ok first off i searched for a awile and couldn't find anything that helped.


ok here is the problem i have to b18b1 bottom ends. one started knocking so i took it out of the car.(5 mins total runtime oil light came on when i was parking it).
other motor has a broken drivers side mount the aluminum is not fixable but the internals are like 5,000 miles on new bearings and rings. question is if i swap all of the bearings and crank etc everything would it be ok?? i noticed the block codes in the top are differant the first is ccdcc (good internals) the other was bcdcb (bad internals). so do you think i would be okay to try this i just honed the one block and it is perfectly in specs and ready to swap over im hoping i can do this because i am broke as hell right now and need this car to run????

any comments or suggestions would be greatly appericatied.
thanks

 

swap it but i wouldnt try using the same bearings.

 

just the main bearings is what i am worried about... the rod bearings are going to be okay do to the fact its the same crank..

what if i took the main bearings out of the bad motor and used them on the good crank.. this motor is not going to be perfect i no this.. i just want the dam thing to run for a month or so...

 

all blocks arent the same and all cranks arent the same. you may luck up and be able to use the same bearings. plastigauge everything when your putting it together. gl

 

lol i just said expletive it and put them in it. i mean worst that happens is i blew up a free motor. plus it had acl standard bearings in it. plus i dont understand how acl sells bearings the same size anyway??? i mean you cant order them like honda ones.. for differant sizes.

 

Well for anyone who cares it runs good in the car now and it is ls-turbo. suprizeingly it is spinning third and runs really srong. my 18.00 dollar motor in my car. that was the price of oil and a filter. reused head gasket rings oil pan gasket i could not afford a thermostat and gasket so i rtv the housing to gether. if you include the rtv i guess it was like 23 or so dollars. O well i will try to run it if anyone wants to no the times on it?? now i got to come up with 80 bux for new tags plus insurence money!!
