Wildout's D-Series Motor Rebuild
So it begins once again, this time I'm rebuilding my spare SI motor. Three reason's why I'm doing this. First the current CX motor burns too much oil for my liking. I no longer change oil, I just top it up with every gas fill up, yes it burns that much.
Second reason, I want to build a D-series motor, why you ask...just cuz. :) Third, I have two d-series motors laying around in my garage so why not, also this motor will be seeing low boost at the end of summer. Aiming for around August/September. Once again I will be doing all the motor work myself and will have Graham at Canadian Cylinder Head do the machine work. The machine work will consist of: -hone cylinder walls -micropolish crank -valvejob The parts I plan to replace regardless of condition are: -all the gasket's, so I'll be purchasing a engine gasket kit. -valve seals -piston rings -timing belt -rod bearings, main bearings & thrust washers -rod bolts So far the only thing that has been done, is that the engine is remove from the car and the intake and exhaust manifold's have been removed. I will be taking pics along the way once again, but this time I will show everyone exactly how long it takes from start to finish. Any questions, statements (smartasspho) or whatever just post. Anyone has any request for pictures of certain things just ask. Pricing for the parts and pictures will be added later on tonight. P.S. This motor will be done before Fuzzy's. :willy: |
you have to be kidding...im in the process of building a turbo eg right now. but im doing b series.

whoooooooooooo thas dirty! i member when a friend had a turbo D series thing would brake loose in 3rd gear............
haha be done b4 fuzzy wuzzy.... lol jamacian time. that still cant be any better then indian time. LOL. |
good luck t, so you and fuzzy now have a race to see who's done first!
|
Excellent.....excellent.
I knew you'd do it. The BUILD RACE is on!! |
are you gonna use the HX/CX exhaust manifold as the turbo manifold. It will save you $$$ all you need is a flange ;)
Only hard part is actually sourcing the part. I think the canadians only got the CX, but in the US they got the HX as well so their odds are double ours. Th d16A6 is a strong motor, i've heard lots of stories about how strong they are for boost. Or you can go Mini Me. SOHC VTEC D16y8 head on a D16A6... but that would take too much time and money. |

You can sell $580 worth of stuff off the car, then put $2007 into it!
DO IT! |
LOL
There's nothing on the car to sell, but my remote start and I'm not doing that. What are the rules, I can't find them on the site. I have a lot of spare parts in my garage, am I allowed to use them? |
Found the rules, there's no way I'll make the $2007 budget, if I have to include labour fee's into the budget. Same with the parts I have laying around.

http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/cha...07scoring.html I'll bring some back issues next time if you want ot read up on it some more. DO IT!!!! |
^bah, i'm in no rush, my car still runs fine. :finger:
|
Just be creative! I'll buy your parts for $10 each and re-sell them to ya ;)

HHmmm, that's sneaky. I'll guess we'll find out, I'll keep a detailed budget of everything I purchase. Forsure this motor won't take me long to build. |

Roughly 2hrs of work. Attachment 21286 Attachment 21287 Back to work, now onto disassembling the head Cam Plate Removed Attachment 21288 Rockers Removed Attachment 21289 LMA's (Lost Motion Assembly) Removed http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._8784Small.jpg Cam Holder...LOL Attachment 21290 Almost there, only the valve springs, retainers and valve keepers left. Attachment 21291 Ever wondered what it looks like when people tell you that your valve seals are gone and that's the reason your burning oil. Well take a look. The rubber is suppose to be snug up against the valve stem with no gap, but in these to pics you can clearly see the gap. Attachment 21292 Attachment 21293 The result is that the oil runs down the valve stem onto the valve. Just take a look, see how wet the valves are. Attachment 21294 How the Exhaust valves look in comparison Attachment 21295 Now take a look into the head, see how wet inside is from the leaky valve seals Attachment 21296 Attachment 21297 Attachment 21298 Attachment 21299 Attachment 21300 Head all taken apart Attachment 21301 Attachment 21302 Attachment 21303 How I kept everything organized Attachment 21304 Attachment 21305 Next is a cleanup of all the parts, then onto the machine shop they go. |
Damn you! you're already ahead of me in my build. i'm waiting for my ARP hardware to show up at my door before i send my bottom end out to the machine shop. it's been almost 3 weeks. i should've got me one of those parts organizers too. i have a feeling Dave and I are gonna be hunting down alot of silly little parts.

nice job, T. |
that spun bearing looks like the one we pulled out of scotts old block. the rod bearings on cylinder 3 were stacked on top of one another. they were like tin foil.
|
yeah tin foil pretty well sums it up.
I'm currently looking for another D-series 1.6 crank, I don't want to risk it. If anyone has one let me know. |
what about the one from the other motor? different stroke?
|
t has inspired me to finally tackle a motor build down...mine is just gonna take me a long ass time...either ls-v, or ls-t....
|
Great stuff Trenell. You need to come up my way soon... Amanda will want to see the new addition before he's off to school :P

Yeah anytime. I didn't want to bug you with the young one being born recently, was just waiting to see to post on here or honda-tech.com as a sign that you have some spare time. Now that I know we can talk about finishing up my b-series project ;) |

$1200 over 6 months Machine Work $400 Parts $400 Random ---- $400 |
Actually I just redid the budget and it's gonna be under $600 easily.
Anyways the block, head and new crank without a spun bearing has been sent off to the machine shop. Updates should come within 2 weeks. |
