UPDATE: 3.27.2008 - Scroll and check it.

This is my project thread... I have an engine's class in school where we learn how to do EVERYTHING to your engine.. I decided I'd take advantage of it and do a small build on a D16.

Right now is just the strip down.. Don't get back to class for 2 weeks. I think this is going to be the first Spring break that I actually want to end rather then keep going. lol

On to the project:













Does anyone know what this is?
It looked like a filter of some sort, but we couldn't figure out what it was and I didnt' feel like looking it up. lol
















This the color the Crank is supposed to be...



This is the color it was on Cylinder 1.





You can see metal scrap from the bearing on the crank here... Hopefully the crank is salvageable, but I doubt it will be.



Right now the engine is fully stripped... Didn't get any pictures of everything out, but I'll post more up after break... Sadly I won't be able to see the motor till after.

Holy need to change the oil more often, Batman. This looks like a fun project- and you'll get credit for it! Extra bonus for you!
That is part of your PCV system. For emissions and the like.

 

That's your oil breather box. It's part of the PCV system.

I bought the motor like this over the weekend. The guy said there was a knock in the motor so he swapped it out.

Luckly there isn't too much damage inside. With as much as that rod was knocking tho, I doubt the crank is salvageable, but we'll see what can happen.. If not, I'll just find a new one. lol

You both replied at the exact same time. lol

Thanks for the answers tho!

 

Damn if my school had a engine class I would get straight A's. I can do this **** with my eyes close.
Thumbs up to YOU!!

 

lol, it doesn't seem too hard yet.. I'm sure I could put it all back together right now and have it run the same it did when it was taken out, but the hole machining part is going to be interesting..

It shouldn't be too bad tho. I'm actually really excited to take off in it.

Only reason we have an engines class is because it's the Automotive Technology class... we have to know how to do this **** out in industry. lol I'm just taking advantage of the class right now.

 

that Y7 seen better days

 

yeah dude.. This thing got worked.

 

dont use that rod haha. the box from the pcv relieves crank case pressure. do some oil pump work if you plan to run it. use honda bond or whatever you can on the 2 10mm oil pick up nuts.

go NA and run dee p29s yo

 

what do you mean oil pump work?

lol, she's going to be boosted... Eff n/a. My buddy is building one of my D15's. He's thinking about going n/a with that, but I think he's changing his mind soon. (he's got money to spend... That's why he's keeping the d15 instead of going to a 16.)

 

d16y7 and 8 oil pumps aint no good, i always de-burr and work whatever i can with what app. they need if they go with a y bottom. if your boostin do it regardless or youll work for nothin soon. only rods for a d15 that i know of if 700$. he might as well save money and go for a 1.6 bottom end

 

lol, I know... I've told him, but he's going to either buy thos rods or get a D15B crank so he can use the TT rods.

What kind of work needs to be done to the oil pump tho for it to be okay?

 

basic de-burr and port. you dont want to hog it out, unless you need to

 

and that would be fine?

I think I'm going to get a new one anyways... My partner dropped it on the ground, and if they're faulty, I'm scared. lol

 

i wish my school offered that..

 

Looks like a cool project. What do you plan on doing with it?

 

what tech school is this? For anyone interested Southwest Wisconsin Technical College offers a program in Performance Engine Machining. I think it's the only one in the state of Wisconsin geared specifically towards engine machining and not just your basic automotive technology program like every other tech school in wisconsin.

 

id just go ahead and buy a z6 bottom end, and not have to bother with the y8 oil pump. im headin to a performance machinist school up in nashville when i turn 18.

 

^^ or not.. I already have this bottom end, why not use it? I'm sure it'll be fine if I take care of it... It's not like i'm going to be racing the car all the time. With an oil pressure gauge I should be fine. If it really is a problem I'll wire up a warning tone or something.

MATC in madison. The class is for stock engine rebuilding, but the teachers know what we're interested in. lol

 

this project looks like alot of fun...it makes me wish i would have went to tech school....

 

haha, yeah man.. this is the first time I've ever actually wanted spring break to be over so I could get back into it!!

Dude. Go back to school! lol. I know after I finish the automotive degree I'm going to go back in for something completely different. Being a technician really isn't something I want to do. Fun to know, not fun to apply. lol

My drink for the day...

...A huge screwdriver. lol







My first take at vtec.







Weapon of choice...







This was seriously amazing.. to actually get inside and see how vtec works. I thought it was really sweet!!



WARNING: Because of the graphic nature of the next 3 pictures, viewers beware. you have been warned... lol


look close..


Closer...


yeah... that used to be a bearing. that is NOT good....


Before...


... After!


...junk... I need a new one.



...and....






Finishing up the head tomorrow. Then measurements and I'll order the turbo stuff soon.

Comment.

 

good stuff!
i'm doing the same thing to a b18b but it's good to see that you're doing it in school and have all the tools and stuff you need

good luck

 

oh yeah dude!

They have EVERYTHING that we need too. It's sweet because everything on the motor will be done by my hands. I think that's cool. Kinda scary, but sweet. lol
