s13 Sr20det build measurements
Hey guys so I'm almost done! Block is being machined and once I pick it up it's going to be assembled. Now this is where I am stuck. I ordered standard ACL main and rod bearings. I wanna get the measurements and clearances right so I don't spin one. What are my cleanrsnces for the rods and mains? I'm going to get a micrometer and such today. Also I'm reshimming the head as I'm not taking any chances at all!!

the workshop manual is on 240edge.com

im surprised you went for 9:5:1 pistons. and not 8:5:1 or 9:1:1

best to get some red and green plastigauge too.

You already ordered the bearings...
You'll need a bore gauge and micrometers, (not cheap digital calipers)

The clearances are in the FSM

theres a good writeup when I did a google search building mine...

how come you are putting DE pistons in a DET engine?

jedi03 · 01-03-2017, 09:22 AM

I think they are higher compression...

Nothing wrong with raising the compression a bit if using the right fuel and tuned properly.
