Kashif Noorani what where the ring gap? What pistons where they? I have the identical build, just with golden eagle sleeves.

Cosmic Waffles jaffromobile

Not with the speedfactory no notch rods

Does the same process apply to a d16y5 vtec-e? Im new to Honda's so forgive me, I'm not very knowledgeable about them

jacob gainey I’m honestly not sure man, being a D series, it’s a good possibility.

@@jacobgainey6222 yes all d series blocks would have to be notched with most rods. Except speed factory. I have d16y5 in my hx as well But id advice going with a d16z6 if your going to build a block for boost

Hey I was wondering how much power did u get from the speed factory parts I have the rods and street Savage cam just trying to get a hall park figure

Ball park sry

@@robertcomtois2168 Texas Honda channel has a dyno of that cam on his JRSC d16

but your windex 😂😭

Clearly Geckos seeing and doing are 2 completely different things,

@@urmomizhere ahaha that's very true I had watched people.build engine then when I got to starting college at level 1 mechanics me and a friend tried building an engine in the workshop up and failed. It didn't run , but me and him are doing level 3 and we've built up a few engines to running order and repaired bodge jobs and poorly built engines from other level 1 younger than us, so with experience you get better and learn

same here bro self taught everything I know by watching videos since I was in 8th grade now I know a plethora of knowledge about jdm vehicles its indescribable most of my buddies call me the jdm encyclopedia hahaha.

ive been in a shop environment since I was a freshman in highschool to this day im the highest scored test in that shop and graduated with 4 out of 9 ASE certifications my first car was a 93 eg hatch SI and I owned a 1990 S13 240sx with a S14 Ka24de swap after the civic and now im going back to the honda game lol I love cars so much its literally ridiculous.

RedLineBandits B20 has weak sleves, so watch out, i would ask someone with some B series experienced people what to do

Jah Roos thanks brotha more videos are coming im waiting on the weather to get better

Roman Rains Well if you need any help let me know

Roman Rains Awesome!!!! Keep me posted.

Warren Foor np brotha hoping to get part 4 out tonight

jimmy21480 thank you very much

Honda How To whens part 2 coming out

brandon neil hopefully this weekend I'm just waiting on parts one of the main rings got messed up in packaging and I'm getting a new one from JE

Im shooting a video how to build a b series this weekend!

Honda How To hey, quick question, I’m building a speed factory vitara D16Y8. What would you recommend the girdle bolts to be torqued to?

@@georgepoulos2096 it's 2 steps, 18 ft lbs first, then 38 ft lbs second, and you have to torque them in a sequence

@@georgepoulos2096 and make sure you soak the bolt in oil

Honda How To I went to 40 ft lbs on mine. Do you think an extra 2 lbs would cause any issues? Another question, after a few heat cycles, maybe 100 miles should I drain the oil and pull the pan and check torque? Am I just being overly obsessive?

I got one coming up really soon buddy

That's because it is, and that's why I made the videos. I wanted to take away the fear of building an engine so anyone could do it! If you learn how to use a couple measuring tools, that's the only scary part, after that, it's all easy stuff.

I went b series as well, I built this for a buddy and he loves it

Justin Abide you bet I have a lot of friends that swear by css

Had to notch the block for the rods. You also have to notch the crank girdle as well.

What spun bearings he use

Roman Starkovich np bro if you need more help ill be here

Roman Starkovich you bet you can as long as a bearing didn't spin the crank should be good. Pistons just need some new rings and bearings and I think you will be set bud

I would always measure no matter what. If it's within OE specs you're ready to rock. It's not too hard to do with a little bit of plastigauge

Thank you!

rb26dett32 np man. On this I used the stock crank and standard size bearings. Measured all of the clearances with plasti gauge and made sure all the measurements were within spec

Yes I did, and you have to notch the girdle as well. You can use a carbide Burr that's going to be the fastest

Honda How To Thank you 🙏🏻

@@ovidioperez28 yes sir, anytime

Standard bore size with JE pistons

I had a machine shop measure all of the clearances on this engine, but I've used plasti gauge before. It works well, nothing wrong with it, the b16 I built I used plasti gauge, still drive it every single day!

@@hondahowto sweet man that you for the reply 🙏🏽🙏🏽

dragonlee1000 thanks buddy i actually quit doing youtube now i do twitch

Cool guy you bet

andrew arri these pistons were 9:1 compression. It was a pretty good combo, not to low to rely on boost, and not too high

No, but it's pretty old, it's made by K-Tool

Roman Rains best way to make a differance fast.. cheap things. -Gut the car 🚗 -Resurface head/Arp studs/Oem Honda head gasket. 100 shot nitrous on E85 cometic

Not if it's only a few ft lbs more. You always want to factor in lost torque through your extension or your socket. I've done it several time and never had problems,

I'd be concerned about decreasing the clearance between journal and bearing and cause a lack of lubrication. Why didnt you plastiguage the crank?

@@FMJAmerican all the clearances were checked prior to shooting this video.

luistech1000 main cap was 48 ft lbs and the connecting rod caps were 40 ft lbs

Part 2 I do

OvRdoSe69 I did

Ya most people asked and I'm not exactly sure how much was taken off the machine shop never told me. But you're probably right 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch somewhere in there.

Dude , insanely speedy response! Appreciate it was just curious mainly .thanks man!

I measured all of the clearances before i shot the video

@@hondahowto thank you for the reply

Connecting rod caps are 23ft lbs and crank caps are 47ft lbs

1siccej yep the longer ones go in the center of the girdle.😉 make sure you soak the bolts in oil before you install them too.

OAK VUE not on the rod caps either just for the initial start up, so they seat properly

cookie monster I measured all the clearances before I shot the video

How did you measure them?

cookie monster plasti gauge

What tolerances are you working to? Thanks

cookie monster all of the clearences were within standard spec so we didn't have to use oversized bearings or anything I cant remember what the exact measurements were but I have them wrote down somewhere in my garage.

I checked all the clearances prior to the video, and the ring compressor I have really sucks, it hangs on to the Piston really tight so you really have to force it. Don't worry about it, I get these questions alot lol

It was my first video ever, i was pretty nervous, but in my more recent videos i explain all of that

I live up North, it's just a block heater. I eventually took it off and put the stock plug back there. And thank you for your kind words!

@@hondahowto Thanks a lot, I will sleep a little bit smarter 😉 PS : surprised you need this in Texas, here in Europe those kind of pre-heater are for German market and further up.

@@zeedim9882 I live in North Dakota, so the average temps here in the winter range from -25° to -40°F which is -31.6 C to -40 C and wind chills can get to -80° F so it's pretty cold up here in the winter

@@hondahowto Sorry for the confusion, I understand better,now.

@@zeedim9882 it's all good, people have asked me about that sensor a bunch of times

Hakachan The Last on the girdle?

It's a company called Cylinder Support Systems they do really good work

CSS, still running to this day! 💪

A company called CSS, Cylinder Support Systems did it, super cheap and super strong. Great alternative to sleeves.

MISTA 808 its just an engine stand you can buy them in different sizes this one is one of the smaller ones.

Thanks for the quick reply. I can't wait to get the motor out and get some work in on it. I need to get a compression test done and any other tests/checks I need to verify the overall health of the motor etc. Any recommendations? I got it from a friend after he unfortunately took his own life, so I don't know what all it may need etc. Seems to be running pretty good though. So far I've replaced the dizzy, the spark plugs, the wires, the oil pan, flushed the radiator etc. Nothing too major just yet.

MISTA 808 np man if you have any questions just HMU

Had to notch the sleeve and girdle for the h-beam rods, sent the block to CSS, they did their thing, and when I got it back I had it honed. So it's still standard bore. Never over bored it.

@@hondahowto don't wanna sound like a noob but can I just get high compression pistons (75mm) with my d16z6 stock bore (75mm) to save on getting block bored

@@Heart_And_Sol that's exactly how you bump up compression. I have built a high compression engine for nitrous way back in the day, kept it store bore, and put dome pistons in it.

Roman Starkovich I think it would be fine

Vidal J you have to notch the block and the girdle for them to clear. Its more intimidating than it is. It's very easy.

@@hondahowto ive also seen in another video that u can buy the more expensive rods from boostline that are called no-notch rods to avoid doing this without losing boost capability

@@sethhinton5014 I have never heard of them. That's pretty badass

If it's knocking I would assume its something to do with the crankshaft unfortunately

Those are crankshaft thrust washers

@@hondahowto are we supposed to have only 2 of those? Just curious. Andddd OMG! Thank you for replying. It's 2024 :)

Ohhh wait. Found it! Thank you for clarifying the piece!!

They were brand new oem bolts, I looked for arp as well at the time, and could never find any. I'm not sure if they make them even now, I got the new ones from Honda. The oe ones have been holding for years and haven't heard from them so I just left them alone.

@Honda How To thank you so much for the quick reply, we've been stuck on this. So now this gives us some clearance to keep moving forward with the project

@@0rvelazqu glad to hear! If you have more questions, just hmu, I get notifications on my phone

@@hondahowto thank you brother

Alex Palomares either a Chilton or haynes manual or there is an app on ypur phone its called honda database it tells you most of the torque specs on there as well

S7ARFOXX JE pistons

We measured every single clearance before this video was even shot

Honda How To what was the clearence ??

It all depends acl states that the aluglide have different types of metal that helps the bearings last longer. And we haven't had a problem with them yet and the car made 500hp and dailys it at 350whp. I've used ACL race bearings before and haven't had problems with them either

@@hondahowto ok thanks!! Another question... do you remember which was your piston ring gap measurements?

@@bryanfigueroa3 I can't remember exactly what the gaps were, but I used a chart online that tells you how far to gap your rings for your specific bore size. I will try to find you the website and link it to you when I get off work

@@hondahowto thanks man! Appreciate it

Roman Starkovich you sure can as long as they are not damaged in anyway. When rebuilding I would still have the block honed and resurfaced. new rings, bearings ec.

Vitara pistons are for sure the way to go and to keep it cheap

Honda How To true that, thanks! Should I grab the eagle rods or no?

@@mikester1472 i would they are pretty cheap too

Honda How To thanks bro!

I want to Bill a DOHC ZC ENGINE?

Honda How To - any way I could get a build list posted please? This would be a good thing to add to the descriptions as well. These videos are very helpful thanks for all of this. I got the acl race bearings noted, but am not sure about the piston rings. Are the Pistons and piston rings stock? Thanks again.
