B, GREAT info! Quick question though, what would happen if the cas gear sporcket is fitted with the beveled part towards the fron cover instead of the iron? I can't remember if "overlooked" this https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif Nothing. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif B |

Thanks, Anthony

Ever had something keep the crank from turning while doing the front cover assy? Note sure what you mean by that, as I've found the main problem to be keeping the cursed bearing spacer from dropping. What I ended up doing is bolting a piece of angle iron across two bellhousing bolts so that it holds the E-shaft up. The bolts are spring loaded with valvesprings so the shaft can drop back down when I snug things up. |

Know how I know? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif B I took apart a motor this weekend, turns out the thrust washer was not facing the right way or the oil gear. The guy ended up blowing the motor due to detonation I think, (the rotor was dented) and the apex seal gone on the front rotor. I'll post some pics of the thrust washer after a few hundred miles. It looks like it was starting to go. if you can tell me what you think that would be great. Thanks for the response, Anthony |

Just for reference as stated to always check the end play but you must do this with the parts un lubed and if the items check out ok tear down and reassembly with lube.

Yep, stacking the items up in a step prior to doing the actual assembly. It's also a good and quick way to see if there's a problem w/ the stack itself. Ever had something keep the crank from turning while doing the front cover assy?

Sorry for bringing up such an old topic, but what difference does having everything lubed make?
The oil takes up some of the clearance and adds some stiction, making it difficult to get an accurate measurement. I'm lazy so I only put it together once and check it with a prybar on the flywheel. If it clunks, ship it. If it won't move, pull it apart and find out why. I have only ever had one that didn't move, and that was because I mixed front end stack parts from different engines. Normally when I disassemble a core, I wire-tie the washer/bearings/spacer together so they can be reused as a set. On this particular engine the washer had severe spalling wear on one side so I grabbed a washer from a different engine. Oops. Because I was short on time, I grabbed the original, spalled washer and put it in backwards so the main thrust loads from the clutch would be pushing on the smooth face. Perhaps not the best solution in hindsight but at the time, I was in a real big hurry to get the engine together, and philosophically I didn't expect the engine to last very long anyway. I've been using THAT car as a daily driver all year, since my regular driver decided to be a piece of crap, and it's still running just fine. |
