Ok, Must be a a lowport thing not having it,

I wonder if it would be beneficial to/possible to add one to my build? anyone got an idea if it will fit, does it take place of the bare crank bearings in the lowport Sr?

Click to expand...

They come in the old non roller lowports too, I think it's just an 8cw thing. They can be used with the main bearing caps but you jeed longer studs to suit

well the *hx bearings range have larger clearances of 0.001" over the middle size nissan bearing they are based on, like I said I'd hope for better numbers but its your engine :)

If i was building a 300hp+ DET i would measure everything properly. A little slackness in a hot running, abused engine isn't always a bad thing.
Good luck with the build dude.
 
Had a few hours tinkering with the lump today got the pistons and rods in the block and them all torqued and angled up..

then had to go get some rubber O-rings as the one I had put aside for the oil pump had gone missing.. I had wanted to get the pump and chain on and also the oil pans but that will have to wait till tomorrow.
 
had another few hours on it today..

I bought Hallys old head that he and dale converted to non roller rocker to rape it for its lovely BC springs and titanium retainers also the rocker stoppers will come in handy..

so I ripped it apart with the old spring compressor

having salvaged those bits I moved onto the S14 head it has had a 3 angle valve head job done on it and I added a small radius to the sharp edges on the cylinder head to try and cut down on hot spots on the edges..

after another session with the spring compressor I had an S14 head with newly refinished valves seals and uprated springs and retainers..

also got the oil pump and water pump bolted up..

I checked the valve seal against the head with white spirit..
