A little update on this, not had much time recently to crack on with this what with helping my mate strip his supra, finally got some time to do a bit of work...
All the bits going in
Block almost stripped, found the main cap bearings to be genuine Nissan bearings, these had started to score even after being in for 3000 miles!
The con rod bearings were ACL which were in good condition, but as I'm replacing the mains and thrust I though I may as well replace these with new also!
New ACL bearings in...
Installed the main caps and crank ladder, installed ARP main stud kit also
Removed old con rod bolts and installed ARP con rod bolts, the installed the pistons back into the block, the pistons had new rings Circa 3000 miles ago and were in VGC so I left this in! Span the crank a few times and it spun smooth ( justa likea silk ) Fitted the head gasket on to the block also...
That's the last of the pics I'm afraid, I started to try and fix a stud that had ripped its thread out of the head, I haven't got the correct size helicoil ATM so I'm having to wait till tomorrow, tomorrow I'll bleed the lash adjusters, sort stripped thread and reinstall the head to the block, hopefully it'll be on the road for easter!
More updates tomorrow
How do I get my thread into the project threads?
