Is there anything specialized that I'm gunna need to do with that front stack? Or can Vlad and I easily hammer it out next weekend and finish making the long block? |

So... Sunday morning we woke up a bit late, after Coffee and the arrival of Bawb and Mike (Bob was here before the coffee was even brewed) we started stacking the keg up. Enter: My Garage.. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04525.jpg The majority of the assembly went pretty seamlessly. There were only 1-2 bottom corner seals that rotated wrong. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04526.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04527.jpg We used Quicksilver premix, Vaseline, and GTX 10W-30 for the assembly. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04528.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04530.jpg Nothing says "gigity" like brand new housings and irons. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04531.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04533.jpg Suck it Bawb!!! I did something for the engine (other than just painting the irons) lol http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04534.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04535.jpg Almost there!!! http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04536.jpg I hate to see my rotors disappear from sight, but damned if I don't love where they're going... http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04537.jpg Almost ready for the studs :sifone: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04538.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04539.jpg Studs in, torque order written, down they go! http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04544.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04540.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...y/DSC04541.jpg That's where we ran into trouble.... When we tore down my old engine I put the bolts attaching the flywheel to the counterweight back into the counterweight so I wouldn't lose them. Then I turned them in with the junked engine.... Le Sad Day... Being basically unable to go forward we decided to wrap it up for this session. Brian hit the road for Connecticut with his paramour, Mike headed home, Vlad and his buddy dipped out and Bawb stuck around for another beer and some dinner. Ideally I'll be able to get the bolts in and finish making the long block next weekend. The rest of the build will be on hold till Brian can make it back down though.. |

Once you get the flywheel on the front stack isn't too difficult. You do need to set your end play though (see below)
Attachment 12543 Attachment 12544 PS Don't throw away the spacer you don't use. I could use it. |
Werd.... set end play to 15-20 thou, and make sure the torque is set to ~105-112ft/lbs not the 240-270 it calls for.... remember, it's an S4 front stack
|
^ That's 240-270 N-m, however that is still 180-200 ft*lbs
|
So you know vlad as well ... hmm.. what part of VA are you in??
|
I'm in Alexandria. We went to domestics vs. imports last November (with Rocky and crew) and you were going to help me retrieve my British friend from the airport for DGRR.
|
Not me.. I don't think. My life is a blur sometimes.
I work in Fairfax so jumping over to Alexandria is no big deal. Did you used to go to the Chik Fil A meets in Dulles? |

I could be absolutely mistaking you, lol! No, I haven't ever gone to one of the Chic Fil-A meets, though I've heard of them. I just didn't see the point since my FD has been down for (basically) the entire time I've lived up here, lol. |
Ah - yup, not me. I haven't been to budds creek since 2001, lol...
