My Build Thread v4.0
 

I finally did some work on the Tib.





I notched the block for the Pauters and cleaned up the garage for the (re) build.







Background: I built a motor with Pauters and checked for clearance while on the stand. Apparently it wasn't enough since I kept spinning bearings and hearing knocking on initial startup after 3krpms. Oil pressure checked ok. All that I could conclude was that it was the Pauters hitting the block.

how long before it's back up and running?

I'm not sure really. I've got all the parts for a huge build, but free time is short for me these days. I believe all I need is to balance a new crank, rewire or get another engine harness, and find a new tuning platform. I didn't do ARP main studs last time so I'll probably add those in too.

Nice. smile.gif

awesome man. hopefully no more issue with the bottom end this time.

I already had the rods checked for roundness and the crank worked and mic'd. But I forgot if they shaved it, or what they shaved it to......maybe 10. But either way, while I'm getting the crank balanced by a different shop, I'm gonna have them check over the work done by the other. Then of course plastigauge when I put it together. Tripple checked....

hell yea man i went through all that on my nissan build.. for the hyundai is cheap and simple.. im buying 2 under 100k motors form the scrapper, one is 1.8 one 2.0 im taking the 1.8 pistons rods putting in the 2.0 with new bearings rings (honning and increasing piston to wall clearence to about .002-.003 and using a xd head gasket .. should have around 8-8.3:1 compression and then its going in with my evo 8 16g .,. im getting my new tranny tomorrow .. lc 5spd 70k miles to rpelace my grinding rumbling ready to blow x3 tranny with 170k (20k beta abuse). im trying to be cheap on the build.. its all about the budget.. lol

In the last 2 days, I bought:

Megan Shortshifter (I sold my adjustable R-Side 2 years ago)
OBX Crank Pulley (Sold that one too)
New 83mm Wiseco Rings (just want them to be fresh again)
3" V-band clamp and flanges for easy exhaust removal
12" Flex pipe
4 new injector clips


After I get the pulley, I'll head over to the shop to get the rotation assembly balanced. Good thing is they don't need to balance the rods/pistons again.

So..... I can't turn back now. wink.gif

Everything came in the mail, including the main studs. Cleaned and painted block.

I took the crank to the shop today. Should get done by next week. Once I get it, putting together the lower end should go quick.
