I’m thinking about doing this what do you guys think? Since I’ve been watching his build. It’s a full set of modules dedicated to the 4g63 and the instructor is building it for reliability and performance purposes down the line.I came across...
Ok sounds good I will have to take all of that into effect. Just see how much it would be to repolish and the bearings. If not I think it be best to order a new one
It depends on the condition of your current one and what your build goals are. If you aren't looking to build big hp and the current crank journals are descent, you can probably keep it and just have the journals polished. This will require new...
Not sure if your friend is still advising you to save money/time by not having the block machined, but it's vital. Not only does the block need to be cleaned of all metal and decked to ensure it is true (perfectly flat), but the cylinder walls...

So I removed the pistons finally after so much work. The first piston had a stuck ring. It looks like it was grinding on the cylinder. And the third piston was pretty much stuck onto the crankshaft… I think I’m going to just get a...
If a cylinder head is bolted to the engine and cams are installed you should not rotate the crank without a properly timed belt. If cams are out all valves should be closed and it no longer matters.
Update: 5/11/24So I got a question that I’ve been meaning to ask. Does it matter if I just remove the timing belt because obviously I need to remove it and replace it when everything is said and done but I need to move the crankshaft to get the...
Based on the oil pan pic, you have a spun bearing or something really messed up. If you're lucky it's just the balance shaft bearing.Your friend is not giving you good advice. No amount of cleaning will fix it. Tear that thing down and figure...
UPDATE: 5/5/2024So I finally took off the head and even bought a work bench from Harbor Frieght! It was on sale so I said why not. With that being said I have been marking everything down and putting in containers while also recording for...
I would steer clear of the undercoating. If you find scratches in the engine bay or chipped paint you can get touch up paint and then clear coat over it and that will protect the metal way better than undercoating. Pretty much all aerosol under...
Do NOT use that rubberized coating for the engine compartment, if that was your question.The textured surface will hold all kinds of dirt and look eternally dirty. In addition, if water were to get underneath a crack or nick in the coating...
So someone would have to hold the crank with a 1/2 bar so it doesn't rotate the crank? While someone else unbolts the drive plate adapter.Yeah I ended up not doing it I did clean it thoroughly, primed it and repainted it instead with engine...
So I removed the torque converter and the flex plate is stuck to it but how do I remove the other part behind the plate?Do I have to remove it to put it on an engine stand?
UPDATE: 4/9/2024So I removed the transmission this morning! I found out that there was two transmission bolts missing that attach to the engine so whats new.. 😅 I'm sure I can find replacement bolts for it I hope. I also think I found out the...
Thank you guys for the fast response! I will remove the transmission and then mount it the way you guys are telling me to! I'm proud to be part of an amazing group of DSMers :)
