Nytsky's Engine Build

[rinmak]

Just did my highmount (6boost) and I didnt get much left from a 15m roll (75mm wide). The dump as well ide say budget around 25-30 meters ?

[NYTSKY]

OK ill get two 50ft rolls.

[jeffworld2]

did you finish pulling the engine out today> whats left

[NYTSKY]

Engine is out and almost stripped.Here are some progress pics:

Nice groove in the flywheel!

The culprit!

we heard something drop when lifting the motor out.Broken engine mount

We have both manifolds off and some other bits.

We will have it all stripped tomorrow

Some pics from today:

[NYTSKY]

Found some nice score marks in rod bearing number 2 and 4

[timboyeah]

This incident you speak of it wasn't caused by too much camber on the road was it ?

looking good mate will have to pop round and have a squiz at it soon

[lingeringsoul]

Do you need to buy a specific engine stand? or would any of them do?

[Risking]

The stand his using looks awfully familiar.....

[NYTSKY]

Any stand will do.

Still waiting for my valve springs and main studs to arrive which has made things come to a bit of a halt.

[Dale FZ1]

Is there any idea why it has been picking up on those bearings?

[NYTSKY]

Not a clue Dale.Just lucky i guess

It seems my main studs have been lost in the mail.Noone knows where they are.But on tracking it says there has been 2 attempted deliveries???

[NYTSKY]

Main studs have been found.They were sent to a post office 4 suburbs away

PM sent.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks,the motor will be on its way to being brought to life.I have been some what indecisive about where to send the engine to get all machined up and assembled.

Some of you might think im being a bit pedantic about the whole thing,but you when you have spent the money i have spent on this thing im sure you would be the same.

After some discussion with a fellow forum member this morning i have finally deceided to give the task to Paul(DiRTgarage) and crew.

Im sure you know of his mental 9sec quarter smasher. I told Paul that i wanted someone who will take the time to make sure everything is spot on,and not to cut corners. Paul has assured me this will happen and will look after me.So ill be making the trip up to Newie sometime soon and will be giving constant updates on the progress.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

[NYTSKY]

Im just happy the ball is rolling again.

[shanef]

Thanks Shane,

Happy to be on board with Dave to help out with his build. Parts are off to the machine shop next friday and will post pics of progress if Dave gives us the OK to do so.
