[Phlebmaster]

Ok...I gathered everything together that I needed to put things back together on my engine. Thank you Atom for the use of your tools bro!! :cool:

 

Well here are some pics of the engine and everything.

 

Block prep before head:

 

I don't know if you can tell, but I ported and polished the intakes:

 

I got my head on strait: :lol:

 

I lined up my cam sprocket to the # 2 position:

 

Front cover went on without a hitch:

 

I even came away with the obligatory meat puppet: :eek:

 

Yeah...that will leave a scar: I don't remember seeing anything about this part in hainz's video!! :lol:

 

I will have more to tell tomorrow, I still have to put on the hoses, change the oil, and fill it with coolant.

[datsun dreamer]

Engine looks Awesome:cool:! Hope your hand looks and feels better tomorrow!

[fisch]

Oh man that is a beaut Phleb! With the black engine bay it will be like a ring in a jewlerybox when you pop the hood. Digging the blue accents.

[Phlebmaster]

Ok...she bangs...she bangs!! :lol:

 

I got her running today, right off. This is the first time I am posting a video of my project so I hope it works out...you cannot her me but I am saying thank you to everyone who helped me out!! :D

 

I could not have done this project right without your help as it was my first time tearing apart a motor!! :eek:

[AtomChurch]

did you end up using that elctric fuel pump?

[Phlebmaster]

I actually ended up using the mechanical one.....I plan to bring the electric one back to you when I drop off your tools. Thank so very much!! :cool:

 

I am so happy that it runs even better than it ever has for me.

thats clean man im about to do an engine teardown soon looks like fun did you figure out the smoke?

Hainz is right...these motors are a piece of cake to tear down and rebuild. The smoke is from my piston rings I believe. I did not do the lower end yet. I planned on doing that when I replace the clutch since I will pull out the motor and tranny anyways. :eek:

 

I kind of got rushed on this project because my family car bit the dust...(200sx). So I needed to get the 620 up and running asap, so I did not get to the rest of the project yet. More fun on it's way!! :D

 

Bonvo...do the lower end at the same time as the top end, I wish I did.

[Phlebmaster]

Here are some engine pics from the beginning until now, enjoy.....

 

This is where I started:

 

You may remember this one.....:lol:

 

I finally got a Weber...:D

 

The tear down!! :eek:

 

Reassembly....I was scared to death!!

 

Got'er done!!

 

After I finished assembly and reconnected all the parts, she started right up. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this adventure. :cool:

[73dat]

looks awesome,keep it up......:cool:

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Right on! Congrats on the rebuild. Liking the videos too. Your motor colors make it look brand new :D

[Phlebmaster]

Ok..I just got all of the parts I needed to finnish my motor. I am re-ringing the pistons and putting in new rod bearings. I am also going to put on some fender flares thanks to Freaky510!!

 

I will of course take pics of the project for everyone. :D

 

It was nice to meet you Brian!

[Phlebmaster]

I got them on today. :D

 

It looks different. I want to get a front air dam next. Thanks Brian!! :cool:

 

 

 

 

 

I will be doing the motor next weekend...so more good stuff to come.

[bonvo]

what all has happend with this i thought you were selling her

[Phlebmaster]

I was...then I realized that I would never get what I thought she was worth. So I kept her.

[freaky510]

right on iam glad they worked out for u. Iam going to put that cam on this next week keep your eyes open for a s/u intake.cant wait

[Phlebmaster]

I did the lower end today....OMG! I started at 6am and was finished at 3:30pm. I was soooo nervous about doing this and it turned out to be a peice of cake. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out with this. :cool: She does not smoke anymore and I have tons of power!

 

Well here are the promised pics, I did not take too many because I was a little more concerned about doing the job right. :D

 

Here is the first piston I took out, the rings were in very bad shape and so were the bearings. I replaced rings and bearings.

 

 

Here is the crankshaft, it was in good shape.

 

 

Hahaha....the tool of the devil!

 

Here is the first piston I did before honing.

 

And this is after I finished all cylinders.

 

Now one question.....what is the rules for breaking in the new rings and bearings?? You know, the do's and dont's. Thanks again!

[Phlebmaster]

I cannot wait to get this on!! :eek:

 

Here is the monster cam and a U67 head I will be putting on my truck once I get a bigger carb.

 

U67 head intakes

 

U67 comp cam lob

 

Can I run my 32/36 with this setup?? I don't have a larger carb but I would like to put it on my l-16.

[comply]

This thread has inspired me to pull my L16 and rebuild it. Loving your project so far! What special tools did you need for the rebuild? What about parts? What paint did you use on your engine and manifolds? Does it hold up to high temps?

Again project looks great!

[Phlebmaster]

Thanks!!

 

Check out this thread: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=4707&highlight=REPLACING+PISTON

 

That is where I posted the info on tools and parts. All you need is a solid day and the parts. I did not pull the engine, didn't have to. :)

 

The paint is Krylon True Blue and Krylon chrome out door paint. Seems to be holding up to the heat very well. The truck was painted with the True Blue paint as well.

 

Post your project as you build it. I was supprised how easy this was to do. :cool:

Thanks!!

I've got a threat on the510realm with my project. I'm really thinking I need to rebuild my engine though. Could only make things better, right? How many cans of paint did it take to do your exterior? Did you use rattlecans or a professional sprayer?
