Badev0's Build part 2 - Built 2.0/FF 6266 by badev0

4 minute(s) of a 206 minute read

Got the motor assembled 100%. Was thinking of putting the motor/trans in the car but for some reason QM doesn't include the bolts to bolt the throw out bearing to trans... Going to grab some from the hardware store tomorrow...

Didn't take as many pictures as I wanted but here's what I have.. All bearing clearances are spot on to what the machine shop told me.

Crank dropped in

Rods/pistons/rings assembled. Rings were filed before this already.

Crankshaft end play within spec 

Pistons/rods installed and TQ'd. Rod bolts torqued with the included Manley lube. Stretch and recommended torque both spot on.

Headgasket/MAP H11's. Applying the included lube for the studs before spreading around the threads.

Head on a torqued

Timed and mostly together

All together

Daily driver 

Bolt solution for the throw out bearing

Good bolt length

Installed. I used blue loctite on the threads. 

Some one asked for pictures of the plates and discs of this clutch so here they are...

Disc 1

Plate 1

Disc 2 > Plate 2

Ready to go in the car.

Looks good. No shims required for stock crank.
