JDM B18C Type R Short Block REBUILD (Full Rotating Assembly)

[@nismospek]

This is one of the most informative engine building videos out there. You should really video tape the install on the small stuff too.

[@YoungStatic]

Thanks! i actually did, but it was starting to get into the 40+mins thats why the last clip, the block accessories were all attached

One thing I've learned after a few engine builds, mineral spirits takes plaste gauge off like magic. Way better than anything else I've tried.

[@Nopalesgarage]

You really did a great job Dana !! I like how u corrected the way u clocked the piston rings I was 😥 but once I seen u corrected I was 👍. I personally don't put oil on the rod bolts or any bolts inside the engine , the more oil it has inside the bolt the tighter it gets, and once u torq it , it will throws off the torq reading. U also know once the engine gets hot, it expands the oil inside the bolts and the oil becomes thinner, so the bolt losses its bolts tension thus bolt and or nuts becoming loosen through the engine life. But u didnt use that much i 👀. Rule of thumb I use locktight instead of oil and very little .. this gives it longevity going 100k+ miles. Thats my opinion tho Boss !! Mad respects !! Keep the videos coming

[@dawsonmacie6984]

I thought its possible you cant get a proper torque reading unless you lubricate the bolts and washers?

[@Marcturbo1]

You must use oil to get accurate torque, or are lube if specified. Just not so much it hydraulics a bolt hole if blind

Hey brother you give me the confidence to accomplish a lot of stuff myself great video

Got to love the step-by-step always appreciate the videos keep them coming static

Awesome bro I’m not an engine builder myself and I rebuild my GSR and my girlfriend Toyota RAV4 after a head gasket failure at 190,000 miles plus it was smoking a little too so I rebuild the whole engine and 287,000 miles the Toyota still running strong no smoke and no oil leaks so I’m proud of myself. The GSR don’t know about since I no longer own the civic because I sold it. But rebuilding an engine it’s all about making sure your parts are in good conditions to be reuse and mainly are your clearances and you’re good to go. You follow the steps really good on your clearances so I’m confident in your rebuild. Keep doing what you doing 💯👍💪

[@Jackson911911]

I am so new, but I understood all you did. Thank you for showing this. And I am on my way to trying some of these Honda rebuilds because you posted this. Very detailed and the way it should be done! Thanks.

Good Job Dana! Everything looks awesome, rotates very smooth and effortlessly 👍 very informative video, will definitely come in handy when i start building my H22A4

[@erikp9014]

I’m planning on doing a similar build as you soon. Can you tell me where you found the engine specifications. Is there like a website you used?

[@slackerzsincity6947]

Hell yeah, it’s about time you did it. Only way to learn is to break a couple engines, might be tight on the factory side or a little loose on the piston rings for more power

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

Motor builds rule big up man keep up the great work Danna love the channel great knowledge great that u share it and show how it's done respect .

[@TheJohnnyef9]

Really cool video. I tried rebuilding a single cam year ago and I didn't run right. I learned more later on some of the operations I did wrong and I just stored the engine away to leave alone and went with a different engine running. What I learned off your video was the clocking of the piston rings I didn't do that lol. Also I didn't measure my rings or knew there was a file. Shows I was a rookie but like you I came to the day where I gave it a try and I still have my engine and feel like giving it another go :)

Nice work, I think Eric The Car Guy used some fuel hose on the connecting rod studs when inserting into the block. 👍

Lol i seen it and didnt even think about that haha!

[@upnorthviking823]

In school if we forgot those we failed engine module.can scratch the journals easy

Even if I forgot the “fuel hose “ as a sleeve, I still took precautionary actions with the rag on the journal to protect it from the rod studs

[@williamta9408]

great video! you should use assembly lube on the wrist pins and bearings

[@tonysegura1433]

@youngstaic great job bro everything looked great! Only thing i wouldn't have done is put assembly lube on the bottom of the main caps, that can change the true reading on your plasti gauge. But everything else looked perfect.

[@Handyman50000]

Thats what i was thinkin too cuz i was told not to add lube when checking clearances

[@YoungStatic]

probably only because i watched a few videos where they did lube before crank and measurement. its funny because i used the manual and its suppose to be dry LOL

[@tonysegura1433]

Static how did you polish the crank?? I’ve got one I need done but why not diy? I’d appreciate the help.

[@ArturoFlores-et8jz]

Same, I'd like to know that too

[@upnorthviking823]

Can use a strip of 2k grid and run it around pulling both ends at a time.depending if its got scoring u will need to chose the right grid to remove the scratch without removing to much material..and build your way back up to 2k...u can use a shoelace wrap it around the sanding paper to keep the paper around the entire journal..pull on end at a time..after you are done i sugess plasti gauging the bearings to measure tolerances..dont want to much space between journal and bearing it plays a role with oil pressure... Hope this helps.kind of hard to exlain without images..plasti gauge you buy strips at autoparts store..its a tiny plastic wire into a paper that has grads to measure...you lay the plastic on the journal..put bearings,caps torque it down...pull it back appart..then use the paper to measure how wide the plastic got when it got squished between journal and bearing...this is how you measure crank n rods bearings tolerances...if its too loose gota get up sized bearings... Gd luck

[@deieznuts]

Yea a shoe string with polishing compound takes some time. DIY

[@YoungStatic]

literally typed in youtube and watched videos on how to polish a crank shaft. most used a shoe string, i saw a video where this kid had his crank sitting on the jackstand and used a drill to rotate it.

i like how informative it is, im trying to rebuild a b18b1 but im doing exactly what you did but maxing out my reeler gauge, they are std rings and std bore, should i buy slightly bigger rings and file them down to get them into spec?

[@mikefoster4105]

Great job bro!! Lots of good info but i really wish you'd use a rod bolt stretch Gage and also a bore gage as well.... You can get them at harbor fright for cheap. The rod bolt stretch is really important as just using a torque wrench can very just on the amount of lube you use on the threads.... Im still learning all of it too.....

[@andrewnoel9070]

U can use dot3 brake fluid to clean the top of the pistons pour it on let it sit for 20 mins then go back with a silver Nickle brush and clean them and then use rag to whip clean I did it that way on my y8 and they looked like new

Hey i know this is a 4 year old video but i have the same motor and my second ring is at 26 thou and thats out of spec wanted to know what rings you used.

What rings you end up buying again that work? Having the same issue with the ring gap big too big out of the box. Nippon pistons is what I bought but both top rings are gap too big out of the box. Thanks in advance

15 is pretty tight for the power levels that you are trying to achieve... 17-19 is really what you should aim for. You should have used a X bearing

power level? this is a stock rebuild na motor not a boosted setup.

YoungStatic oh my bad, I thought you was rebuilding the motor for the Crx but I must have missed some of your previous videos. My bad. Yea for stock build is good.
