badchild Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Hi just pulled a 1300 xflow out of the garden and into the shed today and got it freed because it was ceased up, i tipped a bit of waste oil down and managed to turn the flywheel and get it turning free enough. if it had of been a normal engine i would have scrapped it but its a 711m thats had a lot of work done to it but its been sittin under a cover for 2 years. What sort of things would need replacing? Piston rings? Liners? Cheers Ryan
Toby Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Unlikely liners as they're not fitted as standard. Possibly just a hone, possibly a re-bore, cam might have suffered too. But to be honest who knows. Only way to tell, is tear it all appart.
badchild Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 looks like shes coming apart then ive always wanted to learn a bit about engines so fook it no time like the present, better get the big hammer out
Toby Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Some boxes for the parts might be better! And a torque wrench for all the bolts on re-assembly.
bmxdave Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 And a torque wrench for all the bolts on re-assembly. Dont forget that! Ive noticed a lot of people are very lax on torqueing things up.
Toby Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Ive noticed a lot of people are very lax on torqueing things up. And good at snapping things off!!
Admin Mk2Jo Posted March 27, 2008 Admin Report Posted March 27, 2008 I always thought it was standard practise to have a few bolts left over
Toby Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 I always thought it was standard practise to have a few bolts left over Shoulder screws!! Or is it a weight thing?
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Ive noticed a lot of people are very lax on torqueing things up. And good at snapping things off!! Would that be me??? In my defence, I torqued everything up (except my wheelnuts ), but someone had got there before me and overtightened certain bolts, which led to threads stretching and eventually shearing when I put it all back together Oh and yes, rip it apart mate. BTW, don't forget to mark your mains & big end caps 1,2,3,4 (5), number one being the front of the engine, and don't mix and match your bearing shells either. Put it all back as it came apart
badchild Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 Just bought a haynes manual there so ill wait til it arrives an get stuck in, oh and stock up on big hammers ive always wanted to learn about engines so why not
