What type of solvent did you use to clean the crankshafts?
Hi Kevin, on aluminum parts and especially heads, I never use any rotary
tools, wire brushes, etc. All the cleanup was done by hand. I mentioned
this in the video.
just started this video, but i really hope a wire brush was never used on
thes parts…
Hi Diamond and hope you’re doing well. Just send me your email address to
my inbox here on YouTube and I’ll send you a PDF of the drawing showing the
dimensions.
do you have the measurement for the bracket to hold the crankshaft sprocket
in place? If so, would you email the details? or will you ship one if I
paypal you?
For the viewers that have already seen this video, I wasn’t happy with the
torque method that I used on the crankshaft bolt. I designed and built a
bracket to hold the sprocket in place so that I could torque the bolt
properly. I reshot the video so that you could see what I did and to make
this video more complete. Therefore, I reuploaded this video. For the
viewers who have already seen this video and would like to see this method,
you can go to 15:51 on the timeline. Thanks for watching!
Ok, that explains why the oil filter looks new in the end so you have
changed the oil and filter too:). I’m planning to do a timing belt change
in the summer and these videos are very helpful.
Ahhhh…you’re very observant. Yes, I changed the oil and filter as I
didn’t want any sludge to get pumped back up into the lifters since I had
cleaned them. You should be fine on the timing belt change and you might
want to consider changing the idlers, tensioner and water pump while you’re
in there. You can get the whole kit I believe for about $110. Your price
may vary though. Thanks for watching Giz!
Making a tool to help you do the job right can be a pleasant interlude, as
long as you aren’t on a deadline or a flat rate. You made this one look
easy.
Hi Dave! Yes, I was going to call it quits on that crankshaft bolt, but it
really bugged me about not knowing for sure what the torque was with an
impact tool. I’m glad that I made the tool and as you said, it was SOOOO
easy at that point. Thanks for watching Dave.
