    Pretty good so far, I’m watching is sections. Now if that god awful noise was cut to 1db during the fast forward parts so only a bat 🦇 could hear it, then it would be a lot more pleasant to watch. 😊

    Thanks a lot for bringing us along on the rebuild. Camera positions, framing and detail were excellent and it will be a big help if ever I have to pull apart the engine in my '95. Not an easy task having to think about the rebuild alongside video recording. Nice work!

    So I watched your video, skipped most of the time lapse parts, this isn't my first engine, and thought it was pretty well done. I'm assembling my engine today and when I opened the rings I realized that they were a different profile and had no dot. I assumed the printing would go upward but assuming isn't my favorite way to build an engine! Lol. Your clarification helped! Thanks!

    • @carbonauto

      Ring orientation is important. When I was in high school auto shop. We got a free F150 V8 engine from a local dealership that was burning oil. It was brand new. They couldnt figure out what was wrong. My class took it apart and found the rings were put in upside down from the factory.

    I’m in total awe of your patients and memory. I wish you had told us the mileage and age of that motor. It would appear you’re frequently reading the Bible as I don’t know of any rebuilding manuals for this motor, unless you’re fluent in Japanese. I’d probably do the same.

    • @carbonauto
      @carbonauto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! The truck is a 1990 and it probably had close to 120k miles on it but could be hard to say. There is manuals for these trucks and motors. I have a KS4 Manual for sale. Let me know if I can help you find a manual.

    • @carbonauto
      @carbonauto  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I got the kit from G&R imports. They are out of Missouri and usually have a lot of common parts in stock. Rebuilding it was really cost-effective. I'm sure a replacement from Japan is great, but at like $3k+ that just didn't make sense. I didn't pay much for the truck! Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hello, I just purchased a mid 90's Sanburn, it comes with no info, where would I look to determine the year, model, and engine model? I see you were using what looked like a service manual, I was wondering where I could find one once I know all my info on what have? That was a great video you made

    • @carbonauto
      @carbonauto  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is lots of manual floating around on amazon and ebay for these. Be aware though that they don't always have the accurate info. Check the FB group facebook.com/groups/sambarsquad
      You can drop your trucks vin number in there and someone can help decode it for ya.

    • @carbonauto
      @carbonauto  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty cheap. Cylinder hone was $35. You could hone it yourself but since I needed the cleaning on the block. Just made sense to have them do it. The soda blasting and hot tank for the block, head, and some misc pieces was $250.

      How did you determine it was flooding? Depending upon your model. There is a fuel solenoid that will shut off fuel to the bowl. Make sure this is working. The wires are common to short burning through. If that looks good I would rebuild the carb and look at the bowl float for proper height.

    • @carbonauto
      @carbonauto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, the piston rings were bad. I was able to determine this using a compression gauge. Power is definitely better now. I ported and polished the head which may have helped a bit.

  • @Pigpenned
    @Pigpenned 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I know this motor uses belts but reminded me of building CB750's. Trouble is I was stupid. I took advantage of workshops I had access to then suddenly I had no workshop and had to start again. Love the effort & care you put into it but that transmission with the same paint- I think you should have done it but it's up to you. BTW the video music sounds like someone saying "F**k Freddo" lol. A Romahome demountable would be cool on it bt the Hi-Jets have the 1300 motor. th-cam.com/video/pYupSHWEJxA/w-d-xo.html
