Doctoraudio Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Use bubblegum.Hahahaah! To prevent that kind of problem, use plastiguage and always measure the bearing crush. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Damn. If the bearing clearance wasn't wrong, I'm assuming that you just lost oil pressure to that rod. Did you hot tank everything before you built it? I only ask because there may have been something lodged in an oil gallery that caused starvation in that cylinder.. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 The rods were hot tanked. The block not so much... Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Crank? 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Crank was polished, and I am pretty sure it is shop policy to hot tank everything that comes in (Steves Precision Machine), but Derek would have a better answer about that... 1 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I asked and he says the crank and rods were hot tanked. The block not. Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 L16 back in? 1 Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Alright so "H5WAGON" and I got the L16 back in and running today...A long 11 hours :hairy:Ended up doing a little bit more to the L16 than we originally panned. After cleaning it up we decided to paint it, as well as some other parts. Got the timing cover, font crank pulley, and rear main seals on.Got dark fast. Got the motor to barley start, ended up being one tooth off :huh: Fixed that and it fired right up :cool:Wow I miss my car, Drives,handles,brakes, and feels so much better than the truck :lol: It felt so low after being in a stock height 620 for 2 weeks :rofl: 5 Quote Link to comment
