#KA24DE TIMING MARKS CRANK TRIAL#

When your block gets bored you can have the machine shop do this part aswell if your not comfortable doing it.ДЄfter doing all 8 rings in each cylinder its time to put the rings on the pistons and the pistons on the rods. WIth a ring filer you can watch the gauge and get it exact.

#KA24DE TIMING MARKS CRANK TRIAL#

This is a trial and error thing where if filing by hand you will have to file a little re-fit the ring than keep checking the end gap. Remove the piston and check the end gap with a feeler gauge as pictured.

Using the piston that will be installed into the cylinder your working with push the ring into place with the piston down to the wrist pin. Set the ring into the cylinder it will be installed on. You dont want to over size the gap either since you'll lose compression and start to blow oil. You need to have at least this so the ring (under heat expansion) does not butt ends causing a piston to crack. On turbo motors typically the top ring gap is. Both the top ring and the second rind must be file fit. This is a very tricky part and should be done with caution. Now the first thing that needs to be done is the rings need to be file fit. I have also studded the top of the motor as you can see in the picture. Now that we have the crank assymbally in we are ready to move on to the pistons and rods. YOU MUST USE ALL 10 WHEN TORQUING THE CRANK IN. Now that we know the tolerances are good we can lube the crank bearings and re-install the crankshaft.ДЄgain my crank is picture with 4 bolts only. If your out of factory specs the block will need to be line honed and over sized bearing will need to be used. You compare the thickness of the line it leaves with the marker pictured to see if it is within factory specs. The flash on the next picture blanked out the plasti-gauge mark so I drew it in. YOU MUST USE ALL BOLTS WHEN YOU TORQUE THE CRANK DOWN.)ДЄfter you have torqued the crank in place to factory specs remove all the bolts and carefully remove the crank making sure you do not spin it. ( I only used 4 bolts to torque the crank in.

You need to put one peice on each bearing and then install the crank and the girdle. Here is the plasti-gauge on the crank bearing. Torque should always be done to manufactures specs.) The oil squirters have also been installed. (I got 3 main studs that were wrong so those are not pictured. The block was bored and honed at the machine shop and hot tanked and is pictured with 1/2 of the crank bearings in and the main studs. Cleanliness is very important since any debris can cause problems at start up.

It is to be used in conjunction with a Factory Service Manual to guide you through your building experience.ДЇirst Make sure you have a nice clean area to work in. This pictorial guide will help you to assemble a KA24DE motor.
