Evening everyone. Let me start this off by saying I've never rebuilt an engine by myself. Im also not a great writer or any sort of literate person.

So I got a block finally, basicly for free... as most of you know an unfortunate smelting accident blew 3 holes in my last block, and by fire I'm going to do it again. Especially since I got the block so cheap

Ive started by pulling off the oil pan, and removing the main cap (I think that's what it's called. ) I could tell someone had already been in the motor, because the block is mostly bare, and the cap bolts were almost completly lose... so I didn't bother removing them in the proper torque sequence...


There was no oil screen pickup thinggy... so I didn't have to even mess with that. Now the main cap wouldn't just come right off, I had to call a buddy and ask him about this, cause I was pretty stumped on how to get it out... so I had to tap it with a piece of wood and a hammer , I didn't have a rubber mallet.


I also have a horrible working environment so I put the maincap in a plastic bag to at least help from getting it and the bearings, which I'll probably replace anyhow, from getting dirty.


Once removed I checked the journals on the bottom side of the crank, everything apears very nice, and there are no nicks at all.


I'll post some pics up once I get to work tomorrow. I'll keep updating this as I go along...

PS. If anyone who has expierence with rebuilding Honda motors has insight, or helpful tips, I'd more then like to hear them.

So post up!!

Till tomorrow.

 

It's mostly a spare time thing... I still need to get a plastiguage thing and my tq wrench back.

 

KJ your assistance would be more then apreciated...

I was told this block had a spun bearing, but the rods do not shake at all, I thought they would if the bearing spun...?
