fahr_side Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Old EJ205s were wide open, but they had much thicker liners... 5th gen EJ255 is semi-closed like the 4th gen.

kzr750r1 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ok, I have found another machine shop that works on Subaru heads every day. In Hayward as well. Will be going over to the east bay on Monday and collect my parts. Pay for the work completed and move on to the next shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzr750r1 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Block is back, decked .005 ish and haven't checked their work on the bores yet. Need to do that and check ring gap. Heads are over at Robs Auto. Expectation is to time-sert all four spark plug hols at 25 bucks a piece. Heads will be back in my hands by the end of the week ready to install... Famous last words.

fahr_side Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I just finished my 1,000km break-in, changed to my usual Redline 10W-40 and reverted to my usual 1.25bar map. If anything the motor is actually quieter now than on the stuff I used for break-in. Nice to be back to full power...

kzr750r1 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Good to hear your break in is over and running smooth fahr_side. Will be building the short block only this weekend. Exhaust Valves are questionable, punt on those IMO. Exhaust guides replaced, new exhaust valves on order. Should expect the heads back by Wednesday. Want to at minimum get them bolted to the short block before I disappear for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ok all bores measured 4 times each at 1" and 2" between 12 and 3 o clock positions. Pretty much any difference was .001 to .0005 at a average of 3.921" Pistons are 3.918". We have hit the .0035 to .004" average. Cool beans. Now the ring gap is a bit perplexing. Manley is calling for .005 to .0075"... Depending on boost for top and second ring. Oil Ring Rail spec is .015". I'm getting wider at 1" ish in the bore. Top .008 to .010 Second .010 Oil rings .015 to .017 top .027 to .029 It's almost like I have the wrong rings or I'm measuring at the wrong place... Will do it again at different depth midday tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Calling Manley in the morning... Make sure I get this control ring on the right way for one... Only marking is the TS3927 and there is a groove cut on the cylinder side. Looks to me like groove down. But must be sure. This would make the PN marking up. Second is these gaps. Just read through one thread on NASIOC pissing about Total Seal with one piston showing damage. Inconclusive why so far. Couldn't pipe into the conversation for some reason. Don't know the secret handshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Doh! Glad I called. Instructions are clear. I'm not reading them right. Gap recommendation is BORE X .006" = .023" for medium boost application. Oil scraper is just Minimum .015 called out. No Max. Looks like I need to rig up a file in the vice and get to cutting these rings down .014 to .016". Crank and rods are assembled waiting for the rings to be prepped then I'll put this together.

kzr750r1 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Heads are done will pick them up today. I'm nowhere near ready to prep these gaps by hand with a file. Looking at a summit tool for about 50 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzr750r1 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Unfortunately this is where I have stall for one full month. I will only have time to spend with my daughter before getting on the road for November. After Saturday I will have two days at home this month. All good cause I stack up some OT in the process and stoke the fire some more. Will be going full force in December. Nothing but fear and common sense to get in my way.

kzr750r1 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ordered this from Summit today. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRO-66785 Picked up an extra wheel as well just in case. Looking forward to getting the motor build back on track. Have the girl next weekend. Looking forward to hanging out with her. The two days I had with her early this week was too short. Surely will get some time off after so I can get this block back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Let me know if you need another set of hands on a weekend for the next 2 weeks. I have nothing to do at school and would be more then happy to come help out! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
