Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[wedge_r34gtr]

I used that shell oil you get in the red container...the one you see at servo's all the time - for my run in. ~$40bucks for 10L, you can't really go wrong.

Diesel oil would be fine, but the extra detergents wouldn't really be doing anything as the engine should already be sqeaky clean!!!!

Keen to see the results for this (re)build!

Penrite HPR30. It's loaded with the most zinc of any oil on the market, making it perfect for run-in of camshafts/bottom end etc.

That's what I've just put in mine!

Few things to do my ass.

Lol. I was at unigroup and saw what you brought there!!!!

PS: your front cam cover looks great!!

I think that is what I ran, pen rite run in oil. Your engine builder should guide you on what oil to use for run in

Look at a radiator filter while your getting it ready, after my rebuild it caught a fair bit or sealants and other crap, even after the chemical clean it still collects bits of crud that would have other wise gone through the water pump and maybe got stuck in the radiator.

Disclaimer: The RB30 that went into my boat was probably 30 yrs old and no matter how much cleaning you get done it will not remove all the old broken down rusty crap that has had that time to build up inside its cooling system, which it seems, is quite alot.

Here is something interesting

Here I was stressing about valve to piston clearence with the 1.5mm OS valves. Now with a 0.9 mm head gasket (smallest I could find), squish of 29 thou and cams with over 10.8 mm of lift the clearence on the intake was 2.2 mm and OVER 3 mm on the exhaust. I could have not relieved them So much for Tomei's "Over 10.8 mm relieve the pistons" GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hi Piggaz,

just curious what your cam centerlines, lift and duration were set at for this

[Piggaz]

OK. I was out there today, all coming along. New oil cooler core and lines were going in. I changed the core because the old one would have been full of N1 oil pump gears!

I suspect startup and run in is Monday/Tuesday. I have some pics that I took today so i'll throw them up soon.
