Looks like you need new main caps or just get another short block.

 

Daayyyum!

Your girl is hot.

 

I have 98+ main caps you want em?

 

free!?

 

My friend did te same thing, but he can't get the washer, crank and the main separated.

 

What were the symptoms?

 

no!

 

"I" personally...think it was due to not using balancershafts. This block had seen some major boost in its days.

 

hahaha hey i didnt see the word buy anywhere??? anyways i prob would but the top of the crank on the block looks just as bad if not worse than the bearing caps...so the block is trash ...along with crank.. now if you had a crank that would be something i would be interested in.

 

I have a knife-edged one I am not using....

So you think disconnecting the balance shafts did it? How long have you had them off?

 

when the bottom was built they were removed, the block has a little over 1,000 on it


you make a deal on that crank with me? Hey I also noticed you make the C/F truck for 5th gen ...how about a 4th?

 

no 4th yet. Make me an offer on the crank. H22A1 block right?

1,000 miles couldn't you attribute that to assembly? What is involved in making sure the thrust washers stay in?

 

it might have been assembly?? But this is only my second block to build and this didnt happen to my other block(with bal.). I can be wrong tho I was just assuming. Im trying to figure out why my bearings are worn to a sharp edge on the sides point to the timing belt side? All of them...

O yeah I need a h23 crank.....

 

Well not really you can go with H22a crank and rods with the pistons you have...anyways...CR will drop too!

Do the pics detail this? if the thrust washers are gone you would think all the bearings would wear the exact same way from the crank moving

you should be able to see the edges on the right side from the pics....i know that the bearings would all wear the same but just thought it was weird how they all sharpend to one side?..like there was more weight being put down on one side than the other. You know of any other sleeved blocks being sold anywhere? other than that one?

 

i doubt its cause of the balancer shafts.... i have had the shafts disabled in my f22b for about 6k miles now with no aperant problems....

but damn that sux about the thrust washers... did you plug the oil holes for the balancers? the only way the thrust washers would spin was either puttin em wrong ???? or a sever lack of oil.

 

no clue..yes they were pluged ?? im tired of looking for a new block...i miss my car. I really wanna get around having to send in another block. Would be nice if i could find one already sleeved for me.

 

damn only 1000 miles.. and u were boosting hard? we like to break them in for 1000 miles.

 

haha well the way i was tought "SON, run it like your gonna run it!" if your gonna run it hard break it in hard
