[Sa] Built Rb25 Short Motor, Forged Pistons, Arp Rod Bolts, 8000Kms Old

[Rolls]

I blew the head up in my built rb25det (snapped cam shaft), now when I pulled the head off I noticed that piston to bore clearances were quite large, about ~10 thou or greater I would say, there is nothing wrong with this, the rings seal fine, the bores are perfect and it uses zero oil but it means louder than normal piston slap, and it still rattles when warm, the bottom end however is in brilliant condition.If you aren't familiar with piston slap basically all forged builds do this, just mine happens to be louder than most. Now that I have the engine out he car I figured I could upgrade the engine at the same time I am looking to build either an rb30 or 26 so I am selling the bottom end off.

Now the block is about 8000kms old, had no issues when running apart from the loud piston slap, would be suitable for very high temp/boost applications due to the clearances, when it was running it was making 236rwkw on 18psi with a high flowed rb20 turbo and had zero issues. Here is the receipts for the work done, I personally did not perform this work but the previous owner did.

Has arias forged pistons, arp rod bolts, stock rods and crank, new bearings. Now the motor cost $5.5k to build but I just want it gone so I am very negotiable, so lets say I'll put the price as $1k for an easy sale, I am open to offers however . Here are the receipts for the work, if you want to confirm any of the details with the work shop then feel free to give Rob at Sabbadin a call.

If I get no interest in the motor I will pull the pistons out and sell them.

Still for sale kids, put some oil in the bores and rubbed the pistons and everything and wrapped it up so still in good condition.

Still got it, had a few low ball offers for less than what a stock motor goes for!

C'mon people the pistons alone are almost worth what I am asking.

im curious about the slap? can you pm me abit more information, I know forgies do have some slap but you say its above normal.. not in dangerous levels?

Just a thought mate. How are you measuring the piston to bore clearance with pistons still in block?. I had arias pistons in my Sr, and the crown of the piston ( above top ring) is actually a smaller diameter than the rest of the piston. Which when I checked when I pulled the head off, seemed like I has waaaay too much clearance. But once had pistons out clearance was ok. Good luck with the sale!
