LOL thanks for the video. It was very helpful and informative. I think I’m going with a Toyota next time . didn’t realize about turbo engines in the high pressures they put on the engine The small ones.
Hey, since you’ve replaced pistons you know what the bottom end looks like. Are there individual main caps or is there a girdle, for the lack of a better term, that is bolted up to the engine block to for holding the crank in? Seems the bottom is what is really important to making decent power. Just curious as to how strong the bottom end is and if it has main caps or a girdle. Great video btw.
1-4 90 psi, 162 psi, 124 psi, 178 psi I had the head off before doing this. The pistons looked fine and the cylinder walls looked great. I thought head gasket but later found turbo exploded from cylinder 1 not creating vacuum to let the waste gate open.
Hello, I just compression tested my replacement engine warm and got the following results 205psi 207psi 180psi 210psi Do you think its worth tearing it apart?
I’m working on the cylinder head install video now and right behind that is an in depth how to for setting and locking the timing. Should be plenty of content to reference if you run into any issues.
Dear friend , i want ti ask a question , do you know that max how many hp can orginal pistons and rods of a14net durable? Alsa my car has automatic transmisson i think that is 6t40 .
Don't use grease on anything that touches the rings. It's too thick and can hydraulically break the rings/lands. Even assembly lube isn't really recommended, but grease is definitely dangerous. Assembly lube is good for everywhere but the rings. Good video, and looking forward to more. I'm going to big turbo my Cruze after I get my truck built so this is interesting for sure
Thank you for your feedback, it’s very much appreciated. Point taken, So no grease on any two points of contact where oil is required during normal operation...would this be safe to say...?
@@Klean-Kut-LLC basically yes. As an engine builder, we use assembly lube on everything except the cylinders and rings, where we use whatever oil will be used to break the engine in. We only use grease on the seals. Valve stem and front/rear mains.
@@Klean-Kut-LLC the problem with grease is it doesn't blend correctly with oil, so when the engine starts it doesn't have anywhere to go, along with not letting the fresh oil in
I've always used ATF for the pistons/rings and cylinder walls. Assembly lube for everything else, and grease only for seals... and even then only a "shiny" glaze.. not coating it like it was RTV.
Great footage. Very entertaining

That was cool and old school no engine removal here

Im having blue smoke coming in do you think i need to change the piston rings
I'm actually thinking about getting some bnr forged pistons. Thanks !
No problem man, it’s a pretty straight forward install. Let me know if you need any other info for the install if you do decide to get them!

Any updates on this?
How did you find the crack?
hi did you put big turbo
