Boring out the walls

[guwakjai010]

how much and how long does it usually take to bore out cyclinder walls from 75 to 75.5mm? i live in philly, so does anyone kno any places there that does that?
OR is there ANYway i can do it myself... just thought i should ask

 

[toneekay]

usually itll take the shop 2-3 days until they finish.

 

[guwakjai010]

i got a deal on srp 75.5 and eagle rods.... but my block is stock bore... so if ic an't get it done quick or cheap, imma need to sell those and get vitaras...

 

[mosaic_hardflip]

yah about 2-3 days

 

[toneekay]

if you find a local shop, and have them put it on "rush" they can usually get it back to you the next day, but itll cost a whole lot more..

i found a place over here that quoted me $250 for 16valve heads, pnp. $200 bore .5mm over + $50/.25mm after, also another $100 to clean polish. if you like, you can send your stuff over here and i can get it done for you lololol.

i wont jack you

 

[guwakjai010]

no its not really price that matters... but tis just that ihave no time at all... i wouldn't have a car if the motor is out... i was trying to do everything within 3 days... pull it, rebuild it, put it all back in.... just a hassle... i have no room for downtime... i have work and stuff..... Toneekay where are u located? lol

might jsut sell the SRPs and just get vitaras....

 

[toneekay]

if you ask them if they can rush you, (put you ahead of other people for money) then they can get it back within a day. it should only take you about 8hrs at most, putting everything back together and into the bay by yourself..


i stay in, dallas, TX

 

[guwakjai010]

dam dallas. hahha.... well i need to keep searching for a shop... i don't even kno how to search for one... like yellowbook or w/e dunno wat to search/look for lol.... i'm a noob when it comes to the machine shop stuff... i only kno how to build

 

[mike@synapse]

pay ahead of time tell them you want to drop the block off a particular morning, and that it needs to be done end of day. money talks

 

[toneekay]

i use www.switchboard.com just go into the search field and type in something like AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE SHOP with your city and state.. usually itll pull up if theres some around there, if not then.. well, i guess your gunna have to get it shipped out ;P

not going to happen, just the way it is

i can do my part in 1-2 days... just the machine part thats the problem.. but anyways... decided to go wit vitaras.... no down time and i can sell the srp pistons and make some money off of it...

anyone wanna buy 75.5 D16a srp pistons?

But, is your cylinders within range to use 75mm pistons? Without too much wall clearance? IMO, I would get the .50 over pistons and have the block bored and honed according to your application(ie..boosting, NA, just stock,...).

i'm not even sure... i would use the .50 over and get it bored out.. but i have no time and i need this build.... working sucks.... i'm still deciding to see wat imma do

 

[dc5kid]

well i would say toss the whole idea in the trash.. you cant just buy s**t and pray that everything is just gunna work out... first of all, depending on how many miles are on your engine (probably alot), you will most definetly need to get the block honed because i garuntee that the bore will not be spotless.. you need to take a week or more off or rent a car or something. this is just a reciept for disaster.

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

How about this, get your self another block and slowly work on that.

^^^^^^

why are you wantin to make you cylinder walls thinner? if your runnin boost you would want it as thick as possible. why not trade someone for some stock bore pistons?
