Basic Engine Building DVD - Chapter 17: Pistons

By this section you'll be ready to remove the pistons, starting with the rod caps. You'll also get to see the crankshaft, rod bearings and journals for the first time and inspect them for damage as they come out. Great tips on protecting the cylinder bore while removing the pistons and connecting rods. We don't recommend using a ridge reamer to make this easier. As your block will need to go the a machine shop anyway. They are likely to damage your cylinder walls and are hard to use.

BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts. The Basic Engine Building DVD is over three hours of engine building that covers everything from removal and disassembly to final assembly and engine start-up. This is the ultimate DVD for any home mechanic or engine enthusiast that wants to see a complete rebuild from Teardown to Start-Up. This video can be used to learn how to work on almost any type of internal combustion engine including V8, V6, Straight 8, in-line 6 and even 4 cylinder engines. All of the interactive features and menus will not work over YouTube.

This video is great for people interested in car repair, car care, and restoration. As well as hot rods, muscle cars, performance parts, and boosting horsepower. It can also help you to gain knowledge for increasing fuel economy, how to lower your emissions, and covers preventative maintenance to avoid little things like overheating.

  • The machine shop ...

    The machine shop can measure the crank journals with a micrometer and let you know whether it is reusable, machinable, or junk. One worst case scenario for most engines crankshafts is when the crank has been previously cut on either main or rod journals at 0.030. This is the absolute limit for most cranks as engine bearing manufacturers don't make bearings any larger than 0.030 oversize.
    If your 0.030 over crank journal is damaged, the crank is likely junk.

  • In a stock engine ...

    In a stock engine rebuild or a build-up that you would like to get some longevity out of, we'd agree not to re-use pistons.

    However, many engine builders pull apart performance engine on a regular basis (such as drag racers who change internal pieces such as bearings regularly). In cases where the engine has only been run for a short time or a couple hundred to a couple thousand miles of use, often it's perfectly ok to re-use pistons. They absolutely must pass inspections though...

    I love my car sooo much, that i would rebuild the engine to make it last that much longer. Plus if you want to make some nice power you can add in performance parts when you rebuild it. Just two of the reasons i would rebuild my engine.

  • Most people have ...

    Most people have engines rebuilt because the piston comes up at an angle, and gradually widens the bore in the cylinder, and then the petrol will go into the sump thus making the engine gradually inefficient. That's just one reason.

  • when at that point ...

    when at that point (where you have removed the cyl head) it is best to remove all pistons and inspect the block + replace all piston rings (it only does good to the engine) + measuring the cylinders to see if the have become oval or if its been bored before (which is the case where u use oversised rings),if i where to do that i would remove the crankshaft first rather than trying to removethe pistons like that.anyways nice technique though..i didnt know this way.cheers.

  • the ridge reamer is ...

    the ridge reamer is a bad tool if you dont know what you are doing. I set the reamer against the piston to keep it square. Only a flat top piston lol. not a wedge does a pretty good job of removing that ugly edge if you are careful. remove as little as possible! great vid
