Rebuilding the engine - what parts to use?
So as i scrambeled some money together i figure its time to do some research and finnaly get to rebuilding my engine. Its broken (i suspect due to oil deprivation in the con-rod bearings, or because the rods "sat" on the crankshaft pins.). Anyway the engine needs rebuilding. Its a blutetop,bigport,tvis,map,3rib.
So now what exactly do i need to do, how to do it, what to be careful about and where to get the requred parts the cheapest (or what brand) yet still reliable. Here is what i think: - 4 new conrod bearings - 5 new main bearings - new bolts right? what kind? - new "semerings" (dont know how thats called - the brackets that hold the oil in ) - polishing the crankshaft - new gaskets (oilpan, exhaust, intake) - check whats up with the oil pump, replace if neccessary - new timing belt (just in case) - new spark plugs, filters, oil - a bloody VDO oil pressure gauge So how do i know which bearings to use? Should i have the crankshaft measured after its been polished and choose acordingly, or should i set a size and have the crank polished/grinded to that spec? The other thing im wondering about is should i also overhaul the upper part (not the head) - but honing the cylinders and getting new rings - eventhough its working just fine? Thanks in advance. Hopefully ill get to drive my baby soon. |
