BEFORE compressing the rings, LUBRICATE the rings, the piston skirt and even the ring compressor itself with engine oil. Even the cylinder walls should be lightly lubricated, Otherwise damage may occur during piston installation.

just a tip for next time. before you send your engine to the machine shop that is the best time to remove the old paint this way you can get ALL of it off. then once you get it back you can use a good primer before you paint it. its just better to start completely fresh as opposed to removing just the loose paint

the cross hatch put in the cylinder during the honing process will make the rings rotate in the cylinder, and due to imperfections and differences in the thickness and design of each ring, they will rotate at different speeds. in fact all two stroke engines have pins in the pistons that disables the rings ability to rotate, so the orientation of the ring gaps during assembly is pointless because it will all get messed up during engine operation.

Threadlock maybe used, but the torque values may differ. Common application would be on the rodbolts. Pretty sure the ARP site covers the use of other compounds and how they change the torque required. It still remains important to lube the area under the bolt head/nut as well to over come friction for the same reason.

You might want to find a new machine shop as it seems the one you used did not hot tank the block. If they would have there would be no paint left on the block to be removed with a wire brush. Most shops will shoot some wd 40 on the block to stop any rusting that will start on a totally clean block. All you do is wash off the oil and primer the block after which you can apply the color coat.

@MrChico809: Scat crank....hardened forging? Okay. Well, call a reputable crank grinder in your state. Why? "Everyone" gets the "forged pieces" But, very few get their shaft lightened by a competent crank grinder who could correctly remove about 20 ounces of material off that rotating mass. You are trying for increased torque with the longer stroke, but sacrificing combustion time( hang) at tdc with a shorter rod. Lighten your crank, shorten "wind up time" and lower your ET A hardened crank is expensive to have lightened though.[tooling costs] Ask about hardening -post grind. A high quality 6.125 inch rod with appropriate high silicon piston in a tight ring package will restore complete combustion[Especially with AFR alloy heads]2.05 int and titanium roller and a Jessell belt drive. A long stroke crank with a custom reduced base circle cam[rod bolt clearance] Lunati and Hank, etc have this stuff-$$$. 462 cu/inch 1st Gen mouse. My 2cents: Scat/Wiseco, Ebay parts.

@ayebee120710 жыл бұрын
Many people mention crush on the bearings.......And oil clearances. I am going to tell Ya-ll a little engine builder 'secret..............I buy dozens of quality tr-metal Clevite rod/main bearing sets,cams lifters, forged pistons sets. I measure all of them and hand fit selected parts from all the combined sets as sum total to the engine I am assembling. I do this for advantage of: slight manufacturer tolerance variations in mass production. I continue "mix and match" until they no longer meet my criteria. HINT [Some big name racing parts companies supply OEM too] And big name cam company's make 1000's of your favorite grinds ALL the time. I have an engine with precision fit. A quality hand assembled piece requiring minimal balancing and[with all machine work according to my spec] for RPM and application I am building it for. I do this for valve springs too. Straightness, seat pressure, installed height. Beware of E-bay listings of "new" engine rod/main bearing sets or forged brand-X-pistons Factory-sealed and unopened from manufacturer of engine parts, is much more meaningful compared to new" unused on Ebay. [On disassemble most newbies fail to remember which rod or main cap goes on what.]

In reply to Chevyman5436: And anyone else wishing to learn. The "Freeze plugs" are actually part of the engine block casting process from the sand mold This is where the molten iron is actually introduced and the "holes" are left over after casting. Solution: Drive a "welch" plug into it to seal the water jacket. If you wish you CAN run water in an engine: The downsides are: Water boils at 212 Fahrenheit. A mix of low mineral content water [distilled or deionized] and Glycol type low silica coolant increases the boiling point well above 212 and has additives to reduce corrosion. Frozen water DOES expand: Popping out the welch plugs because they ARE the weak point. If you have ever removed heads from an engine suffering extended abuse of no glycol coolant, expect the factory steel shim head gaskets to have rusted the heads and block together as a unit. Solution: Thor god of Thunder application with 4lb hammer and four foot length of 1-1/4" pipe. Just be very careful cursing the owner between hammer blows.
