so me and a friend for our senior project were starting a partnership business called super duper motors.lol and we are rebuilding old warn out or blown up motors then selling them but im not really expierenced with putting motors together but i am wanting to learn so i thought i would ask for some tips on stuff to do while putting these motors back together pretty much just doing b series motors. thanks

 

no tips on putting these motors back together?

Ditto the above^^^

There are 1000s of "tips".

Starting a business doing something you know nothing about is probably not a good idea, so what kind of "tips" would we give you.

Tip #1 Take an automotive, [mechanical] coarse.
Tip #2 Maybe start a business about something you do know something about.


However if you stick with it, GL. 94

 

im a high school student starting a buiseness for a project. im not actually starting a real business. and i can put a motor together. i just thought maybe you guys had some pointers on these honda motors cause i have never put a honda together

 

Are you going to compression test or leakdown these motors before you rebuild them? And if you do, would you know the threshold between "good & bad"? Or if you take the head off one of these B16s, are you going to know if it needs a re-bore, re-hone, or new sleeves? How do the valves and seats look? Do the main or rod bearings indicate somethings out of round? And if so, what would you do next?

The above are just examples of why you'd need experience to do this *right* and a couple internet pointers aren't going to get you there. Only experience will. If you're serious, my advice would be to buy a repair manual and a $100 D-series, take it apart, put it back together, and see if you even like engine work... it's not for everybody.

 

Do you have all the tools you need? micrometers, dial bore gauges, valve springs compressors? Taking an engine apart, determining what machine work and parts it needs, and putting it back together correctly is not something you can just do on a whim, especially if you plan on selling the engines to people. I think you should find a different project.

 

so rite now i have a b16a short block that the valve dropped on toasted a piston and put some nicks in the cylinder. i have a friend that works in the napa machine shop so i picked up some b16b 82mm pistons and he is boring it to 82mm and i had him mike the crank and the crank was fine to run standard size bearings. and i could tear a motor apart and determine what machine it needs and i do have a caliper to measure bores but i would probably just take it to my friend to have all the measurements taken and i do have all the neccesary tools to be tearing these motors apart and putting these back together and we have a solvent take to make sure everything is cleaned. its not like im just another kid that watched fast and the furious and think i know how to work on a car. trust me i know those kids. i know what it takes to put a motor back together RITE and make sure everything is done legit
