in though prob. nothing haha. Might post some pics up that we took later.

So does that mean the accord will be done by import alliance?

Not by the spring meet. ill prob be bringing the bike or the truck.

[88lxi-shortram]

Dam.... I wanted to finally see it... O well. Hopefully I'll be bringing mine down this year. If not I'll be bringing the dc2 of the ef

[Tdurr]

:) Yeah I needed to replace the throwout bearing return spring anyway($6 part from Honda) and ended up using the old one which was shitty....good thing is I have a new one ready to go in so at least Ill have piece of mind about the spring now. :)
lol that spring was weird... but u already picked up the new one im guessing


No. They didnt forget anything. I told them I needed to put it on, then it completely just slipped my mind. Just a stupid mistake. I was busy checking and double and triple checking everything else. Ask Tim I was being anal about every little bolt. Just forgot thats all.
tis true. but we shouldved noticed it but meh, oh well. u live and u learn

Nah thats the efi manifold. :) I had a carbed car and this the carbed block, but nothing else on the car is from a carbed 3gee. :)

Anyway its just on there until I get another header. Just waiting to sell some wheels. Appreciate it though. Youre welcome to come check it out anyway.

Thanks...pics are pretty terrible though...and so is the VC....haha. XD

[2ndGenGuy]

No wai. The valve cover is sweet. :)

[AccordB20A]

the only let down is that cast iron carb manifold. other than that it looks tops! valve covers mint

[mushroom_toy]

OMG. THAT IS NOT A CARBED MANIFOLD!!!!!!

Lol. Its the stock EFI manifold that came on my lxi in 1986. :) The only difference is that I removed the heat shield because i had to cut it up when pulling the manifold to keep from cutting my wideband wires.

Also people read lol, I said it was only temporary.

And trust me guys if you saw the valve cover in real life youd see otherwise...paints burnt up and oily.. :) Its time for a change anyway. :)

[MessyHonda]

sweet pics man...dont let that set back slow you down

[mushroom_toy]

Nah it wont hopefully ill be getting to it this weekend.

[Mellexx]

Boom everyone agrees with me on the pics/vc :lol: can't wait to see more progress on this though!
