Three built motors in this pic. Mine in the front, Charley's (my350z member), and 'ol grandpa VH45 in the back.

Washing the anti corrosion coating off the bearings.


HIT A SNAG!
I began plastigauging from cylinder 6 all the way to the front, once I got to cylinder #2, I see this and see I have a scored bearing Now I gotta see if the machine shop can smooth this out for me or if I have to scrap the crank.

 

What ever happened to the VH swap? Last time i checked you were trying to sell it...

 

Eh... I've had tons of people interested in it. Most of them are just pipe dreamers, others are contemplating a VH/VK swap and just wanna pump me for information and the ones that were genuinely interested in the motor were typically not going to use it on a G35 and then expected a huge discount because they didn't need motor mounts or transmission and failed to realize that I was practically giving those things away. If I don't get what I'm asking for it, I'd rather stare at it in my garage. ...gives me a boner every time.

 

Had to perform surgery on the crank.


I took a dremel buffing bit and some compound and buffed out the scratch.

 

Good luck!

 

Motor fired right up. No fluid leaks but I do have a small vacuum leak coming from the plenum. I'll be replacing the gasket since its kinda beat up.

 

Update: 12,000 mi on the motor. 500+whp daily driven.

 

nice!!!! TECNI built FTW
