    I'm an old steam turbine mechanic on a nuke ship where accuracy is critical - you are pretty awesome at attention to detail fitting bearings. I'm a bit jealous as I never had a clean area nor much room to do it - just a deck plate to lay everything out on. LOLOL!! Great, great video.

      I used to be an inspector for aerospace components, so accuracy with precesion measuring tools is a must 🙌 sometimes people are cool with plastic gauge but I could never trust it 😅
      The deck works though! 💪

    30:38 if you quickly bolt up the flywheel and use it as a stand it really helps steady the crank while you’re tightening the rods down.

    I doubt I'd be personally doing this myself but it's still great to know more of how it works and what SHOULD be done even if it's just to ask people how/what they did to a car you might buy, not to mention to query sketchy mechanics.

    Very good job! I know you like outfront they do good work, just one thing you should know, they only do a mainline hone not bore, which follows the existing line of the mains, until the clean them up for roundness & target size.
    A mainline bore would be reestablish og the datum of mainline & boring them to target size, typically you would cut .005” of each case halve then remove .010” while boring mainline, then bore rear main seal back to size. Will be a straight/round/true mainline & you can run tighter main bearing clearence .0015” +/-.0001” for 600+whp for sub 500whp can run as tight as .001” & have amazing oil pressure & lower oil temps ect for road racing. I ran a 10mm oil pump on single AVCS seeing 70psi hot oil pressure at 8k rpm & had great oil temps, at willow springs. I live in desert. For daily/drag stuff line hone is fine. Only couple shops do line boring on these, person who did my previous motors doesn’t do public work anymore.
    I really want to get a 4axis mill & sunnen engine hone, along with a sunnen 1804/1660 hone for rods, ect at home just so I can machine blocks, do fluid heater & also use block heaters to machine everything at operating temp! That’s where it will become race team level machining

    Great content as always Tanner. As for rod bolts experience has always made me lean towards bolt stretch rather than bolt torque alone. I have found on numerous occasions that when the bolts don't reach their proper yield point that they can back out at times and that's always a big hazard. Seeing as doing bolt stretch is not so much of a hassle, I see it as a very good precautionary measure.

      I purchased a IAG tuff short block and had a shop I thought was a IAG certified shop do my build. My engine lasted 700 miles and suffered catastrophic failure from normal break in driving. I contacted IAG. They had me ship the engine to them. They completely evaluated the engine and determined it was due to the shop reusing my old heads and not cleaning them properly which had shavings inside. IAG said I should have never used a shop that wasn’t certified to work on their engines. It was heartbreaking. They gave me 50% off on the next short block which was very generous. I spent $12,500 on the first build and the shop didn’t refund me any money. So I spent $14,000 on the 2nd build. It was a huge kick in the stomach but I love my car and I sucked it up and pushed forward. Tanner is very confident, skilled, passionate, persistent, motivated and inspiring. He’s helped many people gain the confidence and know how to do many things that are actually complicated steps but when done strategically they can come out just as good or better than a shop.

As I type this is up two days ago I did a compression test on my 04 sti and cylinder 4 has 10psi 😢so now I have to do a leak down test to see if it’s bottom end or heads I might be using your videos to build my engine, I have to find a local shop that would machine the short block I just don’t know if I should do this myself or have them do the pistons, rods, crank, piston, bearing, install etc. as I have never got to that part yet. You make it seem kinda easy 😅 I am in Canada by the way so not much options here. My results for compression test are :
    1. 121
    2. 120
    3. 90 Also low !! ?
    4. 10
    All dry tested might do a wet test. What are your thoughts ? For sure I need a new build engine, the car has 190k miles is US 2.5 L and did timing belt kit in April 2022. Any suggestions will be appreciated. From you or community. Thank you and God bless!

So bad head gasket ? And when I tested cylinder 3 air seem to scape from cylinder 4 ?? I am baffled!!

    Another banger of a video thanks doggie. Bro you should totally do a full build of a clean 04-08 forester or 05-09 outback xt. The outback xt are dope as hell and my favorite subaru ive ever had, but always wanted a forester which are sexy as well. Could you make it happen?

    I love how thorough you are but, man, metric is 1000x easier to use. 0.1mm is 0.00394 inches, which is easier to use? I made the same suggestion to Gingium on TH-cam, and surprisingly he switched!

    Great video.
    I’m planning on rebuilding a naturally aspirated all original 2.5 (2006) forester short block.
    Would I still need to carry out crank and case measurements if I was just replacing standard main and big end bearings (non-turbo/SOHC)?
    Motor has only done 210,000 Kms (120,000miles).
    Basically I have weeping (oil) original head gaskets and thought while I have the motor out, might as well do bearings and rings.
    Thoughts?

  • @Nultic
    @Nultic 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Do you recommend ATF or a thin oil coating on the bearing to rod/block when installing and checking clearances? I know some engine builders like a thin film of lubrication for that metal-metal contact. Specifically referring to Real Street. I imagine it's a very small detail that's probably engine builder specific.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've seen some people do it, it's not something that I've ever done. But I don't see it hurting anything to do it.

  • @TANKSINATRA289
    @TANKSINATRA289 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A question, but if you measure everything without putting lubricating oil, why do you measure the bands by putting the oil in the cylinder barrel first? The gaps you have to respect are measured with the lubricant or dry ??

  • @Borp56
    @Borp56 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    One critique I have is not de-burring the rings after you file them, or at least you didn’t show it. Running a file on your freshly cut edges is cheap insurance.

    I don't really understand the clearance thing, why measure everything just to take it apart? Shouldn't the upgraded or OE parts fit right in and run? Do the clearances have a functional purpose? And what if it's off would you have to order a new set?
