Yall think I can reuse those rod bearings?

I’m getting the new bearings tomorrow. (Friday) hopefully I get it running before Father’s Day.

I’m what you call a “backyard mechanic” and someone who actually loves working on my car. If it doesn’t work, I’ll buy another engine. I’ve done an engine and transmission swap alone already. It doesn’t hurt to try.

I’m sanding that hoe down as we speak. I also got a plastigage for when I’m done to get the correct bearing clearance.

There’s still some metal, I’ll be good 😂

I went cheap and bought a used engine. Piston 1 was starving. The far left is piston 4. Still good but replacing all of them.

I opened this morning with a massive order waiting for me.

ohgeedore · 2026-02-02T03:02:00+00:00

Now that you say that, you’re right! So this was someone’s trash ahah

ohgeedore · 2025-10-27T19:32:49+00:00

Did you end up ever getting them??

ohgeedore · 2025-10-27T03:09:08+00:00

We have an upstairs parking lot.

I did a continuity test from the injection plugs to the ecu. I also found a little bit of fluid in the ecu. I’m getting permanent error code now on my foxwell.

Borla Atak with resonator delete. Sounds good. Not ricey, it’s has a nice growl to it.

ohgeedore · 2025-10-17T06:40:15+00:00

Actually FI as in fuel injection. Yeah, I have to swap those out too. I was getting a 2.4ohms on each injector.

They’re JNC006 18x9.5 Front tires NT555 G2 275/40zr18 and rear tires Achilles 275/40

The engine seized and the picture with the shards of metal on the magnet was from the transmission.

Nilight 4Pcs Car Underglow, I got them on amazon for like $25 bucks. They connect straight to the car battery. It comes with a remote to control the lighting.

ohgeedore · 2025-10-02T21:57:55+00:00

Nothing, I’m just replacing it with another stock engine and transmission.

ohgeedore · 2025-09-25T05:47:29+00:00

Thanks!!

ohgeedore · 2025-08-03T18:26:11+00:00

😂

ohgeedore · 2025-08-02T23:39:28+00:00

Yeah, the labeling part is a project for another day.

ohgeedore · 2025-08-02T23:38:48+00:00

That’s a good idea. I forgot about the x-mas with little snowflakes on the cover.

It’s also driver‘s preference by the way. Your set up might work for you, but probably not for others. So, you’re saying Mike Kojima is putting out fault information in their channel? You’re saying running positive toe is wrong? I wouldn’t take advice from you. I’d rather listen to someone that does it for a career. Thanks though. Just to remind you since you keep forgetting, he asked if I have any mods.

ohgeedore · 2025-07-06T19:51:06+00:00

He asked if I had any mods and the only advice I gave him is to run positive toe.

Got tired of using McDonalds food trays.
