How to: Assemble Pistons with Rods
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- In this quick video I show you how to put together your piston and rod assembly and get it ready for installation onto the crankshaft.
Here are the current specs for my KA build for those who are interested:
- .020" overbore
- Wiseco .020" over forged pistons
- Eagle H-beam rods
- Stock Crank
- No line boring or honing
- Clevite Main Bearings (In my other video, I showed you how to choose the proper bearings for your KA. I'm going with the Clevite "standard" bearings really for experimentation purposes, to see how they hold up.)

Your effort to educate those still on those who are starting off doesn't go unappreciated or unrecognised. Thanks for the reply
It’s been 7 years and this video still comes in handy.
sir,if you need cheap and good quality truck accessories,pls contact me

Couldn't have finished my college assignment without this thanks
+Mitchell Harte Really glad it helped!
I like how its not your standard Hollywood style video where everything goes perfect... you take the time to explain what to do in case something doesn't go as planned, etc.
Good job man!
James Sisson thank you sir!
Comments like this always give me a nice boost. Its awesome to know that people like this stuff that I'm posting. Thank you so much for your support and welcome aboard brother!
First time I've seen the wrist clips installed. Thanks for the tip!
I just want to say thank you this inspired me to part one of my journey.
Man I been working on cars for quite some time, never assembled a engine always sent it out. You broke this down so well I’m doing it myself
Thanks for the way to insert the retaining clip. I was struggeling to get them in, my clips seem harder than yours (Supertech pistons), but your way worked. My thumb hurts now, but all 8 rings are in place :)
hey there, i think your an awesome person for showing these videos. i learned in your videos more then i have in years. also thought me not to be afraid and do it yourself. some people can make it seem so difficult and impossible, thanks.
thanks for taking the time to make this man, i dont really ever comment on videos but there is some real good info here. ill be subbing for sure.
+mxerboy123 I appreciate it! Really glad you found it useful!
Great video keep it up. Can't wait to get my 240
I got a 95 s14 zenki. Im also going KA-T. I have read alot of your comments and watched your videos and I gotta say I got a lot of respect for you and you have earned my subscribe. Keep the videos coming I'll be here watching and clicking the like button bro.
Yeah man your vids are Fnnn awsome you have a real good way of explaining thing and keeping it simple for people trying to learn keep it up man !!
dude this video is great so informative and to the point keep it up and stay a hoonigan!
How bout a video on taking off engine block...and disassembling parts.
Video on honing or reboreing cylinders.
Rebuilding block.
Reconditioning engine head..when to shave head...renew valves...
If these videos are available, I'll probably bump into them as I mean to watch all
thanks for posting! awesome video
I'm currently building my j series motor and using 89 mm pistons from a k24 wisecos thanks for the videos!
awesome video man! love watching your videos, i learn a lot! what other videos do you have in store? like fully assembling the block? and are you gonna do any videos on the head?
Note on some engines, Peugeot for instance, the rod has cut outs for the bearing tags, to stop rotation in use . They go at the back of the engine and thus indicate which way the piston goes on the rod..... :-)
nice video but only one thing don't go by installing the rods to the piston by using the eagle logo. always look at the big end where you install the bearings the little cut out groove that keep your bearings from moving on the rod has to be facing to the left side .wile the dot or arrow on the piston faces the front of the engine wile your standing up front of the engine. or to make sure just look at your stock piston and rod always look at the little notches that's on the big end side of rod
+Monstrosity Sound Inc. hmmm I think it ended up working out anyway, but thanks for the tip!
Good job thanks William Orange county, ca.
just subscribed vids are great and u explain so any one can do this...thanks!
Good explanation
Thanks for the video
I pulled a ricer mistake dang it! But i love the vids they help!
Helpful video. Keep em coming! Im guessing KAT project?
You too.!! And let's have fun doing it! !!
Nice Vid bro, thumbs up
thanks mate, helped alot
Good video but I couldn't really tell which rings you were putting where because the camera was a little too far away for me to tell.
Just a little constructive criticism so total noobs like me don't get confused in the future lol. Great vid.
hi pal good video the marks on the piston are for the power stroke were the piston joins to conrod it is slight lay angled if u get what I mean
How hard will it be to disconnect the old piston from the connector rod? Thanks.
nice guide.
Good shit bro.
Look, it's just a misunderstanding, ,, keep doing what you are doing, , it's all good!!! Take care dude!!
haha you too!
Man I get it now, just read through the other comments. I initially thought you were implying that I said it would be okay to install .030 pistons in a .060 bore. Sorry for the confusion haha, keep wrenching!
Yup thats the whole point, someone out there is confused, so I'm hoping to help that person out! My crankshaft main bearing bolts come in on Monday, so expect the next video soon!
Please get the word out. Eagle sold me what I thought was a .060 over piston because it was stamped on it and that is what I ordered. However the actual size is .030. They stamped it wrong but because I used them for 60 miles it is totally my own fault for not checking there work.
Thanks for the vid!
is needle bearings only for 2 stroke motors?
Alright, nevermind. Didn't comment till the end of the video loll. Looking forward to the next video!
These videos are so funny, and the comments are even more funny!!,,, install a .30 over piston in a .60 over cylinder, , really, ,, wow!! Could have dropped the piston trough !!! The mark on pistons is for facing forward, , but the rod will have to be facing the correct way, based upon your crankshaft radius, ,, rods are not marked for facing forward only! ! Come on guys, I understand you want to do it yourself, , and that's cool!! But please watch the professionals!!! Save money and time by doing it right the first time! ! You don't make such a mess pre-lubing the pins when installing the rod/pins, save that for installation of pistons in its Bore, lube the pins well, and rings, , install the piston, , your done!! Be safe and have fun!!
who said anything about installing a .30 over piston in a .60 over cylinder? That is some crazy overbore, and neither are my specs. As far as the rods, you'll have to take that up with the manufacturers/designers of the rods. According to them it doesn't matter for this car. Please dont use assembly lube to lubricate your cylinder bores... As always, thanks for the hate!
I wanna see how you install everything in the bottom of a motor lol
Nice build i did wiseco pistons as well, I bored my motor out paid my machine shop for that and the build. Props for doing the bottom end yourself, did you just put a new set of pistons in without honing or boring?
Brian Heiden Thanks! I actually took the bare block, pistons, and piston spec sheet to my machinist so he could bore everything to spec and get the right piston-to-wall clearance.
How did you just push the pins in through the rod by hand? The rods typically have to be heated then installed hot in order to get them assembled.
That's on a press fit pin. These are floating pin rods.
@@daveintexas2000 seriously, 6 months later. Thanks.
Thanks
Post on how to time everything man !
Yessir! Thanks for the support!
Project Garage, my car is making a whining sound but only when my wife is in it. Could you tell me what the problem might be.
awesome
Is it possible to use upgraded piston with stock connecting rod?
Hey I just ordered the same set up for my ka24de, was wondering how it is running 9:0:1 compression without turbo?
+Jordan Guzman It was running great, but the WISECO PISTONS ruined my engine. One of the c-clips that is supposed to hold the wrist pin was defective and caused the wrist pin to slide out, causing a HUGE gouge in my cylinder wall and ruining my numbers matching original engine. I contacted WISECO about it and they didn't even bother to talk to me about it. I WOULD HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST BUYING WISECO PISTONS FOR THIS CAR. Go with arias or CP, more expensive but you wont pay for it later.
+Project Garage wow that sounds like a nightmare, thanks for the heads up
No problem man. There are definitely people out there that have used them without issues. But the fact that WISECO didn't even take the time to back their product says something. I don't want ANYONE going through what I did.
+Project Garage yeah I hear you on that one, this is the second time I'm rebuilding this engine. The first time I had some shop do it and they messed up bad. installed the rings in the wrong order and upside down plus the idler sproket blot go stripped out. so there was a lot of cylinder scoring. Now I'm in the process of boring to 89.5mm and doing the forged internals to run boost.
Would it ha a good idea to heat up the rings before install
Which direction would pressed fit i beam rods face on an inline engine
Cool, Hey I got a question about oil pump mod, have you every done one for this engine??Thanks
Some videos on here show that you have to heat up the rod. I guess its not really necessary, is it?
Thanx for uploading..
bro keep it up man this helped.. btw will this apply the same way to k24a4 Honda accord engine
Also applys to hondas entire k series line. And the ring gap orientation is known as clocking the piston rings.
ok thanks gonna get them :)
whats the proper ring gap for use with nitrous?
In a previous video, I explained how to set the ring end-gaps
how come u didn't measure the ring gaps?
Have you seen how many times you hit the piston rings on the table? Hint: Always put your piston rings on as last, and better use lub oil in stead of this ass. grease. Best is same oil as you run with in the engine you are gonna use this piston
kool
no ring gap file?
Do you have to have the engine out to put pistons and rods in
Probably depends on the engine. I know that some cars you can swap things while the engine is in. Whether that's recommended is another thing ;p
Did you gap these rings ?
SI RICKO yes I did, you can see the process in a previous video
I wished i watched ur vid about detials of the crank lol
dude, you have to check the ring gaps!
I sure did!
How To: File Piston Ring End-Gaps
sorry, spoke a lil early on the block part lol.
er hat gerade bei diesem Kolben vergessen zu sagen das es ein oben und ein unten gibt was das Öl entweder in den Brennraum leitet oder in richtung Ölringe. Diese Ringe haben zum Teil schrägen und es gibt zum Einlaufen Minutenringe!
Dude u cool as fuck thanks
Turbo altima
I thought installing the wrist pin was always press fit?
nope not always. depends on the car
You can buy press fit or floating.
Did you have to file the ring gaps to a certain spec are do they come ready to install without needed to file the ends?
you have to set them to a certain gap, this is VERY important. check out my other video on how to set ring gaps!
crap that was a FAST response, I'll check it out thanks :) !
+DxBOY15 👍
do the oil control rings have to be gaped? Watched your ring filing video but don't think you mentioned those. Thanks! Very informative for building my 2zz
+Project Garage you lubed that piston hole good lol
what lubricant did you use or recommend bro
I use CRC Engine Assembly Lube
Cool thanx man👍
Can piston run with one retaining pin?
It will run for a moment, until the wrist pin slides out and smashes into the cylinder wall, ruining the block.
So in other words, no. Gotta have two; one on each side to hold the wrist pin in place. :-)
rhkips Unless the piston was built for one retaining clip. So the wrist pin can only go in or come out from one side.
Project Garage
Interesting thought! I've never seen nor heard of that before, but now you've got me curious! Are you aware off-hand of any engines built like that? I'm gonna dig in when I can and see if I can't find something. :-)
rhkips Yea I mean I haven't looked into it. But the whole point is to keep the wrist pin from flying out. So if a piston manufacturer did want to only use one retaining clip they could easily do it. I dont think there are any pros or cons to it
Project Garage
There are instances where PTFE bungs are used instead of clips.................
Myvintage
Who?? You ask,, said any thing about the,, .60 over pistons, , well as you can see, I mentioned about the comments! !! Joel Maynard, installed a 30 over piston in a 60 over hole,,, and drove it 60 miles!!! A experienced engine builder like myself would have known the pistons were REALLY LOSE!!! and,,, never no hate!!! But people watching videos like this and others,,, gives guys the idea they can,,, do it yourself, , only to tear it back down!! At least watch or ask the pro's! !
I really dont understand your problem with my video, but I hope you're having a great time haha
someone tell me he doesn't look like Kanye West💁💁💁💁💁
Chillll lmao buts it's a good vid and it helped me
Kanye Middle East 😂😂
How to get the lube of your fingers? LOL!
Just subscribed I'm planning on getting forged internals for my block this was very informative. Also stop by my channel and if you have any advice let me know
things got really sexual at 9:25
lol
no your just perverted
Live??😅😅😂😂😂 Do you mean grease? 😂😂😂😂 "Don't be stingy with the assembly lube" ...? 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
those shit retaining clips are the reason i didnt get weisco pistons how the fuck are you supposed to put those in a subaru engine
I dont really understand your issue with the retaining clips... But generally you'd pull the engine out for rebuilds.
this was hard to watch
Forged internals for that car 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Blow your freakin nose.
