In this video, we'll complete the bottom end build. The rod and piston assemblies will be bolted onto the crankshaft, with bearings installed. For more information check out the site: www.projectgarage.net

IIRC, Eagle suggests using their lube on the underside of the bolt head to reduce friction and keep the torque setting consistent.

+Eulogio Adrio Villar I mean, for example here conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=11015 I have to choose between Standard, 0.25 or 0.50. What does this mean? How to choose the correct ones? Regards!!
@linglingjr8 жыл бұрын
+Eulogio Adrio Villar I THINK all bearings other than standard are if you got your crank journals turned. That is, if there was scoring on the surfaces or if you "spun a bearing" you would need to turn the journals (decreasing the diameter) and therefore need thicker bearings. It's like boring a cylinder and getting oversized pistons/rings.
@dewladezignperformance89786 жыл бұрын
If it is a KA motor, you may not be able to grind the crank journals. On my VG30DETT, the crank is nitride coated and therefore the crank cannot be ground, only polished. You need to check and make sure that it does not have the nitride coating.

@Saikou-Style9 жыл бұрын
ahmevo o If I had one, I would have loved to do it that way. However, this is a street build with a 350ish hp goal. Using a torque wrench on these bolts is perfectly fine. Now if I was trying to build a 1000hp KA-t with some crazy doo-dads on it, then yea spending the extra money to buy a stretch gauge is probably worth it. I've never used a stretch gauge on any motor I've built, and I dont know anyone personally that has. Not that its a bad idea or anything, just a bit unnecessary for most builds.

@kylebrett14538 жыл бұрын
+Project Garage should still always check the clearances with at the very least some plasti gauge, at best with a mic and bore gauge I have built over 300 engines and to be honest, mistakes can be made during manufacturing or distributing. think of it this way, ARP produces say 100,000 sets of headstuds per day, delivers to x amount of distributors and all the boxes look the same. people are getting paid 14$ per hour to organize and ship out to stores/customers etc... shit happens and its not always their fault. checking a clearance takes 5 extra min per bearing.
@kylebrett14538 жыл бұрын
+Kei Bee also you should be lubing under the head of the bolts, that area is a major factor in resistance for torquing rod bolts. failing to due so results in a looser bolt inside the rod.
@Saikou-Style8 жыл бұрын
I did at least verify with plastigage. I definitely get what you're saying. I didn't mean to come off as saying to just trust that everything is correct. ALWAYS verify your clearances as many times as you feel is sanely possible haha. These parts go through all kinds of heat cycling, stresses, and forces pretty much constantly. Clearances are important. As far as the bolts, yes there was lube everywhere.
@kylebrett14538 жыл бұрын
Aah ok, should mention it in the video that the bolts were lubed, pretty important if guys will use your video to learn how its done. Hows the build going so far?
