K24 piston install part 2

[@wyattoneable]

No one rebuilds engines anymore. Nice work and have a Great 2019!

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

Bro what lol engines are rebuilt by the thousand daily

[@wyattoneable]

@@Mr.Thermistor7228I was referring to repair shops. I realize engines are rebuilt, but no shop I know of rebuilds an engine in house, they mostly order a rebuilt engine from outside vendors.

[@EXOVCDS]

Awesome attention to details!!

[@themechanic6117]

Thanks Thomas, having to pull everything back apart sucked but I got it fixed before it caused real damage to the block. 👍

Your wearing a tank top to be formal but you like to party . I'm thinking your partying already :) I seen a guy from Saudi Arabia torque a new head gasket down on a corolla with just a breaker bar saying you have to go by feel . One year later it was still running fine . LOL

[@themechanic6117]

Lol just like any other bolt on a car I'm sure you can tighten them by feel but for peace of mind I'd rather torque ,plus I don't need all the keyboard warriors on the web of KZbin calling me names and saying what a shit job I did....which I get anyway 😂👍

[@markcordova7364]

Nice work need part3

[@themechanic6117]

The engine is finished...check the playlist...

[@noblewon3507]

Hahaha moist.. I just want to make sure I have this right . When installing the Piston the ones with the deepest holes are for the intake side facing the front of the car?

[@themechanic6117]

Yes thats correct

[@noblewon3507]

@@themechanic6117 ok thx

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

Hey bro when you say your cleaning with a coffee filter and brake clean what exactly do you mean? lmao, your using a coffee filter in place of a towel/rag? What is the advantage of using a coffee filter? Ive never heard that before just curious and always looking for better ways to do things

[@brentowen9480]

maybe it's never happened but I was taught to always clock the c-clips for the wrist pin to 6 or 12 oclock. Think about one clocked to 3 or 9 oclock and the piston forces squeezing the clip and popping out.

[@themechanic6117]

I tried rotating them while installed and I'd could not get them to move. They're in there so tight I can't see them coming out. If i were worried about them id take everything apart again . Not saying you're wrong though. Thanks for the tip

[@brentowen9480]

@@themechanic6117 ya, i doubt they even would, I have to lift the end in the recess to start it in the groove then they'll spin.

[@zacharycofer5929]

False information

[@johnr154]

What happens if the spec didn’t meet? The part where to used the string clay on the crank n rods as you’re torquing it.

[@themechanic6117]

Then you change the bearings until you get the specs you need

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Love it! Here's to a moist 2019!!! 😉😂😂😂🎉

[@themechanic6117]

😂😂👍 Yes! Lol

[@poketrainersquad9772]

What size socket is it for the pistons bolt's? Do I need a 12 teeth socket

[@themechanic6117]

Do you mean the connecting rod bolts?

[@domokun900]

what piston to wall clearance did you use?

[@ADR69]

I thought the end cap bolts stretch when torqued so are they still good to reuse after you plastigauged them?

[@themechanic6117]

I believe oem bolts do but ARP bolts can be reused.

[@ktcgarage8572]

Keep your rod moist. Hahahahaha

[@themechanic6117]

💧💧😂

[@lukeramoutar3419]

The easiest way to get those connecting rod caps off if just loosen the bolts but not all the way n not to the end of the thread so you don't fuck up the threads...n just tap the bolts n bam you good to go...great video bro but I can't stand seeing you struggle with those bearing caps lol

[@themechanic6117]

Thanks for the tips 👍

[@mcballer______]

Is ur crank a bit hard to turn since u assembled the pistons or is it suppose to spin free

[@themechanic6117]

There should be some resistance. It won't spin freely

[@georgebonney90]

i curious to kno what this beast of a engine is going in

[@themechanic6117]

A crx , but I need to find a clean one to buy. I'm still looking

[@txsviking]

Perfection!

[@90slegends49]

Hi, planning to build k24 engine with aftermarket piston and rods, goal is 650whp, can I run cp 11:1? Our octane is 98, appreciate your advise

[@themechanic6117]

Only way you'll make that much power is with a turbo

[@90slegends49]

@@themechanic6117 ya the plan is to turbo charge but we want more from engine power than turbo, thr way to go is higher cp maybe like 11:1

[@mcballer______]

The tangs suppose to face the exhust side 🙏🏼

[@themechanic6117]

Didn't know that... I'm sure it'll be fine 😁

Where did you limit the vtc when tuning your engine?

[@themechanic6117]

I didn't limit anything

I think moist was found to be the grossest word in English

Yes I think that's true 😂👍
