will it still be okay to use in my car? its on my ae86... blew the motor and i have an extra bottom end, but the walls are rusted.. the pistons still move freely, and i tried to use wd-40 for cleaning.. lemme know what u guys think.. this will only be temporary.. thanks guys.. just remember.. im a true honda addict at heart..

off topic: my sexy girlfriend wants to know what u guys think of abercrombie clothing line..

 

For a motor thats been sitting a while and has rusted walls, I'd personally remove the pistons and rods and re-hone the cylinder walls. After this if rust is still present you'll need to have the block bored 25 or 50 over. If you re-hone it, or even use some scotchbrite to get the surface rust off and it gets rid of 100% of it, all you should have to do is re-ring the pistons.

Good luck

 

Bore and hone, give it a nice crosshatch, and if you bore it large enough out of stock piston spec, new pistons and rings, re-break in the motor so the rings seat, and you'll have a new cyl.

 

it's been sitting for like 2 months.. would it be okay to run for a while.. i have a year warranty on the other motor, but i dont have time and a ride to take it to seattle to pick up the other motor.. this will be temporary.. i mean like a month at the most.. the only question im asking is will it be okay to run for a month? if yes then cool, if no then what will happen if i do run it?

 

anyone?

 

just depends on how much of the cyl. wall is rusted. Is it a light surface rust? If so, the red scotch brite pad would work good. I just put together a motor for a gsxr 600 and it had a light surface rust. I didn't touch it, it fired right up and runs fine. Check it out. If your rings aren't extremely tight in the cyl. it will basically clean itself up, not the healthiest, but will work.

 

If all you are gonna do is run for a couple of months no problem. Slap it in and run it it will be fine.

 

cool.. thanks guys.. now my gf wants to know about abercrombie....

 

hone it and clean it up to be safe

 

Not being able to add anything to the important discussion, that being the engine, ill lend my thoughts on the abercrombie question. In my opinion abercrombie is way over priced. Plus why pay more money for clothes that look like they came off a homeless guy. Buy the cheaper clothes and blow the rest on cars. thats the way to do it.
but hey just my 2 cents on the matter.

 

perhaps you should post up pix of yur sexy GF in some nice skimpy abercrombie stuff so we can make our decision?

 

bump for that idea

 

u guys are perverts

abercrombie is like golf - overpriced, worthless, and for rich snobs. they're such a superficial company that they don't hire ugly people, and when they do, they make them work in warehouses. i pretty much wanna stab everyone who wears abercrombie.
