rebuild
when i get the sr2det red top from heavythrottle. I was thinking of rebuilding the engine or atleast take it apart and clean it and replace w/e parts i can. From what ive read or seen people who just swap it in run into troubles and wish they did it at first. What should i look into replacing when i take it apart besides gaskets and seals.If anyone has done this how long did it take u to do it. I got the whole winter to do it so time isnt an issue for me really i was jw how long.

rebuilding an engine is easy and at the same time, it can be a daunting task. I've helped rebuild a mitsu V6, and I've torn down, and am beginning to rebuild an old L28 that's been overbored.
anyways, when you tear the motor down, you'll need to inspect the bearings, the journals, the pistons, and the piston rings. Replace as necessary. Get some engine assembly lube, you will need it. Torco makes a product that I really enjoy using. I think it's called MZ engine lube. The lube will stick to the metal, and looks like it's a thick gel, but it feels like a normal lubricant.
Make sure you have an FSM for the motor. You will need it for torque specs and patterns.

http://www.zeroyon.com has an S14 manual online. For the rebuild, it will work.
If you want an S13 FSM in japanese, try ebay.
If I were pulling the block apart, I would just go ahead and get new rings and bearings for it, but I also hate getting rings and bearings sized up.

What about a FSM from Australia ? Didn't they sell SR20DET equiped S13's there ? And it would be in English too.tenkawa_akito wrote:If you want an S13 FSM in japanese, try ebay.
