aight so we begin with this diary...(dont tell me it sounds gay...honestly dgaf. hate all you want but at the end of the day i own these two cars and i enjoy the fuck out of em..) dont mean to sound flame-anoid but...ppl love to flame on)

SO way back when i installed my avc-r and blew my motor on .9bar. reason why i tuned it down to .7. but i was overheating like a ****** ****** so i think i weakend my headgasket. ne who i blew my motor on the 91 west under the 55 conjunction. was so butt hurt i didn't get towed...i drove another 5-8 miles home. yah bad mistake i know..specially when my oil pressure read like...8 psi. (idle psi is round 20) (no i dont want to hear you bicker about what my psi should be as there is discrepancy as to were i mount my sensor..of course correct me if im wrong in thinking so.

thus im rebuilding my motor.

then i'll tweak out on my suspension
coz it totally blowes. and my passenger kei office is blown and now my car rides like im on lowering springs. **** belldandy looks and rides like a ricer... :cry:

[vq35hrNismo]

should clarify. i didn't overheat the day i blew my motor. i was overheating and running really hot a bunch of times before hand.

[vq35hrNismo]

its getting late so here are some pictures of my motor. its next 2 a 2jz i took apart for shits and giggles. well i haven't broken down a 6 cylinder before so i thought id practice on this guys 2j.

im not sure what i'll do with this motor. the coolant channels in this one are pretty pitted and rusted. i do have another rb running in belldandy as im working on this one so i may pick and chose that short block and service the head of the blown rb while i prepare another car to use while i pull belldandy's heart out again.

[vq35hrNismo]

srry if the pics are blurry, using my handy dandy iphone

[vq35hrNismo]

tore off the head. forogt to take a pic of it..but heres the long block

[vq35hrNismo]

if you look closely can you see on pistons 1 and 6 how the tops are semi cleaned. Dyou guys think this is oil wash from bad rings (havn't feelerd em yet) or oil wash/ coolant wash from blowing my headgasket and driving the b*tch home?

[vq35hrNismo]

thought this was pretty cool. didn't know the rb came with a main bearing rail. Love these bad boys. less parts and makes for perfect crank "cradle" when i pull it out.

today i painted my exhaust manifold
i sand blasted it earlier but forgot to take pictures of it :(. it had a chrome like polish that i absolutely did not like. not to mention how it'll brown after a few runs. ne who..thank you pep boys spray paint. i forgot the name...but it was the one for 1300F-2000F.

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/emani003.jpg

lmao!! i **** earlier though... got over zelous and sprayed to close on my wastegate pipe and talk about...run off :duh:

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/emani001.jpg

i was thinking of re sandblasting the ****er bu i decied id just bust out the sand paper real quick...

[vq35hrNismo]

you know... i actually dont like this exhaust mani. i hope belldandy doesn't cope a tune with it..non equal length pipes. and i dont know if you can see it in the picture but the pipe for cyl 1 looks beat up a bit... friggin cheap crap >< it better fight right...i hope.

well....

I sand blasted my valve covers.
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/rb022.jpg

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/rb023.jpg

happy i dont have a sludge prob under my baff plates either

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/rb024.jpg


in fact...the motor has looked fine. cept for the potential oil/coolant wash on my pistons.
have yet to bust out the feeler gauge for em.

[vq35hrNismo]

shit...im actually debating weather or not to use those pistons still...i mean...its kinda bare (stupid of me?) how i placed them in there...i took a towel and laid them on that now..but...meh...

[vq35hrNismo]

i also decided to take apart the valve train
****ing forgot to measure installed valve height though...*sigh*

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/rb026.jpg

also i used one of these to pop out my keepers..
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u171/Knshirazi/belldandy%20diary/rb027.jpg
is that tool fucked up!?!? i mean..i sure as hell banged em off of my head >< if youve ever used one.
if not...you place playdoh under the head in the chamber to prevent the valves from opening while hammering the **** out of your retainers.

BTW
RB25 has LASH type lifters...wtf i forgot where i read someone spouting nonesense about it being hydrolic (i know i spelled it wrong..please correct me. my auto spell cant even fix that haha )

[vq35hrNismo]

whats gayer is that these pucks dont even have ability to pop off the top for shimming. lack of engineering on nissans part? or was it its a freaking rb25 well only bother for the 26..coz the 25 was a motor for the skyline that went grocery shopping not touge

cant be... heh heh heh

nissan must be confident that the pucks dont wear down.
really though this whole motor looks like reg wear and tear..cept for some lines on my cyl walls...i dont have a pic atm

[vq35hrNismo]

First step to asking for help is knowing how. Review your grammar and sentence structures and try again. You will have better results, trust me.

lol i read that off someone elses thread..wasn't towards me mind you. But i assure i'll try my up most best towards that...or something like that hehe
