5EFE engine needs new bearings

[@edcass9]

Whoa! Nice Monaro! Keep up the good work, this info about the coatings is interesting.

[@Camp_Dogs]

Yeah a bit sad finding that problem... but at least the engine is still repairable

[@Timroycampbell]

Matt I make 102hp on pump gas ⛽️ in Jamaica 🇯🇲 my all motor 4efe

[@Camp_Dogs]

Good work timbo

[@Timroycampbell]

Factory ecu and a emanege

@@Camp_Dogs what's the oil pressure should be on a 4efe mind is low at 15psi wen hot

[@Timroycampbell]

How far is ur all motor 5e it for the next video

[@Timroycampbell]

@@Camp_Dogs thanks

[@SinisterBlackShadow]

Ahoy! Hey by chance you recall what your bearing clearance was?

[@Camp_Dogs]

Just stock. Around 1.5 We have ground cranks up to 3 thou clearance.

[@SinisterBlackShadow]

@@Camp_Dogs Ah, copy that. Sounds good thanks! Right on! Yeah I'm going back through y'all's videos lately since I'm finally rebuilding my 5efe. Well, thanks again for the info.

[@tundacat2703]

Should lube/oil be applied to the upper bearings before inserting the crank? Saw it somewhere about it being incorrect, not sure though.🤔

[@Camp_Dogs]

Yeah I used to use engine oil but after removing the bearings after the first start up, there was damage already on the bearings. I now use an engine assembly lube/grease on all moving surfaces before start up

[@madmovements619]

is there a thin washer under the cap that goes on the spring in the oil relief valve?

[@Camp_Dogs]

yes

[@madmovements619]

@@Camp_Dogs Oh good 😅! Because I’m building and 5efhe and i cleaned the valve. I also added another thin washer to up the pressure a bit because I always hear the 5e suffers from low oil pressure.

[@Camp_Dogs]

@@madmovements619 the extra washer does nothing. i dont even use them anymore.... watch this video, it explains why these engines have oil pressure problems... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiugatnrtOMq6M

@@Camp_Dogs thanks man! I hope my turbo isn’t restrictive. It’s a Garrett gt2560r with the .64 ar rear housing

[@andrew1977au]

Was that detonation on top of the pistons?

[@Camp_Dogs]

nah the coatings have flaked off

[@Camp_Dogs]

Do you watch my videos or just take the piss out of me every time I upload one 😂

[@andrew1977au]

Matt Berry not taking the piss mate, trying to lead you on the right path without handing over the answers. Hopefully the engine holds this time. If it does send me a high res pic of the spark plugs

[@Camp_Dogs]

+andrew1977au nah all good I know what you were like 10 years ago 😂 never could tell when you were fucking around. I'll be happy to send you some info. You were always cluey about the little things. Cheers!

[@andrew1977au]

Matt Berry lol still am dude. I got Pete’s laser to run a 10.6 with is 1.6 and the cylinder head off my street car. His new car has ran 9.4 (all motor) both fwd, you’ve got a long way to go but keep things simple and you’ll get there.

[@davidc4679]

So the problem was useing chinese beer cans for bearing or assembly lube? Lol. Side note could prolly use beer cans as shim material if your con rods are worn
