didn't know almost nothing 😂 double negative man

[@roninracing2915]

I'm building a race engine myself and I'm enjoying all the tips and stuff for b series. But the torquing sequence on the mains. If the torque wrench clicks as soon as you start pulling on it you need to back it off and get it to turn and click all in one motion. Static friction is always greater than kinetic friction, so if it clicks immediately you're registering the amount of static friction instead of kinetic friction and you need to back the bolt off a little and kind of start over. If you address the at a later time or you've learned about this since the time I commented just ignore me. It's 3 am and I'm a semi-drunk engineer. Aside from that, awesome video. Please let me know if you want some gnarly carbon fiber parts for any of your cars as I'm trying to start a custom carbon aero company and I love to work with other racers that give a shit about the community and stuff.

[@grahamforan3898]

Hey love this series , just a future note , next time you assemble pistons and Con-rods weigh each of the pistons and con rods and pair the heaviest piston to the lightest Con-rod and the lightest piston to the heaviest con-rod etc. it will insure that the engine is as balanced as possible

[@peterwilliams6587]

Just found this channel last night and I love the honesty, the detailed explanations and everything. Just a tip tho, you when taking off main caps just leave the bolts in after you loosen them and just use a mallet to hit it free. Its easier for me. Just a tip tho

[@WhiteBoyRyan]

All of this is getting me hype for the next car I’m going to build. Man man man. I can’t wait Love the videos bro

[@SPTuning]

Thanks man!! We love to motivate yall and comments like yours motivates me back!!

[@Wack_to_wac]

Always wanted to learn how to build. Yall make it so simple and understandable. You are very informative and make it easy to remember. Great vids!

[@nelsonvelasco5822]

Great video man!!! A lot of videos are missing ALL THE DETAILS you show in this build. Subscribed and I’ll be watching your videos on my EK build!!

[@SPTuning]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@shadowrunner3k94]

Thanks for this! I recently purchased a project car and the motor burns oil...i planned on just doing a swap but after watching this i feel pretty confident in just doing the rebuild myself and saving myself alotta $$$! Subbed!

[@EnderAlexander]

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing more. Im hoping to build my own honda project car soon. An EG civic with a turbo; have plenty to learn on how to build an engine which ive always wanted to do. I have an r34 gtr but will not risk working on that in case i mess something up. I loved the fact that Honda's have such a vast aftermarket and parts selection and everything has been tested to breaking point. Keep up the cool content. Regards from Australia

[@SPTuning]

Thansk for the support, and awesome cara youve got ! For sure build the civic! And the r34 is one of my favorite cars.

[@Indicafatbud]

i work on my car in flipflops too brah, good to see another honda flipper! hahaha

[@89hybrid88]

Lol building motors in flip flops 😎😎 nice job man.

[@SPTuning]

It was comfy 😎😎 ahahaha thanks !

[@dominic123212321]

Although I don't plan on doing such a build due to the 'tegra being my only daily, these videos are down to detail and very informative. Keep up the mint content dude.

[@s2kid179]

Guys are doing it right 💪🏼

[@SPTuning]

😎😎Thanks for the support 💪💪

[@mikemiller0625]

Dope shit bro I subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more

[@SPTuning]

Thanks man!

[@joserotary9636]

Real good info and great explanation on your videos keep it up, awesome 💯👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@Nopalesgarage]

Great video dude ! Just subscribed n im already loving it! keep on the great content !!

[@SPTuning]

Thanks man ! Happy to keep pumping out the videos !!

[@Hello_its_me_mario]

Best instructional video ever. Keep it up.

[@ElReySupr3me]

This is a great step by step

[@WesleyVantHull]

wonderful set of videos. can learn a lot from them and you put them together in a nice timely fashion

[@massivestreetz5642]

great video bro.. detailed and well put together

[@SPTuning]

Thank you !!

[@Tim_Baleia]

Very nice tip on how to remember intake and exhaust valves )

[@SPTuning]

Thank you 👌

[@ghosteh6503]

Almost there man. Keep it up.

[@SPTuning]

Thanks 💪💪 imma keep the videos coming. Stay tuned!

[@FreddyDUZ747]

Those marks in the walls after the oil pump failure could also be the lack of torque plate honing and head stud fitment.Youd be surprised how much the cylinder goes out of round once studs are fitted.

[@TheBLDZRR]

Loving this man :) can't wait to finish my boosted b18b1 eg it's super close! Would like to build an lsvtec for next year

[@rico4260]

I stopped watching once I saw flip flops 😂😂.. lol jk but really tho very informative everything you did was perfect! Great video. Thumbz up 👍🏽!

[@tegnando2697]

Ayeee papii awesome video dude ya boy TEGNANDO in tha house lol

[@SPTuning]

Tegnandooo!!!

[@luciferlight5082]

I was watching the video and at 16:50 I was looking at the rod bearing and a could see a hole that went to bare metal and it seemed strange to me like it should of been an oil Channel or something . Not sure but I'm going to rebuild a b series engine later this year

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

Ideally you should oil the ring compressor too and leave the skirts of the piston exposed

[@joshgomez7522]

Is it me or is does this sound satisfying 22:24

[@francoinocencia604]

Awsome stuff!! Greets from Aruba!!

[@SPTuning]

Thank you!!

[@brado783]

Yo your videos are awesome bro. Very informative and you have such a good way of explaining and showing things. I was planning on. Getting an Integra probably post 94-95, and was planning on boosting it to make around 300-350hp at Max. Do you think taking the entire engine our and building it how you are is necessary ? If not what is the extent of things j should do to it ? Thanks.

[@zacotis2550]

Last time I checked the larger valves ( and the larger reliefs) are exhaust. You’ve got it twisted when combustion happens the fuel burns and the expanding gases are what drive the piston down - I.e. MORE gasses are being released during the exhaust stroke. It’s an explosion not an implosion, and as a result the larger valves are exhaust. Because they have to flow more freely than the intake plenums. I may be wrong maybe the intake valves have more lift requiring more relief but I’m pretty certain you’re the only doing the pistons backwards. Which also isn’t good they’re not perfect circles. Was the scoring primarily on the intake side?

[@SPTuning]

I dont mean to be rude, but intake is larger. Look it up

[@zacotis2550]

SP Tuning it is larger but your analogy threw me for a loop. It’s dead opposite of what actually happens. Exhaust is larger volume (again expansion) but cylinder pressure from the upward exhaust stroke primarily force the gasses out. They’re smaller because it’s more beneficial to put that volume towards intake where air is not normally pressurized

[@SPTuning]

Okay, youre over thinkinng my analogy. Heres my analogy: Intake : air and fuel (two things) Exhaust: burnt air (one thing) Simple analogy. Dont over think it

[@blind1284]

SP Tuning the larger valves will ALWAYS be the intake side. ALWAYS.

[@carlosnanez8454]

Ackchyually is harder to suck air in to the combusiton chamber than to push it out thru exhaust cycle, also the air/fuel mix is still expanding at the end of the same cycle, so it finds its way out through the exhaust valve more easily than fresh air entering thru the intake

[@projectcarsmodz1775]

Damn Papi you know you a true gansta when you bust out the chancleta (AKA Spanish Mom's favorite weapon of choice) to do the engine build. I am enjoying this engine build, how much did you pay for the Kings Bearings and where did you get them?

[@SPTuning]

Lol thanks man. I think i a bit over 100 on ebay. Buy from an authorizied dealer

[@survival2324]

I just bought a b18c1 swap. Expensive. They didn’t upgrade the camshaft. They said the build was for 550-600hp. Will see. Put it on a 2000 civic si with 44k original miles. Will see if it was a good option.

[@torquise518]

do u remember the bore of your pistons?

[@jamescourtney6404]

For future reference it’s called a bearing tang not dowel. 👍🏻

[@SPTuning]

Thanks ! Second person to tell me now lol I appreciate the chance to keep learning 💪 bearing tang it is!

[@jamescourtney6404]

SP Tuning no problem good luck on the build.

[@ShaunHensley]

It appears to be an anti rotation ‘tang’ (which also explains why Honda specifies which side to place them on) dowels are location devices.

[@Anthony-vr3um]

Nice video I just finished my build today. You should explain how you will do your break in

[@SPTuning]

Sure thing will do!

[@skizzzurp]

so is the purpose of grinding the piston rings to make them all the same size? or do all the tops have to be the same and all the bottoms the same? Or what? I also didn't understand the (plasti gauging?) process?

[@Mattwallable]

The "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water displacing" so it's not actually a lubricant, if you didn't know.

[@Alani.W]

Your method of pushing pistons before the crank shaft is in its 100% safe because there is nothing will interfering with the piston rods when you push the piston in so in this case there is a small chance of braking piston rings while pushing piston but some times when you put the crank in the crank won’t spin freely because of a lot factor like Machine shop mistake they still human and the make mistakes in measurement some times so in your case you can’t verify if the crank will spin without Biting in main bearing because you piston rods will interfering with the crank so what I do I make sure the crank is in first I spin it with hand force if it is Smooth spin I go and push pistons in ...

[@ImAlrightITHINK]

Did the rods come assembled with the bearings in them already?

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

Is Plastigage also available in millimeters???

[@chadkimble7456]

I'm using total seal rings will this clocking method work with those rings

[@jasonlinton4655]

your piston wall to cylinder clearance what is it set at? and crank shaft end play did you measure that and what was it

[@BWT7210]

Jason Linton I want to know that too...

[@brettmurphy11]

Wiseco highly recommends using upgraded wrist pins with anything over 500hp just a heads up.

[@SPTuning]

Ah okay. Didnt know that! Thansk for the info will keep that in mind

[@brettmurphy11]

SP Tuning no problem! Hate to see a build go to waste over something simple. Had wiseco's myself and ended up switching to CP with upgraded pins in them as well. It's cheap insurance!

[@vincentpoon6999]

Shouldn't the piston and rods be assigned to each cylinder during the machining process to have the clearances set?

[@SPTuning]

Yessir. Im pretty sure i included that in this video that each piston assembly with corresponding rods number (1-4) goes to said cylinder (1-4)

[@guydevries8197]

What compression ratio are you using? I have wiseco pistons (K673M81AP) think its ment to be 8.5 will it still run ok using a standard b18b1 basemap or what are the main things i should change in smanager for the lower compression ratio?

[@Limeayy]

I have a question man, so you torque your mains and rod caps to what specification if you use plastigage? Ex: use half spec because stock motors have TTY bolts? How do you go about that

[@SPTuning]

I use stock honda spec for the mains, and whatever your SPECIFIC manufacturer of the rods specifies

[@Limeayy]

Okay, well now i have another question, i don't know if i missed this info but you do a very good detail work on explaining things through but did you use TTY bolts or aftermarket ARP bolts or something? Also, if they are TTY bolts, that should be only 1 use. So how would i go about that? Reuse the old bolts to check plastigage to see if in spec then replace the bolts and carry on the assembly with engine?

[@ShaunHensley]

Lime This is actually a good question. But what can a builder realistically do? Maybe use old hardware for clearance check and new hardware for final assembly

[@rellatv__4936]

Would help for my impala 10th gen?

[@gsrhatch14]

So what if the clearances are off? What do you do? Great videos just subbed!

[@SPTuning]

Thanks for the support! If clearances are off , theres a few things you can , but your safest and best bet would be take to a machine shop and let them do the necessary machining work to get everything into spec. From that point on your probably be told by the machinist to run a different engine bearing. Instead of a “standard size “ youll need a +/- sized bearing

[@notone4029]

Great engine building videos. But brake cleaner kills mad brain cells especially in a closed environment. Not wearing gloves 🧤 and bathing your hands in it not recommended for your liver etc. jus saying.

[@SPTuning]

Very true ! For most of part 3 video i hd gloves on, but youre right ! Ill make sure to note those things for my personal learning curve. Thank you for the kind words and good tips 💪! Keep learning everyday

[@notone4029]

Cool. Anytime . Yessir

[@ElReySupr3me]

Not One damn i did not know that. Good to know.

[@notone4029]

I’m O.G. Honda guy still Am and mechanic but I can’t get down with chemicals,fumes and what not. When working with I use rubber gloves and a respirator. To each their own

[@pristineo]

@@SPTuning i know this is old but my girlfriend got super messed up from break cleaner before, she missed school for 3 days after she accidentally inhaled some. she was bed-ridden for the first day or so

[@ItzKevN]

Do you lube under the bearings or just on top?

[@SPTuning]

Under and on top

[@toddbentley5416]

If you lube under the bearing you run the risk of the bearing spinning in the block, especially under heavy loads. The notch in the bearing can help prevent this, but with a heavily modified motor it isn't hard to spin a bearing if it's sitting on oil

[@SPTuning]

Great explanation ^^! I think i wordered my response wrong , im sorry, just lube where the journal will sit. Not on the block itself

[@pl3pl3]

Nice how to man keep up the good work shit like this would of helped on my first build

[@SPTuning]

Thansk for the support bud

[@boostedunrivaledteg]

Let me say your videos have been very helpful, I'm feeling confident that I can handle my own rebuild myself. I do have a few questions though. My b18b bottom end is already bored out to 81.5, eagle rods, je srp pistons and stock crank. Well she started to develop a very small knock. In my case would I need to strip it down and send the block and crank to the machine shop and have it rehoned and have the crank polished and just re ring and put on a fresh set of bearings , or do I buy 82mm pistons and new rods and take all that to the machine shop? If I do that what do I tell them to do. I want to do the assembly myself just need to know what I'm supposed to tell the shop. thanks again definitely subscribed

[@cleangenJZ]

Are those shop flip flops? Can I get them from cintas?

[@Tec-fv2xb]

Thank u so much for ur videos. Great info

[@SPTuning]

Thanks for the support ! More videos coming soon. Stay tuned!

[@keanucopp9680]

What should the plasti-gauge measurement be to be within spec with Honda?

[@dustinninja2803]

Did you buy an eBay kit that had rods and pistons?

[@iridebmx533]

Good video man, so plasti gauging the crank is to just insure the crank and bearing tolerances are within spec correct? Say you ran into them being out of spec what step would you take? I'm building my own LS vtec

[@SPTuning]

If it close you can micropolish the crank and get it a little looser. If not re grind crank and get over sized bearings if im not mistaken, but at that point that type of things is better left to a machine shop which has the machines , tools, and engine all at once to fix the issue in one process

[@danieldelphi6021]

Where do i get all the parts list, part manufactures names etc? For this build

[@bensmith5701]

Loved the video :)

[@branw341]

How's no gap rings work with this setup ;)

[@10Gauge]

According to your sheet your compression rings should be 180* from each other along the center line of the piston, not angled up ~45* like you set them. Not that it really matters.

[@christopherarellano5975]

How much did this build cost you?

[@ronniejohnson3781]

Anybody hear the civic in the background doing a pull when he put the first c clip in the first piston lolol

[@SPTuning]

Whaaatt! Musta missed it ahhaa imma check it out

[@rhysbertrand8903]

streetracing plug bruh he was doing pulls on bottom piston ring too lmao

[@nuclearbeige3038]

I'm sure brake clean is really good for paint jobs...

[@westcoast443]

Did u order the std bearing kit?

[@SPTuning]

Yes std size from king bearings

[@westcoast443]

SP Tuning ..how u got them to fit? They all the same size...is like asking the company for brown or green Honda bearing color....correct me if I'm wrong bro...lol good job tho👌✌

[@SPTuning]

The company will sell the bearing with “standard” or +/- specs listed in the description and will say on the side of each box. What do you mean by how did i get them to fit, sorry dont understand that, but thank you for the positibe comment!

[@westcoast443]

SP Tuning ...u just answer my question bro...thanks👍👍

[@SPTuning]

Sweet ! Glad i could help💪💪😎

[@anthonypedroza9016]

I’m planing to buy a integra 92 or 95 want a nice engine that will hold 500 hp max can u do it for me if I shop it name a price?

[@BWT7210]

Is the block sleeved..?

[@SPTuning]

Css

[@BWT7210]

SP Tuning sorry I’m new to the Chanel

[@SPTuning]

All good! Hope you like what you see

[@BWT7210]

SP Tuning hell yea I do, I’m rebuilding my B18C1 at the moment and your vids are a big help...

[@SPTuning]

Thanks man 💪 happy to help. Make sure you havr the right torques specs. Sometimes they vary throughout the different blocks

[@isaactedrow3087]

It’s crazy how much the engine relies on those flimsy ass piston rings

[@johnramos8424]

like the videos! i just did not like seen that brake cleaner hitting your front bumper! that is like paint remover lol

[@SPTuning]

Very true! Lol note to self, steer clear of car paint lol

[@VACHONSPARTA]

If you liked it then you shoulda 4:04

[@samtheman7043]

Yes papi! No homo 😂

[@Antman272]

Way better than Motor Nubs

Whats motor nubs?

[@YostBuilt]

papi engine builds

[@SPTuning]

Papi we out here

[@zackmcshane8397]

Lol mate u definitely don’t need that much assembly lube 😅

[@danielbargas3377]

Un studded mains and not even the aftermarket girdle😬😬 crank walk supreme

[@suplimentedietaexercitinut8578]

Hi how much whas all parts in money please o lista with every part and money please thank you

[@SPTuning]

Ill try to get a full list soon. I dont even know myself how much everythig has been lol but i will make a video in the near future with everything listed

[@jackemarleeyoung]

FLO MIR you should do the build price list yourself. His end price may/will be different compared to someone else’s build.

[@ShaunHensley]

Jackemarlee Young it’s useful to get a ballpark amount to determine roughly what you’re looking at before you even begin to price and gather parts

[@nuclearbeige3038]

You aren't saying it correctly it's not wd40 it's doubbleya Dee faurty love me that stuff!

[@sohcturbo]

There called tangs, not notches. Good job though.

[@SPTuning]

Ah i see. Good to know ! I learn everyday. Thank you !

[@ComptonUnhh]

Wondering why I never see these youtube builders check their main and rod clearances with plastigage, you're the first I've seen actually do it, are most of you all that confident that your bearings are sized properly and that you aren't in need of a line hone? Also, maybe not the best to be doing these jobs wearing open toe sandals, one piston dropping and you might lose a few toes.

[@bamalowbloodrich3581]

How the fuck are you getting 800 hp from 4 cylinders it blows my mind.

[@williamta9408]

Great video. Way too many commercials

[@jasonpettaway7905]

awesome vid bro but cut the talking more and just time laps than talking but great vid

[@SPTuning]

Ill keep that in mind for future videos lol thanks for the support!

[@rhysbertrand8903]

SP Tuning please don’t take that into mind it’s a step by step build not a here’s my built car video. If people wanna time lapse I they can just hit the fast forward button and skip through

[@ShaunHensley]

SP Tuning Yeah don’t change lol

[@austenevans6867]

You should be wearig gloves cause skin oil is a contaminant

[@jasonlinton4655]

what

[@jimhiscott2918]

I am going to go to everyone's shop on the planet I steel there 1960's cheap ass piece of shit ring compressor like you see in this video, after I steel it I will kindly replace it with a tapered ring compressor like Weisco and Arp sales! GET ONE PLEASE!

[@edgarmejia6200]

La fea 😂

[@rcdrager]

Does eat ring gap change based on its piston? Like was your gap different from piston 1-2?

[@SPTuning]

Changes based on the cylinder. All the pistons will be the same, but rings will be specific to the specific cylinder

[@rcdrager]

So for example. I'm looking to run 16 thousands on cylinder 1 & 4 but what would be the best for 2 & 3?

[@SPTuning]

Also 16 thousands. Sorry, i think ur misunderstanding. You want gap to be the same across the board, but you need to file piston ring 1 for cylinder 1. Once you did that you file 2 for cylinder 2 etc. they will all come to thw same gap. Lets say cylinder 1 is 81.5mm on the dot, but cylinder 2 is 81.525 mm (random numbers for refrence) cylinder 2 and 1 will need the rings filed a different amount to both reach that 16 thousandths. You know what i mean?

[@rcdrager]

I got you! I appreciate it my man! Keep up the videos! Very informative! I hope to get a following like you soon! ✊

[@SPTuning]

Thank you for the support!!
