[4k] GSX Dry Assembly Begins
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2020
- The Dry assembly is the process where you verify your oil clearance and all the parts specifications of your engine's rotating assembly. It involves both precision and non-precision tools. The dry assembly is complete once all of the specifications have been verified to be correct. It is a sanity check. It's what gives you the peace of mind the first time you fire up your engine that the numbers you measured also match how the parts fit once they're installed.
Because this engine block has experienced significant changes from its factory specifications, received 2 coatings for both aesthetics as well as performance reasons... AND will be using a different crankshaft than it was originally built with... AND the addition of a bearing girdle to add the strength necessary to the bottom end for my power goals with this build... I have to give extra scrutiny to the dry assembly process. The engine will not be assembled until I achieve the specifications I need.
If you pay someone to assemble your engine, you don't see or hear about all the effort required to deliver a finished product. The obstacles that arise are someone else's problems to fix. If you want an honest video about this, none of your results will work properly the first time. Sometimes not even on the second, third, fourth times, etc... Nobody in TV production or
If you choose to assemble your own engine, ALL these challenges become yours. Hopefully my efforts to do this here, a very different build than other projects you've watched here, will help anyone accepting this challenge understand problems they might encounter. I'd want them to appreciate how the dry assembly process can save not only their investment of time and money on their project, but their sleep schedule and peace of mind. When you know for a fact that your parts fit and that your clearances are correct, then you can turn that key for the first time with confidence. If there's a problem, then you know what the problem is, and what it isn't.
In this video we play with the before and after results with a torque plate. We explore the use of rod bolt stretch gauges. We open up the discussion about casting stress loads and how they can affect the outcome of your build. We also even discuss the affect that repetition, fatigue and haste can play on the person assembling it. How the intended use of the engine can also affect your specifications.
A stock build should be by the book, and by "book", I mean service manual. Not my videos. Follow those specifications and procedures. If it's a performance build, all those values change. You can follow performance specifications with stock parts and achieve better durability under power output levels beyond the factory's designed limits (and I proved it with a different project), but it will ultimately shorten the lifespan of that engine.
So, if your pistons or crankshaft don't fit inside the block, watch this: • [4K] GSX Block Prep 8 ...
It's the companion video and complete dry assembly video where I do it by the book. Literally.
Alternatively for the crankshaft, if it's only off by a couple of tenths or you suspect a defect, you can watch this: • Crankshaft Refurbishing

Dude, this was crazy. I was having a chat with a friend about engine assembly, and I thought in my mind: You gotta have a look at Jafro. 6 minutes later you post this! Thanks for having my back buddy ;-)
I've been known to accidentally get it right once in a while. I have actually built an engine here before. Tell your friend I said "hi", and I thank you for your vote of confidence!
@@Jafromobile - My friend used to work for Nissan, but was never apart of the actual assembly. She was curious about the process, and what happened after her stage in the "assembly line". Luckily you were here to assist. While waiting for your next video, I'll be watching Mike Patey build some kick ass aircraft. Highly recommended, since you are undoubtedly a man of high standards and work ethics.
Love the blurred “mystery” car.
Totally not an elantra.
@@whe3ls356 hahahaha
Your admission of not being perfect EVER is really admirable. I really look up to that.
The word you're looking for is humble. But yeah, he truly is real damn humble.
You know when he says a measurement is "dead nuts"? That's gearhead for "perfect".
Binky and Jafro uploads in one weekend! What am I, dreaming?
There are very well regarded engine builders who put less attention to detail in their $100,000 engines. Excellent video sir.
Jafro pays for his own parts, he tries to get every dollar out of them
@Duncan Macleod nobody will ever care more about your car than you do. At least that's what I've told myself to justify doing things myself
You've dragged this build out so long Binky is almost finished 😂
Hey... I've blown up, rebuilt and rewired another car in this amount of time... lol. But yes. Correct.
@Blake Sodini seems legit
Every time i watch your videos i learn so much about building engines. Now all i need is more patience to actually implement your ways.
If anyone doesn’t like this, what are they doing on this channel? This is extreme engine building people. We who have watched from the Stone Age know what to expect. Meticulous detail oriented build. If you have no patience, move on. It’s a tedious process. Only the dedicated need apply. Keep it up Jafro! Stay healthy!😊👍🏻
no, its totally overkill and just OCD at its best. but whatever, its entertaining.
Got 20 minutes in a realized I don't own a 4G car anymore. I was just so mesmerized by your voice overs lol
There's a 4g that still owns a little bit of real estate in your mind and in your heart, though. ;)
Not gonna lie you've probably spent more $$ on just cleaners and coffee filters than I have on my entire car so far! Preparation is key, though, I've got huge admiration for how meticulous you are with all the prepwork and thorough measurements. Maybe one day I'll get over my anxiety for this and finally blueprint an engine. Also I really wouldn't have thought only 10% of your viewers are subscribers! That means if all the lurkers subscribed, you'd be right around a million subs! You definitely deserve that much, I'll tell ya hwat.
I'm pretty sure that number goes up in the months with a new upload, but I was pretty surprised by that too. And yes, you're right.
I didn't know how much technical this stuff can get. Love ya work
Jafro, you're a friggen legend
Yep, 4g63 guru he is
Never get sick of watching how thorough you are dude. I built my own Bike engines using your videos as guidance. Still running like a charm!
Keen to see more GSX goodness
I’ve been subscribed to you all they way back since I had my second job. 2014-2015, crazy how time flies!
One of my favorite TH-camrs. Jafro is absolutely dedicated. Imagine how much work this is, and then he has to record it, and do a voiceover on top! Really top notch stuff, I'll never stop watching.
Great video. The first one of your videos I ever saw was the one where you spun a bearing in this motor, which helped console me after I had just ruined a 4.6L F-150 engine by screwing up a rod bearing replacement. This video feels like things have come full circle for this engine. It's also an example of why I always thing of you when mechanical things are frustrating, not going as planned, and taking forever. You say you're not that patient, but your way of re-framing how you think about things makes you practically a garage zen master in my book. Thanks again for all the great work!
Come on people! 50 minutes of very informative information and not one ad! This guy deserves your add/like and subscribe.
For technicals I often refer people to your channel. Especially 4g63 stuffs.
I have learnt more and am inspired more from your videos then anyone/anything else ever. I am currently building an RB30/25 engine for my Nissan R34. Every day I can't wait to get home and work on it a little.
Thank you very much for being extremely inspirational and informative.
Your videos are therapeutic. Thank you for your consistent attention to detail and honesty.
Very good video, I'm glad you show the real struggle of things not adding up no matter how thorough of a job you do. And how no matter how frustrating it is you just have to keep after it. I've been doing this crap for 33 years and I hate it and love it at the same time.😂
Hell yeah!! After Tom posted about the Binky update I immediatly posted a reply about how I need my Jafro fix! Thanks dude!
I was supposed to go to the damn grocery store and then this showed up! YOUR TIMING IS, AS USUAL, PERFECT. THANKS, GUY!
I'm not a car/engine guy, I'm a embedded firmware engineer, but I learn neat stuff every time I watch your videos. thumbs up!
Thank you Jafro, I'm starting dry assembly soon and your tip on how to measure plastigage with doweled rods is terrific, you may have saved me headaches and time on my volvo b230!
Big ups! Have something to watch after the gym!
Hi Jafro I have been watching your videos for years, in that time you have sold me on the idea of drag racing my boring economy saloon car as well as fitting a turbo to it. Thanks mate keep up the output you are a legend.
Have you ever been more satisfied with something your own hands built? Because you sound like you understand that. That's what I'm doing here. You felt it. You get it. Cheers David!
Glad to see you back
I recall I stared watching this build years ago. If all engine builders would work that way we would still be riding horses.
i love these voice overs. always enjoy when you drop new material jafro.
Wow, Jafro, wow. Impressive, to say the least. You keep telling us how imperfect your build is yet you've gone to so much trouble to get it so right. I've seen far more do far less and still be considered an expert. Love the work and dedication man. You are inspiring
I am far from being an expert. In fact, I don't want to ever be one because I think if I believe that of myself, I'll stop learning and trying new things. If one of you accidentally becomes an expert, I'll never take credit for it. ;)
Friggin rights he did! After watching your videos it gets me motivated to work on my 1g talon
Learned a lot from your blueprint videos, great content. Bought proper tools and successfully rebuilt a 22re for my 4runner the thing runs like a dream so thanks for putting this stuff out there.
Nice job! I'm a former 22R owner myself. Never got all fancy with fuel injection... but damn I miss that truck.
WOOOOOOO NEW JAFFRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Full screen baby!
Noticed this video before work this morning, had to wait the whole day to watch...
Man that hurts... I've been there. I get it. Thank you Heimo!
Cracking video again! Helping me with tips and tricks to build my forged evo 5 engine! Keep up the good work!
It's always a good thing when Jafro drops a video!
Jafro needs to move to a beach in Western Australia.
Man! This video is a master piece and a master class! Huge congrats!
It blew my mind! 😱
It's a long video, but I ll watch it again for sure. I have learned a ton.
Jeffro I wish you a million miles of happiness out of these ten+ years in the making and still chasing perfection and horsepower and let's not forget reliability
I've learned so much from you Sr. Thank you for all of your videos
YOU ARE BACK!!!!! THANK GOD
I was so hoping it was going to go from dry to full assembly this video. But being meticulous and wanting it all perfect as can be is the best way. Keep on it jafro the gsx will live again
You me same! Arrrrgh! I'm gonna get this...
@@Jafromobile you'll get there soon enough. Then after this is completed time for some colt or galant work maybe. seeing as the biggest behavior modifier on the Hyundai is now completed
@@rallyartman621 You know we have to keep having fun with the Hyundai though. It's awfully hard not to after something like this. I was just standing in the driveway hovering over the Galant. Contemplating a body shop twofer.
@@Jafromobile full restoration on the galant perhaps? Maybe the Hyundai could possibly be better looking even though its a sleeper to end them all or gasp maybe an lsd install ooo the possibilities
Once again, crazy amount of information of an engine type that I don't even own LOL. That said, the information about clearances can be applied widely, just using each engines own tolerances. And your "storytelling" is the best on TH-cam, by far! Can't wait for the next episode where we see more cleaning and measuring!
And again, Happy Birthday!
My hope is that we'll get right past that and right into the assembling part. It certainly all applies... I want the story to make all of you feel like you were here building it with me.
it's always a great day when Jafro uploads a new video
What a weekend, first project Binky in Colour! then a Jafro video. Satisfying like a this old tony video. :)
It's good to see how OCD can be a superpower. Great vids. Keep it up.
Keep up the fantastic work.
I love your videos Jafro, was hoping for a update video soon and it had to be today when i have not much time. Gotta watch this another day.
This is your reminder. ;)
Watching Jafro makes me feel better about having to rebuild my 2-stroke dirt bike engine. All bearings are ball, roller, or needle - if they're new they're good. There's only 4 bearings anyway. Check end gap, make sure piston has no missing chunks. Piston on rod, jam the barrel over it, head on that, tighten 5 nuts. Pipe on, carburetor on, fuel line on, fresh plug. Get a big boot and kick. Do accidental 3rd-gear wheelie. Argue with neighbors about the noise and smoke. Done.
Rear main seal!! I've had my block off stand twice and keep forgetting it as well! I appreciate your info, and been referring to you since before the debacle on tuners in 09 ... always appreciate ur detail!
There was a 2009 debacle? Was that the server upgrade/archive? Those were tumultuous years for me and some things are hard for me to remember because of where my focus went. I turned over all my new leaves and rediscovered myself. That's also the year I started doing this.
That battery relocation thread is still favorited on my account!!! lmao yup because of you I have a monster overflow can and I've been a fan since make that gsx great again 👍
Dude.... Eriatarka by The Mars Volta. You just keep getting cooler and cooler, Jafro.
Love the video. So detailed and a little OCD, simply Wonderful as usual
As always... great content!
BOM, Jafro, and Patey all uploaded this weekend. What good deed did I do to deserve such luxuries?
Anyone checked on PEG? If only... That would be the best birthday present ever!
The beach towels of coffee filters. Lmao. Yea. Those r huge. Nice
I watched it this morning on patreon and guess what? Imma watch it again. Thank you jafro, your meticulous attention to detail and patience motivated me to get my built boosted honda back on the road. Today actually... keep doin you bro
Thanks Patrick! So it's 24 hours later... how's that thing doin'?
@@Jafromobile great so far! It has a full exhaust now, and the next steps are breathers from block and valve cover, fuel corrections with hondata, and push lock lines to the waste gate.
I have been a subscriber for longer than I can remember. You do amazing work. I'm glad you are still making videos. I'm even more happy that they are about 4g63's
Thanks, for sharing the video, Jafro
Thank you for the shoutout Jafro! Been watching your awesome videos for years, cheers bud!
Dude... You are a LEGEND.
“Weight in mols” nice touch!
Nice detailed video
The tendrils from those wash mitts make really good flies.
Hmmmmm.... [Mr. Burns finger tap gesture] Interesting... I can see how well that would work...
Wow you’ve been building this DSM for a long time!
Really I was building a different one. But yes. Also correct!
this is the only place I will ever go for thoroughness...
I love this channel. It's made me a better builder
ah, a new video from the channel that gave me the confidence to do valve jobs for pay.
Sweet! I didn't just throw fish at you! You will eat well my friend!
@@Jafromobile seriously tho, thanks for taking putting all this on the internet for us millennials, we need it.
@@onogrirwin Wow, that's a powerful comment. Because I understand a whole lot more than what you said. I'm doing everything I can to reach your generation in a constructive way. I watched the forums drying up and facebook eating all facts, logic and reason and decided I needed something more powerful. Never had this discussion openly. If you put food on your table and felt the value of your own hands building something, I succeeded. Thank you.
Jafromobile Exactly this. I've had 2x 4G63's, 1x 3SGTE, 2x EJ255's and can confirm forums are pretty dry for all of them. Links to guru content are either broken or images are gone. Even if you spend many hours researching a topic and then take the time to post on the forum you may never get a response and if you do it's never really good feedback or advice.
Hmm maybe I should create a website dedicated to all car groups like this where information, tech write ups, etc. are archived and stored forever. Sounds too ambitious but one can dream.
@@maker000 Some good subaru info can be found at Subi Performance. He doesn't have rojo del chocolate, but he knows a lot about EJs.
im that 9,3% for years. I love your channel and information. And this channel is exactly the reason why i will not build my engine myself even if HP academy says that i can :D
so much love Jafro!
Miss you Jafro. Hope your work isn’t jacked up like some. Hope you are healthy and happy. Your fans miss you and care about you. Hope to see you shortly, but will wait as you are worth waiting for. Not all on this medium are. Stay safe and be careful.🙂👍🏻😷
What’s up man..... just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your vlogs.... I personally love my DSM... I have a 97 eagle talon tsi, just got her out of a 5 year hibernation, trying to get her back on the road.
If you're not on Patreon, come back tomorrow for this video's sequel. ;)
keep it up these videos are definitely going to help me for when i build my 1g awd eagle talon. i think 500 hp is plenty thanks for what you are doing.....
Jafro! with added Mars Volta 🤘🤘
Thanks Jafro !
Good video man! 👍🏻
such an awesome series to watch over the years. it really drove home to me that i'd rather pay someone else to do this because i clearly can't handle this process on my own. I hope to do such an in depth build on my own but for now i'll settle with watching these awesome vids.
When you venture deeply into the performance category, your tool budget takes a hit. If you go... like... medium into it? Yeah, it's not like this at all. I didn't start out building an engine like this. I went medium into it. The stuff that was deep, I paid someone to do that for me the first time. No regrets. The key is to set attainable goals. You'll keep winning and setting bigger ones like it ain't no thang. Next thing you know, you'll be wasting away in your garage shooting TH-cam videos.
Love the content. Cant wait to finish my 5g mirage 64 swap. This videos always find a way to motivate me. thank you so much!!
awww yisssss! Coupe?
@@Jafromobile oh yeah 😎
Really makes me wish there was a dsm wiseman like jafro near me. Great vid as always !
Thanks for the content.
2:05 - Is that some gojira I hear? you truly are a man of culture jafro.
I'll be front and center watching them here in my home town on November 1st!
@@Jafromobile Hell yeah. i wish they would come around these parts.
Their music is really unique and well composed.
Welcome back
45:54 I went to subscribe and found out I was already subscribed. You make the best content I've seen for this type of stuff man.
you have the right feeling to built an engine a little tip if you want..the Crush point of the bearings always changes the measurment if tighten the bolts more than 2 times...and the plastigauge always gone on the rods even when you tighten the rod better buy some dial gauge will make your life better and less nervous..and king bearings are more accurate in taper try them
Look at you with that fire edit on the torque plate numbers, you just flexing all your skills this video I see xD
Love your videos man
Omg I just realized I’ve been subbed to this channel since 2008 lol I love the content you put out, always full of knowledge
Did I start in 2008? I thought it was 2009... You mean it's been 12 years?
Jafromobile man you’ve been out here for a long time lol, I think I started watching when you started working on the colt if my memory doesn’t serve me wrong
@@jpkillah1 You're totally right. And I do remember you being there. Back when I made short Standard Def videos because TH-cam wouldn't let me do anything else. I bought the Colt 2 years before I started the channel, and I was building it anyway... It was only supposed to be 2 cars. You know the whole rest of the story. The channel's success has been an accident and a blessing, and it appears to me that you've been a trend setter.
Jafromobile oh man I’m shocked you even remember me from back in those days lol, you sure have been an influence on how I approach the projects I’ve done and mind you most of them have been Honda’s and the only “dsm” I’ve ever worked on was a Evo 8 mr and believe it or not your channel has helped me immensely on getting that car done and understanding how a 4g63 works so for that thank you
Whoa, MELVINS shirt. You got extra points this episode.
great video very interested
YES! More Jafro!!
been subed for 3 years now i think. getting ready to do my evo myself. going with a 2.3
My best advice is that you should be prepared for long delivery times and machinists who keep your equipment for a year at a time each time you see them for something. I like my machinists, but I'm about to go collect my equipment and drive to Florida with it. Work is not getting done. My entire life is on hold because of it.
Another informative and entertaining one Jafro. I thought I knew the feeling of having to repeat the tedious task over and over again with the Minibishi, but this definitely takes the cake. Keep up the hard work and I hope to run against this at the strip some day, be it the shootout or somewhere else.
Man, that would be awesome! When this car works again, it will be impossible to keep me out of it.
Awesome video, as always. If you have a moment, you should make a short (5 min) video where you detail your learning resources (books, channels, websites, etc.).
Many things learned. Most surprising is during a quarentine coffee filters are plentiful.
More videos please thanks brother
i could never build an engine because of you LoL Love your vids!
(Hyundai-free means blurring it out in driveway, too🤣)
It was difficult, hard work to do that, thank you! I was laughing the whole time, but I kept my promise!
Lol, it was blurred and I thought that it was shaking in anger at having another car receive Jafro's attention.
Hey Jafro I used to work at GRP rods, we made aluminum rods for super high horsepower applications from 4 cylinders all the way up to top fuel. We did not dowl the rods together we cut teeth between the cap and rod that stuck together just right. I know not that helpfull in your case but just thought id share! Thanks for the videos man.
Watching this video is both informative and terrifying. There is no way in hell my machine shop does this as thoroughly as you and even you have things that are still off. How can I trust them!? How can I trust myself!? Building my motor and doing my best to be precise as possible and learn as I go. Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge, I have many sleepless nights ahead.
About camera focus-
CCD thrive on IR absorbency to get a RAST and edge
of perception. If a surface is too blingy,
it will scatter rather than reflect; too dark-
you get _refraction_. Putting an IR absorbent
substrate in the path (hand) will change focus.
Ambient temperature and humidity of a substrate
will also effect focus length.
Yes, I figured that out with the old camera. It had MUCH BETTER focus routines than this one. Better sensors, bigger lens, just not 4K. I miss using it. But even it had problems with shiny things because the IR would bounce off and reflect the distance to the thing in the reflection.
instant like, as usual. i really hope my spinal cord heals, i want to built my 2015 mitsubishi mirage, suspension, rims/tires, turbo, custom exhaust. custom body stiffening like custom strut tower brace or custom rear tower brace. i wanna do it so bad. the moment i heal and get walking again, im gonna go ham! i love these videos because #inspiration. keep up the fantastic work my man.
