hold the 19 steady and try to move the 14 otherwise it might bend snap !!!

its a 14mm and 19mm spanne u need if it wont budge put a vice grips on the 14 to get more leverige it will loosen

socks mate how much boost u gonna run on the stock unforged block ??

how long have you been tigging mark looks good to me keep up the d.i.y. stuff i like

that link is blank mark

i have only rebuild around 35 of them over the years and on a good few i deffo see the friction wear marks on them as discoloration so was curious and checked them with my digital gauge and it was fractionally thinner where the discoloration is compared to the edge where the 2 bearings cup half meet so me thinking wear down ? thats great that tha is your job next time i have a tehnical Q i can pm u :) i only learned it by doing it at home

nothing beets a non pas rack on feedback think u guys need to train those little arms more

nice ride seeing your new stay away from a FCD

hmmmmmm must try that on a old 4efe engine see how that goes just replace bearings and test it to me the oil isnt always there because if it was bearings would not wear down ??? and they do over time for sure friction wear im always more woried to damage a bearing then my rings when bedding in a engine ha ha

i personally doubt that so next time a bottom end goes just fit new crank and bearings and rev the shit out of it ???? it would seize for sure the bearings will fail

so you think conrod and mains dont need running in ????

^^^ it will bite u in the ass 1 day

i think that engine is going to have shit idle :) she deserves a high limiter indeed :)

simple yes it does benefit the les back pressure the better for your/our engine peeps dont seem to realise that our E series engines dont have a block vent !!!! like others do have for a very good reason

did you read the link you posted ??? it clearly states it there its got to do with the honing of the blocks its way finer honed on the new engines so have to be bed in fast and hardto settle rings our blocks are course honed so low and slow ha ha think im getting something going ere ha ha

who need these when steelies will do just fine

your right but the hard fast way is for modern engines ONLY !!!!!! so guys on our old engines nice and slow ha ha

should not do that while driving to much stress on the new parts kid !!! supposed to do it when fresh build on first start wait til hot then rufly 10 hard blips to 5k or so to settle rings yes 3000rpm for 1st 1000km then slowly start building rpm to 5000rpm to 2000km the next 500km unleash the limiter sometimes if wanted but dont hit the actual limiter thats the old style of settling engines works very wel indeed :)

you have to dial them in with a tru dial gauge to see your tru settings as your saying that its 1 tooth out thats a lot !!! might be wort using adjustable cam gear and a dial gauge to get close

u running 45 psi :) u only need 34psi for 0.8 bar boost !!!!!!

easly solved take of in 3rd :) sounds like fucked syncs to me quick rebuild time could try if the selector tube ( sugar cube ) is worn rotate is 90 degree so sloppines goes away

3000 for the 1st 1000km then start increasing revs slowly but i hope you revved your engine hard when just build ????? to settle the rings if not bores can be glazed back up !!!!!

i disagree tuning parts for starlets have an icreased percentage to them for sure !!!

but no they belong to starlet so now 400 ha ha

also a deep socket will prove much better and less stress on it !!!!!
