hahaha obviously becuase you are intending to catch up with me in the blown engine race :(

kennards have made a business out of hiring stuff for half the price of buying one outright....then it plays with your mind....would I ever need this again or will it just take up space in the shed.....

ummm i dont think i wanna get near you duncan..

havent blown up and engine yet, and dont want to..

i just pull motors out of cars for fun.. :huh:

currently converting lancer to manual cos auto is soooo annoying lol

but yeah, it can be used for heaps of stuff really... not just engines.

Did your dodgy engine-in 'rebuild' go sour? Or did you come to your senses and decide to remove it and do things properly?

it wasnt dodgy you moron. just because i dont need to take a motor out to fix it, it doesnt mean it was a dodgy build.

the problem ended out being the gtr rods i bought werent standard size (big end dia.). that was the only reason it didnt go together properly. so how about you keep little comments like that to yourself till you know what actually happened.. mmk pumpkin.

You tell him .....

Ah well we all learn by our mistakes.

Good luck with it this time, if i was you i'll check the crank for runout as well.

crank is going to have everything done to it, including balancing. the heads going in for a service too.

Good to see you are not taking any risks this time around, make sure your crank guy is someone you can trust to do the job right ( a lot dont ), i always check it myself when i get it back .

Bearing clearances are very important too, make sure you check or have someone check them for you .

Dont rush things , take your time assembling and checking more than once and you will be right this time .

Are you reboring the block ? If i was you i would ..

  • 4 weeks later...

nah i didnt do a re-bore. clearances were fine with the hone and i got good pre-run in compression when i had it on the road before it stuffed up again.

crank and bearings are coming in on monday so it should all be back together before the next weekend (fingers crossed).

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
