I am about to assemble my block from bare crank. I have rebuilt it before but never had the crank out. I was wondering what sort of special things do I need to watch for or what special things do I need that I wouldn't have used before? Any sealants or adheasives. I thank you ahead of time for any input.

 

well I recently read through a VERY thorough LS/CR-VTEC engine assembly how-to, from beginning to end, from bare crank to fully assembled. But I can't seem to find it at the moment. I don't think I posted in it so it's not in my subscribed topics list.

It should help you out alot if I can find it, even though you may or may not be doing an LS/VTEC build. Most of the procedures shown would still apply to the assembly of most engines.

 

Yeah. That sounds like it would help a lot. Please post up if you are able to find it. In the meantime I will do some searching myself for it. Thanks again

 

Just buy a basic engine building book. Something like this

And then get a HONDA service manual for the engine you are working on with all the TQ specs you and proper TQ'ing sequences you will need.

 

helms manuel is awesome

 

Use engine assembly lube on the crank bearings and rod bearings, torque everything right

 

Here you go with you tube videos and all...

Ah ha!! Here it is in the All Motor forum. I only looked through the guy's initial posts, but there are hundreds more to read through.
