If he ordered the one with over sized bearings,it comes machined and balanced.

The crank is a rebuild that has been turned. It came from rockauto.
Apparently it has been polished and balanced.

I'm hoping that if the crank, rods, rod caps, and pistons are balanced separately the motor will be balanced.

I asked about balancing the assembly, and the machine shop said it would cost about $1000.00. Not going to happen.

Yea its pretty nice,i paid $350 for mine to be turned and balanced.think i only paid $650 for my motor.

got my new tires on last night and holy cow man!!i cant even get traction ,when i build boost i get loose!!i tried to do some 0-60 & 1/4 runs last night.the first 0-60 i melted the tires off and about spun out,the second time i burned them thro first and little in second and ran a 8sec flat.i easily burned tires for about 30 feet and prob 3sec so prob could run around 5sec 0-60 easily.i then did a roll out hole 1/4 and i was going so fast i got scared and let off,i was pushing over 90 and still had prob a 1/16 mile left or moreim prob not going to attempt another 1/4 but i will get some 0-60 or 0-80 times.its scary fast tho,if i could get good traction im pretty sure i can list my front driverside tire if the ground!

Remember how much i was breaking loose in the rain with my big tires on?its just about that bad on dry payment with the 33x12.50 on there but twice as fast once it does hook upmy app don't do 1/8mile and it would be stupid fast because that's what my truck is set up for,no one would believe it,going to be hard to convince them of my 0-60.

also for the record im using gps for mph my speedo is about ten mph fast with the street tires.i have a speedo gear in need to swap in sometime

amazing difference! Great to hear. Sounds like your getting to the point where you will have to be careful with your right foot. The chant starts...Dyno.Dyno... Dyno.........

I sure hope the few bills I'm floating on my motor wakes it up more, along with taking care of the low compression cylinder (Of course).
Honestly, my Ex is pretty fast, but its a drug. Its never enough.

O that cam is going to set it off!!o im sure it is fast but if you think its fast now just wait!

 

[Xeek]

can the dyno shop do a 1/4 mile run on the rollers?

 

[vroomzoomboom]

don, when your done with it, i have a felling your going to be reaching for that 4x4 switch more then you think.

 

[Dono]

I gave up on waiting for my headers. I bit the bullet and asked that everything else be shipped since the headers are now not due in to summit racing till Nov 5th. I sure hope they help me out on the extra shipping.

So, my connecting rod bolts, springs, oil pump, and cam will be here by end of day tomorrow (Friday).
This means I should have my block back from the machine shop next week.

Hopefully the headers show up with perfect timing for the motor install. I haven't seen my push rods yet. They were shipped USPS. This works the best cost wise, but there is no tracking available.

James is suggesting a stage 2 kit for water/meth since I have no inter-cooler and it would help a lot to start injecting water/meth at very low boost and ramp it up as boost increases.

Rod bolts came in. The machine shop can now finish the short block.

Also, on the SOHC oil pan, Tim pointed out a couple of bolt gaskets that are on the outside of the oil pan. Since installing the motor and having a leak in the pan area is a bad thing, I ordered new gaskets (Washers with rubber grafted to the inside of them). $16.00 each. ouch.

Coming along though. I'm hoping for the weekend of Oct 27th to pull my motor.

Sweet. Glad to see it comivn along. Me and jd got mine out saturday. Ill be startin the process all over now lol

I haven't had any leaking issues yet...trany pan is a different story better safe than sorry tho,not much longer.what all are you still waiting on?

 

[Dono]

All I'm waiting on are headers, and push rods.

Push rods were ordered a few weeks ago, so hopefully they will be here soon.
Headers are another story. Expected due date to summit is Nov 5th. The weekend before that is when I was hoping to re-install my motor. I might have to move the whole removal/install scheme to actually doing my removal in 2 weeks.

I'll need 1 week with no vehicle so the machine shop can install the dual rate springs, and check the heads for valve sealing.

I'm betting I'll have my short block back from the machine shop by end of this week.
I'll be able to get the high volume oil pump, and Tims SOHC pan (Painted and waiting) on very quickly. Then timing chain.

Then, I wait for the right timing to pull my old motor and get the heads off for the machine shop to perform their magic on.

I dont see a build thread? Or even a continuation of your original refresh.
You didnt post the issues that brought you to where you decided you needed to pull your motor, or just how far your going this time?

I'm hurt (not really). How are we going to learn from what your going thru?
