Looking good. So does a home rebuilt motor help or hurt resale? Usually people do it for cars they intend to keep. Are you going to put a few hundred miles on it to make sure everything is up to spec?

InitialDave posted:Besides, if the values were imperial, your total tolerance window would be 48 thou, which is insane. And if he had the crank taken down .020", it would rev to 9000rpm... once. But aren't those numbers too tight for normal production manufacturing? Keeping a .020mm seems awfully tough, or maybe I am not up on current manufacturing tolerances. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jan 21, 2013 |

Adiabatic posted:Yeah this is bad. I've since found one place that has .020" undersized rod bearings, but they're from Rock Auto and with the stock tolerances having a range of 48 microns (that is legitimately insane...) I'm unsure if I really want to go with "one size fits all" undersized bearings. I'd say the only viable option would be to get a low-mileage junkyard motor and plug it back in. Honda has some pretty sophisticated manufacturing processes and I'd be surprised if you can do a garage rebuild of that particular motor with any success. I really want to see if it works or not, though... so disregard this and put it back together!

That doesn't look too bad, just random banging around. Could have happened during pulling, during packaging or during transport. Not a lot you can do do damage the good stuff, even with rough pulling. You have plenty of spares from the blowed-up motor. Just go through a good fluid drain/mechanical check out procedure and it should be fine.

This whole thread has been a long, sad chronicle of you ruining a formerly nice S2000. It's the anti-project thread.

CatBus posted:I would call this more of a reality check. Anyone who has worked on cars long enough has been stuck with a one-thing-after-another nightmare like this. It is part bad luck and part learning curve. Sometimes reality checks go unheeded. OP was warned that the original rebuild was over his head. Since then, it's been a cascade of consequences. If you choose to get into a job like this, you need to know when to step back and see that you're doing more damage than repair. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Adiabatic posted:Hey meatpimp hows your build thread going? Been there, done that. Several times (see Turbo Miata 1, Turbo Miata 2, or Forester XT, among others). Knew enough to not get in over my head and ended up with successful projects, thanks! Edit: This obviously hit a serious chord, I didn't intend for pointing out that a car that started out the thread in good shape, needing a motor swap, and is now 6 months later on its 3rd motor, at least third clutch, and left with undiagnosed drivetrain howling (along with being wrecked in the interim) to turn into a slag-fest. If UF had a project like this he would have been fully savaged by now... meatpimp fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Sep 5, 2013 |

Where was that parked? It looks like the curb side got it much harder than the street side...
