1.8T STROKER CRANKSHAFT // Checking Journal clearances and Endfloat // 1.8T Stroker Engine Build

[@richardstubbings6962]

Mint Nick, like the way you wasn't getting involved in the "forged" not "forged" debate. Technically perfect, you don't know it but I think I've found myself my engine builder. 😉

[@DecimalTenths]

Most technical aspect is trying to film it mate...🤔🤣.

[@mohammeddmalik]

Just stumbled across your channel, loving your content bro!

[@DecimalTenths]

Thankyou very much dude 👍👍

[@chriswalter7030]

Great video! Just checked the two (non-stroker) cranks I’ve got and both perfect, thanks to your vid helping to show what and how to measure. Keep em coming.

[@DecimalTenths]

Nice one glad it helped you out. More coming very soon 👍

[@saltcandy1123]

Liking these in depth videos mate can’t wait to hear the engine start up 👍

[@DecimalTenths]

Cheers mate, lots more to come.

[@bunter6]

Great video, explains things very clearly & shows just how much actually goes into a rebuild, its not jsut a case of buying a crank, pistons and rods and flinging them in.

[@DecimalTenths]

Oh aye mate theres tonnes goes into it. Scary thing is theres tonnes more to come...🤔🤣

[@rafaelcordova6374]

I currently am doing the same work ur doing here and using ur video as a guide. Lots of new learning for me, thanks for that! I do find it challenging to measure the bores of the engine though, too much human error in the process imo

[@MrZamfirmarius]

Very good lesson, mate! I'm watching you second by second:)))) Keep up the good work and I hope everything will go as planned!

[@DecimalTenths]

I hope it goes well too mate! Cheers for watching

[@davesmith4681]

Great video mate, just what i was looking for!

[@darylkarshe7427]

Another great video, with tonnes of information 👍. Fair play Nick.

[@DecimalTenths]

Cheers man. Found it tricky trying to get all the info in, whilst making it interesting. Tonnes more to come 😳

[@darylkarshe7427]

@@DecimalTenths i bet it was. I've only started properly learning about testing clearances etc in the past year. I have a 1.8t AYP engine I'm rebuilding with forged rods on my own. First time for everything 👍🔧.

[@DecimalTenths]

@@darylkarshe7427 defo mate, do it properly and have the piece of mind to kick its head in 🤣

[@darylkarshe7427]

@@DecimalTenths 😂 will do mate. Can't wait for the next episodes. Give me a guideline of how to assemble mine properly. Take care 👍.

[@zainhanif1922]

Anyone know where I can get a list of pdf of what these tolerances and measurements should be for the various items ?

[@Ravingbiker]

Great video nick, looking forward to the next one👍

[@DecimalTenths]

Cheers mate, next one wont be too far away. I did get them off ebay, they're not the cheapest ones like. I'll be detailing the exact bits in an upcoming video, and how I calibrate them.

[@GamingByCalslaur4]

Areet decimal tenths ur videos are mint and very informative thank u. Am doing a 1.8t build my crank is scoured to bits cause I spun cyl 4 big end bearings and they partially seized to crank. So am gonna get the 2l crank. Av got a question cos am local where in Newcastle do you take your block for machining? and also can I just use the stock pistons and bore with 2l crank? Im doing a 400- 500bhp build. Thanks

[@markshone4606]

Cracking vid bud very well explained

[@DecimalTenths]

Thanks 👍😉

[@rafaelcordova6374]

Question for you, I have watched and learned this process you teach over the last 2 years and now that I am finally building one of my own I have a question. Would you build a high-performance engine with the tightest possible tolerances? Say the mains on the crank, for example, are OEM dimensions, 54.00mm minus the tolerance of .017 = 53.983. Would you build a high-performance engine with that tight of a tolerance? That is what I think would be perfect and fresh for a new engine, right?

[@DecimalTenths]

Good question 👍. In our experience of building engines commercially now also, is that as long as you are within tolerance then you are fine. There is arguments for tighter tolerances which improve oil pressure but cause a huge loading on the oil which creates heat, coupled with no allowance for warpage in the block or main caps due to torque. Another take on it generally, is a slightly looser tolerance, which allows a fast oil transfer across the bearings, less heat and a margin of space for movement. Oil thickness/heat rating, cooling and pumping capabilites have to be matched to each option.

[@liamroberts9545]

Awesome video. Very informative keep it up 👍

[@DecimalTenths]

Cheers 👍

[@EduardM.]

👍 nice, do you think that the BAM crankshaft is different to AVC? I am playing with the idea to swapy my avc to bam crankshaft. As my screwed up by the previous owner...

[@lowmonte1978]

So there is no additional machining to be done to the block regarding the fitting of the FSI crank? Just have to change the ring gear?

[@DecimalTenths]

Yes that's correct 👍👍

[@lowmonte1978]

@@DecimalTenths great! Makes me like 100x more confident to take on a stroker project!

[@michaelmichael7649]

Very nice

[@michaelmatthews8171]

Where did you get your measuring gear from???

[@DecimalTenths]

I'm planning on doing a full engine tools video very soon mate where ill detail it all. They're not expensive though

[@madsmachonpedersen4664]

Can you use the tfsi trigger wheel?

[@DecimalTenths]

Yup, same as 1.8t trigger wheel. 👍

[@madsmachonpedersen4664]

@@DecimalTenths Okay thank you. I just wondered since the tfsi has holes in it and my old 1.8t has bumps on it

[@DecimalTenths]

@@madsmachonpedersen4664 if it looks different then it may be different. Is it definately an EA113 crank? If it's the later EA888 tfsi then it may indeed be different.

[@madsmachonpedersen4664]

@@DecimalTenths Im not sure. My tfsi trigger looks like yours, while my 1.8t is different

[@DecimalTenths]

@@madsmachonpedersen4664 what code 1.8t have you got?

[@Ravingbiker]

Can I ask, where did you source the micrometer set... was it an eBay jobbie?

[@NOVAENGINS9252]

What crank is that ? As I'm also wanting to build 2.0L stroker

[@DecimalTenths]

This one was a 2.0 FSI crank, also use a TFSI version.

[@ryanthethumb]

Whats the diffrence with the 1.9 diesel cranks

[@etextremetools]

hi i'm making a stroker engine can you tell me which engine is that crankshaft?

[@DecimalTenths]

Hi there, this crankshaft is an 06AF crank from a 2.0 FSI engine. Commonly found in vag group engines 2005-2010 ish i believe

[@etextremetools]

Decimal Tenths thank you today I found an ATD 1.9 TDI, I hope to be able to make it work, the 2.0 FSI in Italy is rare.

[@adamkorekach9936]

What is wrong with using a vernier caliper?

[@huseyinozdemir1049]

Hello sir Will put a 06af crankshaft in a BAM engine Can i use all these crankshafts ? Many are using the 2.0 tfsi crank but i cant find one in a good condition... The crankshaft i bought looks like yours Its from an caddy ecofuel 2.0 engine code BSX Stroke is 92.8 Is there any differences or all these cranks are hardened ? It will go up to 500hp Thank you in forward

[@DecimalTenths]

Hi there yes you can use an 06AF crank. They aren't forged, but will support 500bhp yes.

[@huseyinozdemir1049]

@@DecimalTenths thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I mean "forged" sorry 😅 Do you know how many hp it withstand or is there someone has already tested it ...
