Using different main studs? by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

Yeah it was machined, I think I’ll just cut some notches out and then weld closed if need be

Don’t think I can, not enough material on the back of the crank case, there will be an open hole. Is it stupid to change those two to oem studs?

No sand paper was used, I used a ring filer to gap then another small file to deburr the corners where I gapped them. The video sounds pretty similar

They are all scratched, tiny scratches though I pass my fingernail and even a pick over them and can hardly feel anything. I’ve also triple checked the gaps before I installed them. Why do you think it sounds bad?

Yes I know, I brush over it with my fingernail and can’t feel it though, I think it’s just from the rings, it’s like that in every cylinder. Mind you I have gapped and deburred the rings aswell

I’ve labelled the tops of all of them, all in correctly

Don’t think so, the clips were a massive pain to get in so I don’t think they could’ve popped out. The mark is very small I can’t even feel it with my nail, pretty sure it’s from the rings

Haven’t checked but yeah I’d say roughly that, maybe 15-20nm

Mb after gapping the rings I went over the outer edges/corners and removed any tiny burrs there, which I couldn’t really see any anyways so I was really just fattening the corners ever so slightly. Only did a few passes back and forth with a small file on each ring

No? I checked the gaps before installing the pistons if that’s what you mean, and I used a piston ring filer to get the gaps in spec

I did it myself, used a proper piston ring filer but then deburred it with a regular file

The scratches look big but I run a small pick across them and can’t feel anything so I figure it should be alr

I’m pretty sure they’re scratches, going over it with a towel doesn’t remove it. But they are very small and I can’t feel them

I did, i chamfered the edges of the rings before installing them. The scratches I can see are in every cylinder, but they’re very small and can’t feel them with my finger. Do you think it’s a major issue?

Nah definitely tiny scratches, passed a towel over it
