How To Rebuild A 1.3L Suzuki Samurai Engine (Part 1) Crankshaft Installation

[@lawrencecoore3569]

This is the most detail video i have found about engine assembly and funny enough the other videos i watched almost every engine block seem to be assembled the same way i love learning about these stuff

[@alejandrotobienne584]

The joys of changing head gaskets in these. An cleaning pistons on a Saturday for Sunday romp in the Bush.

[@brad8665]

I use a lot of assembly lube, or grease if I'm greasing something, but this is way overboard. Also I would have just used some regular "red and tacky" style grease on the thrust bearings. Anti seize is metallic.

[@jameselliott8541]

Brad V i know right, he's treating it like his butthole prior to some prison rape. the anti seize also seems odd. he's taking such care to not scratch the bearings but then puts metal filing paste right next to them. very curious.

[@patrickkennedy2533]

that lube will get in the holes and when you torqu them it will hydro lock and not seat

[@radmansa5514]

Anti seize has fine metallic particles in it, Rather use a little grease, but wyns charge works best for me

[@stevene9785]

Yeah. This yahoo just put anti seize (graphite) inside the engine. Glad that is not my engine.

[@chippyjohn1]

@@stevene9785 It's copper anti-seize, not going to hurt the engine, especially that amount.

[@stevene9785]

@@chippyjohn1 Never put anti seize on or in moving parts. Period

[@ward26102]

Where is the "tear down" portion of the engine rebuild? Can you recommend videos on that?

[@marketingmajor8126]

Not sure why you would put a metallic paste (anti-seize) right up against a bearing, seems a bit counter-intuitive. A tacky grease would have worked just fine. Those 1.6L Suzuki engines are fun to work on and very dependable. Should be a great rebuild!

[@BIGTAZ351]

IDK about the Japanese engines but almost all American engines main caps ARE torqued with oil on the threads... the sad thing is most people don't know that you get more/also more consistent "with" oil than dry, I disagree with Anti seize inside an engine, and prefer STP to "assy lube" I also put a very thin film of oil on the sides of the main caps where they slide into the block.

[@PatrikGelis]

That's what i was wondering about too. First he torqued em to 41 with no lube, and in the end when I'm very that the lube got into the threads he torqued em to 41 aswell. But is that torque spec for lubed threads or dry threads?

[@stanmarr4488]

Agree

[@Y10Q]

lol I do the same when I lube it. Make sure to cover the bearings completely, every little spot counts.

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

Y10Q You are exactly right!! Thanks for the comment.

I know this series is old, but how about showing how to install a inexpensive turbo on the 1.3 with not a huge boost but enough to go good freeway speeds. That would be great.

[@123ABC-Machine-Basics]

No anti seize on bearings ! Engine oil or assembly grease only ! All the components need to be solvent washed and blow dried including the block then placed on clean rags. The bearings should be measured for thickness using a vernier caliper and the crank needs to be measured using a micrometer - if everything measures correctly it will be good to go , When torquing mains , rods, cylinder heads etc always go in 10# steps then check 3 times at full torque.

[@aronsalad]

Excellent video series, really informative and detailed. Just wondering if you have reused the bolts? I have really hard time finding new bolts for the connecting rods, crankshaft and camshaft.

[@970357ers]

Assembly lube in the main cap bolt threads. Good luck getting an accurate torque with that!

[@PietroEnciu]

I was more concerned about the cracking of the block since the bolt holes are blind.. you actually get a more accurate torque when the bolts are lubed but the problem is they have to be all lubed...

[@Gregg0112]

Doesn’t matter how accurate of a torque wrench he is gonna use. If the thread holes have lube in them you are gonna reach your specified torque before you are actually clamping the cap down to spec. And that’s in a perfect world because all that pressure from the bolt coming down and attempting to compress a liquid very well could crack the block. The threads need a thin coating of engine oil

Is it safe to put assembly lube above the bearing like that where the cops come down and where the lubrication can get behind the bearing

[@1187titanium]

Big glob of assembly lube down a main bolt hole 1 different torque then others that are dry and 2 if its a blind hole could pop out the casting to whatever is on the other side

When you get the crank machined they will let you know how much they cutt off. Ie .010 or .020.

[@WestCoastTip1]

Two questions 1: how do can I get the block that clean from the inside ? I'm in the middle of starting a rebuild with parts from low range but I can't figure out how to get it that clean. 2: what paint do you guys use ? My block is sparkling clean but I would like that grey paint on mine as well . Thank you

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

Our blocks are boiled out and cleaned by the machine shop and the paint we use on them is called "Ford Gray". Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@williamwillwilliam]

Can someone explain why the crankshaft is first installed and then taken out ?

[@kloston1]

He put those thin pieces of plastic to measure something on the crankshaft while its bolted down. So he had to bolt it down then he measured whatever those thin pieces of plastic measured once it was all clamped down. Then he Cleaned it off and greased it all up and reassembled. But it sounds like he was just double checking his machine shop's work to make sure it was machined correctly. So you could probably skip that if you trust yours or where you got the parts

[@Norsology]

Nice video. Is this Suzuki M13A engine or similar?

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Norsology No it is not. The engine used in the video is a G13A/B engine. It is a single overhead cam engine. Whereas the M13 is a dual overhead cam engine. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The blocks are basically the same but the heads are different. However, the rebuild procedures are very close to each other. Our rebuild video series could be used as a basic guide. But, keep in mind that not all parts are alike. You could learn more by following this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_G_engine . If you need help with parts or have further questions, our most knowledgeable person here at Low Range is William. Call during working hours and he will happy to assist you. Just call 801-805-6644 between 8 and 5 MDT. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@mosesposes]

i was wondering that too. dry torque bolt heads and threads don't torque as well as oiled ones do.

[@MrTor95]

Hey lowrangeoffroad. some years ago i did the same on my samurai engine and i instaled the crankshaft and pistons like you did, and torqued everything, but when i was going to try to turn the cranshaft and checking if it was loos, ther were 1mm clearance, and when i contacted the place were i bught the bearings, they said it was going to be like that. but no. so i had to stop rebuild my engin for a while.

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

Thanks for the question. I need to ask several questions. 1)How do you know you have 1mm clearance. That is a lot of clearance. You need to have about .025mm (.001") to .051mm (.002") 2 ) Was the crankshaft machined? If so how much was removed during the machining process from the rod journals and the crankshaft journals? This will give us a place to start. Once you have this information I suggest you call 801-805-6644 and ask for William. He is our Master Engine builder. He can answer your questions and help you with part if needed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MrTor95]

we clearly felt that it was aboute 1mm clearance with the new bearings on, but the crankshaft wasnt machind when i removed it from the block, but we belive it was machined when the previous owner had the car, and that he got custom made bearings with it. but i have a new engine (bouhgt it with a case of 24 beer's) now because my dad let the block stay outside so it got rusted. so im going to rebuild the new engine, and buy a new camshaft and rocker arms, and then get the crankshaft machined with custom bearings with it. living in norway, so it will be a bit difficult to call William because the time diffrence. but i may be contacting you gus and order some parts for the car ;)

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

Great. Let us know if we can help. We will most likely have everything you need. You are about 8 hours ahead of us. So if you called after 5:00 pm your time we will be just getting started here. Call if you'd like. Or you could email us at [e-mail]. Good luck with the rebuild.

[@MrTor95]

ok, Thanks ;)

[@Honda04400]

me and my father had the same problem on a rebuild. we had an untouched crank, and just ordered a standard bearing kit. After assembling the engine and running it. we quickly discovered the bearings where too tight and ruined the crank along with the bearings. upon further research we discovered each individual journal on the crank actually has a different tolerance, some are very close to the same and some are quite drastically different in tolerance. never have we seen or heard of this before. Anyone else experience the same?? or ever heard of this??
