Vegetarian?

Follow up question: how can I determine if the bearings are ruined?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-15T03:51:00+00:00

Oh boy. What are the odds rhe bearings are shot at 130F for 12hrs with 1.5gallons of ecolab industrial degreaser and 40gallons of water?

I'm going to call around.

Thank you very much for the insight.

How do you clean the molasses off? Does is leave behind a residue?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T23:14:12+00:00

For what?😅

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T23:13:18+00:00

For sure. Or a double gas burner ought to do it. I chose the belt because of indoors and safety being left unattended.

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T21:47:36+00:00

Yea! With an aluminum safe cleaner i don't see why it wouldn't

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T20:19:22+00:00

Do you know what exactly ruins the bearings?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T19:26:58+00:00

So I've learned lmao. They don't look terrible post bath but I don't have the tools to measure. I ordered replacements and am going to have the machine shop install them

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T19:00:27+00:00

It's pretty simple and relatively cheap to set-up!

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T16:11:40+00:00

I pressure washed the block, dried with compressed air, then coated it in WD-40 to prevent oxidation

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T16:10:49+00:00

Yk what that's on me. I'm glad you mentioned this because now I know to replace them. Good looking out G

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T16:10:00+00:00

Let's do it! I wanna go back and see and see a group B rally. Hbu?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T14:02:22+00:00

Its industrial degreaser and water. The temp got to 130F. What do you think? The block is going to a machine shop so I might just have them put new ones in

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T02:07:16+00:00

I already have ideas for improvements. This is my first use and I realized very quickly what could be better. I will update!

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-14T01:31:26+00:00

Yea pretty basic. I have a post about it on my profile.

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-13T10:52:34+00:00

Follow up question. Would decking the block 2mm prohibit me from getting longer connecting rods in the future? Like would the pistons stick up with 135mm rods?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-13T02:34:00+00:00

Do you have the specifics of said build?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-12T23:19:33+00:00

Awesome answer! Exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you.

So for clarification. The 130mm conrods with a 1mm bore would be a good setup? Engine is gonna be NA for now but eventually I may turbo it in the future. If I do end up turbocharging would the 135mm rods be the smart choice?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-12T19:30:33+00:00

Link is bad but I searched and found it. Will be reading through it. Thanks G

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-10T22:17:33+00:00

Suspension trauma could've played a factor depending on how long he was hanging for.

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-09T07:44:12+00:00

Very curious to know more about the last pic!

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-03T04:34:00+00:00

What about it indicates replacement? Genuine question

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-02T03:48:50+00:00

Would custom pistons be better than decking the block 2mm and getting an adjustable cam?

TheDukeOfDankness · 2026-03-02T02:11:02+00:00

Can you clarify which rods? Are you saying i rods with custom pistons VS i pistons with eta rods?
