what eles should i do?

[madcowvert]

ok guy i have the whole gasket kit, so right now i have the head and block seperated. the kit brought valve seals, so i'm going to send it to a machine shop to get them put in. Other than cleaning the head and putting the vavle seals do you think i should do anything eles to the head or block? also do you think i should put new crank bearings?

this is what i have so far. oem rb25det gasket kit arp head studs greddy timming beltoem water pump oil pump

thanks guys

dont touch the bottom end unless you're doing a full rebuild or fixing the crank collar.

oem rod bolts are not supposed to be reused, but some people seem to have had success doing so.

No. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Wait, what about your crank collar? Have you replaced that or verified that you have a good drive?

^^^ nither how would i go about checking it?

when i took the motor apart every thing looks very very clean. i have pics i'll post them up later.

wow good thing you showed me this before i put the damm re-assymebeld the motor.

[madcowvert]

damm i have the same size as the picture.. where can i buy the collar and how much have you guys spent to fix this.

[madcowvert]

also if i change the crank collar do i need an N1 oil pump or can i use the normal oem one that i have.

congrats. welcome to the world of rebuilding. might as well do the bottom end at this point. n1 pump is ok, buying a new oem is ok. i wouldn't reuse your old one as the drive is probably dented from years of short collar use.

i'm not going to build the bottom end yet. right now at this point i just want a stock reliable motor.

is 133 shiped a bad price for the JUN collar?

read the writeup a bit more carefully. in order to install the collar you need to remove the crank. if you remove the crank you typically want to use new fasteners, in which case may change your big end tolerances, requiring new bearings. then you might as well build the bottom end.

if you plan to fix the crank collar, i would rebuild the motor.

if you don't want to rebuild the motor yet, just get a new pump and put it on.

[madcowvert]

i have a new pump..

if i put my new pump on what are the chances of it going bad?

[gawdzilla]

hard to say.. but its in a sense like restarting the timer on your oil pump going out.

thats how they came from the factory, so it will probably last for some time...

[madcowvert]

we'll see how this plays out i really didn't want to spend $1500 on the bottom end..

[PorkChopExpress]

not that big of a deal.

no quotes on this, but if you just replace the bolts with new oem torque to yield bolts-same torque specs, instead of new arp type hardware. the big end shouldnt go out of round.ive never used oem on rebuilds, so im not 100%

just tell you machinest to check when he press the new bolts in. he should charge around $15 per rod to press and resize a rod.

cutting corners never ends well.

ok so this is what i have found so far let me know if i'm right.
