Motor: 1995 GS-R
First, the reason for the rebuild was due to a knock sound, however it wasn't your typical rod knock. Sounded a lot lighter. I took it up to Sacramento for the day and came back that night. Took off the next day while driving to a friend's house and about 5 miles later I hear a loud ticking sound. Being paranoid as usual, I pulled over and checked my cam sprockets due from 6 months prior I had a ticking sound that almost sounded the same as it did(which that time, the sprocket's woodruff key was shaved and the bolt wasn't tight) but this time, didn't look like it was catching the valve cover. I drive it back home and parked it for about a month.
Basically, it was parked for awhile and then I said I was going to rip the damn thing apart... well... 6 months after I said that, this is where we are. It took awhile since I like to go out and get hammered and socialize. What can I say? I'm a self-proclaimed Socialite. Fuck it.
P.S. - Makes sense when you read this part.
I bought this car with the intention that it was in decent shape. Oh yeah, it's in decent shape alright.. if we're talking about the body. The motor was half-ass'd after pulling it apart. ...it gets even better. Stay tuned for the dirtiest stock rebuild CI has ever seen.
Internals:
Evergreen automotive OEM rebuild kit which includes:
- 81.5mm pistons, King bearings, main bearings, rod bearings(all stock size - lucked out just needed a polish on the crank, no grind)
- Full gasket set(except an oil pump gasket(really? Oh well The Right Stuff ftw)
- Oil and water pump
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And then the fun part...
Machine work included in this build:
- Bore
- Valve job
- Refurbished stock OEM rods
- Resurfaced flywheel(PERFORMANCE series by Autocom) <---ZOMG l337 shit.
- Balancing of all rotating assemblies
- Deck of head/block
- OEM stock header ground(to fit flush onto head... won't break any studs now)
- Cleaned exterior of block/head(it was nasty... I should of taken before pics. Fuck it. :O)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I bought(so far):
- OEM stock cam sprockets
- OEM stock timing chain assembly*the hole fucking timing chain is new*(including covers/brackets)
- Used OEM stock crank pulley(cleaned.. looks sexy - mine had a chip)
- OEM stock header
- OEM stock crank bolt(old one was rounding out)
- Misc nuts/bolts(duh)
- OEM clutch kit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Intention:
Getting back to stock, but with a twist.
I will be purchasing upgrades that will contribute to the longevity of my GS-R.
:X
This is where we're at on the build:
Started:
Then
So forth:
Last, but not least of the finished product of today's work:
I would of gotten the oil pan on, however if it hadn't taken me an hr to drive to 4 different Autozones' for 6x1.0 flanged bolts/nuts, it would of been game. That's my luck for ya!
Stay tuned for more build updates!
P.S.
ALL constructive criticism will be taken into consideration, all ass-hat/hater/e-tough remarks will be ignored.
Cheers!
