Bhg vs worn rings vs valve guides - Page 2

Kuban · 04-19-2007, 08:26 AM

This is what jasper lists that comes with the remanufacture. This was done again like i said 30k miles ago.

"GRAPHITE COATED PISTONS:Graphite is a natural lubricant which helps
prevent dry start up and piston scuffing.
MOLY PISTON RINGS:Higher durability, reduce cyl. wall wear.
GRAPHITE HEAD GASKETS

liable material that does not tear when casting
expand and contract. Graphite gaskets transfer heat evenly and will
not deteriorate around water passages like Kevlar gaskets do.
VITON VALVE STEM SEALS:This material meters oil from the first running
of engine. Its design is extremely resisant to heat, oil additives and
abrasions. OEM PARTS INSTALLED
OEM REAR MAIN SEALS: Are made of Teflon material which will resist
heat and oil additives w/o damage.

It was I going on about the jasper engine because I thought of buying one for my na. But I don't know anyone that has one till now. And it seems he's not really thrilled. So I'll probably rebuild and then rebuild again.

Dont get me wrong, im still pleased with this engine. Even though this one isnt exactly up to par. The warrenty is gonna save my ass here. All the gas engines are warrented up to 3 year/75,000 miles standard. You cant go wrong. There was obvisouly something third party here that cause'd my engine to have a psychotic break down lol.

Do it right. Do it all. Or pay for it later, by doing it all over again.

Like i said. Jasper will take care of it from here. This is why i love jasper. I called them about an hour ago and this is how it went.

I called him told him about the rings being shot. Told him the comp numbers. And then he said this.

him "well what are you asking from me"
me "Im just curious what my options are"
him "are you asking for a new engine?"
me "is that one of my options?"
him "if you want it to be"
me "then if possible yea id like a new engine"
him "okay we can do that for ya"
me "awsome how soon do i have to wait"
him "umm let me check"
2 mins pass
him "i can have one delivered to you tomorrow"
me "are u kidding"
him "no, well deliver this one tomorrow, then you have 30 days to tell us when we can come pick up the old one for core"

So basically there giving me a whole new engine, on a one day turn around. All i have to do is give them my old one within 30 days. I thought this to be amazing. And thats complete remanufactered engine 100% fresh with the specs i listed previously.

Well that pretty much settles it.
If my build doesn't last I'll buy an engine from them.
I thought about it hard core and decided to rebuild the upper half of what I have.

You can't really beat there prices with the warranty and all. I would do this over JDM any day I have been telling people about this place for over a year.

It's nice to actually be in a forum where I know people are actually listening to me, lol.

mrnickleye: I wanted to ask about the rings. again because I'm paying to have my head rebuilt. not ported and polished just placed back to as close to oem as it can be made. Thanks for the responce. All of you. Thanks.

I know this is a day late and and a dollar short, but you didn't perform that compression test properly. You must hold the throttle wide open during the actual testing of the cylinder. I know your readings are all way too low anyways so in this case it didn't matter.

I can't believe that engine even ran.

I'm kind of curious as to how you think that holding the throttle wide open is going to have any affect on checking compression. It doesn't matter. A compression test is a compression test is a compression test. I don't need to hold the throttle open on any vehicle, let alone a third gen Supra to find out that it has broke/worn rings, or sticking valves. Pull the plugs, stick your compression gauge in, crank the engine with the fuel pump fuse pulled, and check what you get. The throttle has no affect on the cylinder's compression.

Wrong buddy. Yes it does matter. The throttle must be all the way open to get an accurate compression reading. Time to go back to tech school and learn how to perform diagnostic procedures correctly. Oh wait, did you even go to tech school? I doubt it.

Check any tech book or repair manual.

TSRM doesn't say it, but the haynes does. I don't trust the TSRM anymore anyway.

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't post, its that simple. I know what I'm talking about because I was taught by a professional, not some hack who doesn't pay attention to details.
