well i got my block back from the machine shop. And after fanticly calling Tony, then finding out that i did a stupid mistake in measuring, I finally got what bearings i need to get.


Here are the measurements Crank 1) .1906 2) .1906 3) .1894 4) .1907 5) .1907 Block 1) .3484 2) .3484 3) .3484 4) .3489 5) .3486 and with .0015 on 1,2,4,5 i get these bearing numbers 1).07815 (red) 2) .07815 (red) 4) .07835 (red) 5) .0782 (red) and using .0018 for 3 it will be 3) .07895. (green). I had number 3 at .0015 but Tony advised me to go with .0018, so it pushed it from a yellow to a green. So i will order the part tmrw along with a new oil squirter at the happy price of $100. Atleast im making progress.


Anybody want some Standard King Bearings. equal to honda browns

The other surprise was that the honing was suppose to be 125 but because of Honda Bimetal Block it ended up costing me 270 including a Jet Clean.

 

Fok doood. Sorry to hear it's being such an expense but I'm glad to hear it's coming together! If things keep going my way, there will be plenty of room in my garage to work on your exhaust (very soon). Of course, that's more money for you to spend on materials for that thing... but... uh... where was I going with that? Oh yeah, the welding is free.

I've got a furnished bedroom for you (with cable and a TV now) if you wind up having to stay overnight or for the weekend to get it straight. Bring an extra $20 spot for Hillbilly Red's Barbecue. I've had their ribs and the brisket and it's to die for.

Multiple wins for you whenever you're ready.

 

I will definitly take you on that offer. Now i have to do some more side jobs so i can get some extra cash.

 

Okay, you can't use the spare bedroom for THAT! :eek3: :shhh:

 

I ment at my shop......

 

i don't mind, keeps my brain functioning in the winter months..

we've got so much damn snow here! 18 inches of snow sittin on top of the cars out side...

i mean the rhino is good fun this time of the year but geez, this snow is gettin old.

 

Well the motor is in and running. I drove it home yesterday. Oil pressure if good, water temp is good, and there is no strange noises. Hey tony on cold start up OP is 70 PSI. does that sound right???


The only causuality is the sender for my oil pressure gauge, so i ghetto rigged it right now so that it would work most of the time. I will bring it back in today and check again for leaks. I had to get use to my clutch again, after driving a auto for so long.

 

70 psi cold start up sounds a little high, but not unusual.

whats is idle psi after its warm? and what is it above 3500 rpm

 

around 15-20 PSI at idle and around 60 at 3500

 

sounds like what I get, but I've got a D so that's probably not much help
