245 D24 tic build
Some teardown with the short block and a lot of cleaning :
all the pistons are 77.48 (third size ) and are in very good shape no traces of leaks under rings or something of this type:D the cylinders are good too with the eye except rust on the top part because of the long storage. the squirters are all good and here. just the n 6 that don't want to go out :( i don't want to break it if i bang him .:mad: next step will be to lighten and balance the pistons and conrods the head is nearly done here : http://d24t.com/showthread.php?670-H...-and-relatives http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_18500003.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_18510001.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_19230001.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_19230002.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_19240001.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...1_19240002.jpg |
How's this moving forwards? :)

Quite slow !
i'm on a d24 NA wich i'm going to present you soon. i 've dismantled the pistons / conrods assembly, cleaned up and as soon i v'e finished the D24 NA i will lighten the rods and touch up the pistons.;) i've retouched the head (combustion side) i will show very soon too. Thanks for your interest ! |
I agree with this guy ^^^

Here is a bit of what i did to the head after the ports job.

I didn't touch the exterior perimeter part because sharp angles here helps a lot to share turbulences during compression and give a better mix between fuel and air. a before and after shot : http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...DSCF1100-1.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...g/DSCF1153.jpg pistons will come next:D |

What are you planning to do to lighten the rods? I suppose the idea is to remove some material from each one? Are you planning on balancing the entire rotating assembly? Excellent work, and thank you for sharing. I saw a few of your videos on Youtube, well done. |

I try to share because those engines are so cool and not enough loved :p it motivate too ! About the conrods : i will remove material from the cap and from the pin bushing part (i don't know the name) But i will make the oil reserve bigger first and remove aroud. i will try to soften or remove the typical vein of the forging process and a bit of polishing. i will balance all of them of course and give them the same weight I don't know if the machine shop in town make the dynamic balancing i will have to see that following the wallet capabilities.... a set of main bearings is 250 euros yet + condors bearings 150 euros +gaskets etc.... i need a bore gauge to see if the block is really still good first :):) |
Funy, old post, but a frenchman as I am, and your pseudo have some parts of my name and surname ;-)
