i phone doesnt do close ups lol.

crank is ok ish... number 2 is the only bearing thats damaged.. number one shows significant wear also. measured it up and number 2 on the crank is only ever so slightly under the minimum tolerance. soooo.. gonna get it reground 10tho undersize and go with the larger acl Race bearings, new mains, new oil pump and then re assy.

pistons, rods, rings, bores all look like they just rolled out of nissan. not sure if i should bother with going forgies. no det marks, no nothing on the pistons.

If you can pull it all out yourself then I would save the $1k for forgies, almost all dead motors are oil problems. Go baffled sump, oil pump, bearings, crank collar (or is this fixed with neo motors?)

If you kill it via pistons then it is almost certainly det related which means tuning and you said this is sweet.

sre they 86.5's? come with rings and pins?

if so how much again?

Click the link in my signature.... comes with everything, new in the box for $1250 yes they are 86.5mm.

Got a crank aswell but doesn't look like you need it.

rods are fatter.

with the piston the crown is hollowed out with two large holes allowing oil to be squired up into them, the rods have a tiny oil hole facing the crown, along with the piston bore squirter. the ring lands are fatter on the neo's and as for weight the neo piston and rod even tho it has more material is slightly lighter then non neo.

Good to see a direct comparison and the photos are great, i am hoping i don't have to see the insides of my engine for quite a while yet :thumbsup:

Since you've done so much damage, why don't you just get another neo from a wrecker and go again. It only died because your oil was on the track. I think a neo with a good sump will last for ages. 90% of rb's die from oil starvation of some description, or a bad tune. Don't see too many die from being pushed too far

    • Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device?

    • Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.
    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
