Check out this 4g63 rebuild

A reason for that is because the graphites and some of the other ingredients are known cancer causing substances. When working with assembly lubes, moly lubes, etc. it is best to wear your latex gloves. Just an FYI.

^^^ Good tidbit to know, I've never thought about that.

Also, WTF does he spray on the waterpump and front case gaskets? It almost looks like copper spray, but I assume/hope it is just a gasket tack or something. I guess I've had good luck just using the gaskets without goop of any sort.

I hate to break this to ya, but maybe you should've considered a career as a dental hygenist or something. :D:D

Naw, I just follow the model of clean hands=clean motor build :).
Peoples mouths? Gross!

-It would be nice if he used rubber/latex gloves when touching bearing material, fingerprints can create hot spots/marks/faster wear areas.

You've been hanging around Raptor too long. When you're putting assembly lube on bearing surfaces, fingerprints don't mean squat. That sounds like one of those lines he'd snowball the newbies with. :rolleyes: :D

Steve
That's the first time I've ever heard of that.

I noticed alot of the same mistakes Josh mentioned, But I agree you've spent to mutch time around Raptor. I think that motor is in for a nice long walk.

Well i got a stock 7bolt in my 99 GSX. Were the problems of crankwalk cleared up toward the end of the 2g years, like 1999? I mean, can you positively make ANY 7 bolt 'walk' if you want? Or is it a hit-miss thing? Example: Is there a chance that i will absolutely never get it in all the life of my car?

Sometimes it just seems like one of those scares that has everyone with a 7 bolt all worked up. I'd just like to know if there is a 100% chance that i will get it.

Like mentioned before on this site, ANY MOTOR can crankwalk, it just seems to happen more often on the 7 bolt (2g) manual transmission 4g63 vehicles.
It could be a percentage thing, a sheer volume of units produced thing, etc..
Honestly, I would leave your motor stock, as the stock 7bolt can handle over 400whp w/o any internal modifications needed, if its a good tune.

i walked mine (Auto 2g) But it was more likely due to the turbo going out and draining all the oil. Thank god for warrenties.

who was watching to make sure the crank was not chipped when he pouned those pistons in....

[Onefast99gsx]

Josh- yeah it might be a good idea just to leave mine alone and let nature take its course and see what happens. I would still like to maybe upgrade the rods though. I hate going down the track thinking that 'this might be the last time'. However I'm probably right on the border of 400HP. Slowwhite made 456whp out of his but I can't remember what the deal was with his block that it was messed up. Was it crankwalked?

[niterydr]

I don't remember what happened to it. I think it spun bearings?
