lukEp Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well ive read a thread on here that the n/a crank and rods are the same at the late GT and Glanza's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 ok thanks.. need to go pick up my n/a engine from TD and drop off to mate....thats 2 things off the list... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 i tried to post here a second ago but my net is gay lol. all i was gonna say is if u go for a regrind then the shells will need to be supplied with the crank from whoever regrinds it. but if uv got a crank sorted then no matter . traders on here are good for parts but also try camskill as somethings are cheaper on there.

Russleh Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 all good parts mate. thats where i got my bearing etc from. id suggest giving tmd an email tho as my bearings had to be ordered in before they were sent to me so took a while to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitegv Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 i got a very good price from dave at tm developments for a list of bits i was wanting. worth giving him a pm to see? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Before ordering bearings get the crank inspected by an engineering firm. Even if you're using the FE one that is fine, get it polished from an engineers and ask them to check it out. 99.9% chance it will be fine as it came out of your perfect running 4EFE but it's always better to be safe imo. Once the condition of the crank is confirmed then order the Standard size bearings. If you're going to reuse the 4EFTE crank, get it reground then order the shells you need, ie. they may grind down to .25 so you need .25 oversize bearings. Your bearings including thrust washers should cost around £100, I paid £102 from Dave (TM-Developments iirc).I'd recommend new piston rings while it's open, and a new engine gasket set. Rings are £90 and the gasket set £125 (Camskill). As for the rods, why do you need new ones? I'd say stick with the others unless they are buggered?My best advice: DO NOT RUSH THIS!Don't aim to have it done by the end of the weekend, it's not going to happen so you'll be pissed off. If it does happen, it'll be rushed and you don't things like this. Strip the whole engine and clean everything up nicely over the weekend. Piston rings, rods, valves, cams, the whole lot. Use parafin and a several toothbrushes (10 for £1 @ Poundland) and get everything looking nice before it goes back together. Replace the valve stem seals too as they are included in the engine gasket set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ^ good advice, especially the poundland part . note only take the £1 or ul buy other shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
