My only suggestion would be to oil the cylinders and rings during assembly or at least before installing the heads. It'll probably be ok, but pistons/cylinder/rings are splash oiled (I didn't see any jets) and it'll take several revolutions before they get oiled, so it's nice to give them a head start. Other than that, what an amazing job from someone that doesn't do this for a living.

Greatly appreciate the effort and time you are putting into this project documentary. Will be doing the 2.5L long stroke dual plug in my 914/6 GT this winter, and your insites and tool selection will certainly help. I too have the wonderful book by Wayne Dempsey, unfortunately, he doesn't include my engine in his list of favorites, so have had to do further research myself on the the specifics of the engine components. Will be detuning the engine from this HSR veteran so it is street tractable and track day capable. Best regards, Barry

My tool maker Dad told me to take the nuts down a bit at a time until they were all at the required torque otherwise you could still distort whatever it was you were tightening.

Glad you remembered the stretch film trick. I was sitting there thinking as you were trying to figure out the little clip tool “I sure hope he covers those bores when he uses that” haha. Also, after your last clean of the cylinder assembly I would recommend a light film of oil in the cylinder bores and on the rings...especially if the engine isn’t going to be ran shortly. Aids in not scouring the bores/rings and also prohibits corrosion if it’s not going to be ran right away. Great work and great editing...thanks for sharing.

kavs911 To be honest I’m just a gear head and high performance engine builder/tinkerer and just stumbled across your channel. Mostly high horsepower turbo/forced induction Honda V6s, Subaru’s and of course V8s (usually GM, but the 5.0 Ford is becoming more and more popular) I also do a lot of work on off-road racing, side by side and turbo 2 stroke snowmobiles. Anyways, I’m always watching engine build videos (especially something different like yours)and no matter how many thousands of times I’ve done it, there is ALWAYS something new to learn and beneficial ideas from other like minded individuals...kind of like the stretch wrap trick. My friends tease me and say I have a “pornographic” memory just because they think it’s humorous that I can pretty much just look at anything mechanical (especially engines) and figure out how it goes back together without much effort. I’m certainly blessed to be able to do that, but really do thoroughly enjoy it...and most importantly for engine building...I have a cleanliness ocd, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. Looking forward to seeing it run. I know I talk a lot, but I really enjoy chatting with other people about engines or anything g mechanical. Maybe they say I have a “pornographic” memory because videos like this are porn to me lol. Great work. Thanks again. Also, just out of curiosity, is there a fuel injection modification for this engine?

Great job. You never be too clean. I prefer to use copper spray on the head gaskets, etc It's not necessary but it can fill in any imperfections and help hold the combustion pressure sealing line. Also, a good modern spray adhesive on the other gaskets, especially the water pump might help reduce any potential leaks and give you a little ease of mind...

I like to coat cylinder head studs with anti-seize. This makes the heads slide on and off easier when checking clearances and for final assembly. , Also if I ever have to remove the heads the anti-seize prevents corrosion sticking things together.

@markjackson700 4 жыл бұрын

I know it was a long time ago, and you have finished the build and run the engine, but just a couple of small things for someone who is going to do the same thing as you. I think it is recommended that the gap in the gudgeon pin circlip is at the bottom of the piston in the 6 o'clock position and not the 3 o'clock position. This prevents the chance of the circlip being compressed with the acceleration of the piston on the down stroke and coming out of the groove. If the gap is at the bottom, it removes the chance of this happening. Also, it would be a good idea to bolt the manifold or a plate to the ports of the heads before they are torqued down, to make sure the are aligned as much as possible.

@bucksnortbumblefuk6872 4 жыл бұрын

@@kavs911 nope, static is. So instead of tdc compared to tdc (static) dynamic is is used with valve events which is what truly gives you your compression in the cylinder. So for my engine I built, it is almost 11 to 1 (static). But my dynamic is 7.45 which falls in the category for having the ability to burn pump gas.

@bucksnortbumblefuk6872 4 жыл бұрын

Static Compression Ratio (SCR) is the ratiomost commonly referred to. ... Dynamic Compression Ratio, on the other hand, uses the position of the piston at intake valve closing rather than BDC of the crank stroke to determine the sweep volume of the cylinder. The difference between the two can be substantial.

Don’t forget to use a good mineral-based oil, during break-in for the first 200 to 300, then a good full-synthetic oil from then on, we have seen a new race engine blow most of it full-synthetic oil due to blow by in the early days of synthetic oil, a lot of head scratching and a strip down found nothing wrong, But luckily a few phone calls to other builds and we found out why. Fully synthetic oil is brilliant, we had an rally engine run 5+ miles with a water pump gone and we fitted a new pump top up oil /water and it went back out to finish the event, ok the engine bay and under side were coated in oil due to the heat, from then on I even used Mobil 1 in our service van.

I do believe you maybe confused about the octane rating of the fuel where you are currently. From the look of the pump you are now in the US and maybe are used to fuel octane numbers from somwhere else in the world There are two different measurements for Octane. One is called the Research Octane Number (RON). It's used in most of the world. The other is called the Motor Octane Number (MON). The tests are different; MON is a more sensitive test than the RON test. So the same fuel will get a different octane number in the two tests. The US and Canada average the result of the the two tests so the octane number shown on the pump in the US is lower for the same gas than it would be elsewhere in the world. Because of the averaging, there's usually about a 4-6 Octane gap between US octane numbers and the rest of the world's numbers. When going from one nation to the other don't worry about the actual number, just use the type (standard, plus, premium) as required in your car's owners manual. Or you can do a quick calculation as below - 91+6= 97 Octane when measured using the RON index only, so the premium fuel in the US 91 would have been fine for a compression ratio of 10.5:1

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of friction cranking the engine? is that normal? seems extremely wasteful if it is.

Rather than use putty why not use Plasti-Gague?

It was recommended by some Porsche engine builders.

Plastigage is used to check the clearance between a plain shell bearing and a shaft - as in main bearings (see part 1) Also he is aiming for a clearance of around 1.5mm from memory and plastigage will not measure clearances that large AFAIK. This "putty" is used to check the clearance between the valve head and piston crown with both valves closed and the piston moving up to TDC. He then measures that clearance by measuring the thickness of that putty and adjusts the clearance by fitting different thickness cylinder base gaskets.

91 octane.... really...?? That's not even available over here In the Netherlands, it starts with 95. I used to get 91 in Germany for my motorbike but that's gone now.

Americans use a different octane measurement standard from Europeans. In Europe we use Research Octane Number (RON) while Americans use an average between RON and Motor Octane Number (MON), known as the Anti Knock Index (AKI). As a result their octane ratings are 4 - 6 less than Europeans for the same fuel, so 91 AKI fuel in the US is equivalent to 95-97 RON in Europe. Kavs - KZfaq recommended your channel to me. I’ve been watching channels like Harry’s Garage, Bad Obsession Motorsport, Urchfab, Skid Factory, High Performance Academy and their algorithm seems to be liking you this week.

it was great up to this point cant watch anymore, you just totally fudged the clearance volume, and no attempt made to balance all the compressions, it will be fine but don't tell other people to do it this way.
