This is a wonderful video, thank you for making this.

[@denstoj]

Appreciate it! Anything else you’d like to see?

@@denstoj Unlikely, but an FA24 full teardown.

[@denstoj]

@@haifai3916 thanks, yeah not planning to do it anytime soon but will keep it in mind. Happy Easter!

Did you need to support the transmission to prevent it from falling once the engine is removed? Thanks for the video!

[@denstoj]

Glad you found the video helpful! The transmission doesn't necessarily need external support when the engine is removed, as it's well-supported by its own mounts which makes things easier. Are you planning to pull your 86/BRZ motor out?

Theoretically we shouldn't have valve float and flip one of the rocker arms out.

[@denstoj]

@VinRZ theoretically totally agree with you but in practice the valve spring can lose control of the valve for split second under a float/bounce/stick condition and the rocker could drop. It's not helped by gravity being against it with the boxer arrangement.

[@VinRZ]

​@denstoj point is, we shouldn't have valve float with the behive redesigned valve springs. Yes, at 9000 rpm, these valve springs won't keep up with the cam rotation, but at that rotation speed dropping a valve is the last thing I'm worried about.

@@VinRZ Hey @VinRZ, again agree with you, the redesigned beehive valve springs are an improvement, however, the rocker is still floating. Yes, at 9,000 rpm it's the least of your worries but valve float/stick/bounce can happen across the rev range especially under track conditions. More expensive, high performance engines like the BMW B58 in the Supra run a retainer clip for this reason. kzbin.infoUgkxuOoS4rvnUSjs-JlaFsIuwjUv-lLUeEen Happy New Year. Keen to hear your thoughts.
