Forged rod fitting

[ezza24]

Hi all dose anybody have the link to the videos on u tube that give a step by step guide to fitting forged rods ? I have looked but I can't find it thanks

A very conclusive build, Obviously you may want to fit them with the engine in situ.

Thanks boosthard that's the link I was looking for , as I said the videos are for a friend who is attempting his first rebuild , I was going to do the work for him but he had now decided he wants me to help him do it so he can learn about his engine. so I suggested watching the videos to give him a visual idea at what he is going to be doing instead on just reading threads

can the rods not be fitted from the bottom?? meaning you dont need to take the head off?

 

[ezza24]

The head has to come off to replace rods

The sump and head need removing, they are dropped in from the top.

You can do rods without removing the head if you want

You can do rods without removing the head if you want

Surely the only way to do that then would be remove the crank and oil squirters as you need access to the side of the piston to remove the circlip and wrist pin
Then to assemble you would need to remove the cams so all the valves were closed otherwise in spinning the crank to access the caps and bolts you would bend valves

I never said it was easy

It can be done tho
