Three built motors in this pic. Mine in the front, Charley's (my350z member), and 'ol grandpa VH45 in the back.

Washing the anti corrosion coating off the bearings.


HIT A SNAG!
I began plastigauging from cylinder 6 all the way to the front, once I got to cylinder #2, I see this and see I have a scored bearing Now I gotta see if the machine shop can smooth this out for me or if I have to scrap the crank.

 

Had to perform surgery on the crank.


I took a dremel buffing bit and some compound and buffed out the scratch.

 

Nice work so far! Will be waiting for the next update.

 

Looks like fun, even the surgery part. Good thing you caught that.

Subscribed.

 

You are brave. Good work.

 

The car feels amazing now with the higher compression! I've only put about 150mi so far so i cant really get on it just yet. Can't wait to make another burnout video. Hopefully this time I'll have a cameraman to help out.

 

So the motor is in the car already?

Pics and video please. please please

 

very nice

 

You install yourself?

 

Moar!!!

 

Sick cant wait to see the fnished results!

 

yep the motors' already in and running strong. All work was done by me...
I'm on a 2 week vacation but I'll throw a few videos up when I get back.

 

So how did the crank end up?

 

It was a tiny scratch that could have seriously messed up the bearing but I managed to smooth it out and it worked out just fine.

 

Nice work! Did you have a built engine before? I see you said you like the higher 9:1 compression I assume built engine with 8.5:1 before. I was wondering what kind of power differences 9:1 would be to 8.5:1 at say 14-15psi?
