makers balancing improved fueleconomy, lower emissions andenhanced performance.
Honeywell expects turbochargingto continue growing globally from31% in 2013 to 38% by 2018. WhileEurope is by far the global leader inturbo penetration given the highpercentage of diesel vehicles sold,the addition of gasolineturbocharging will increase its turbopenetration to nearly 67% by 2018.This compares to 2018 estimates of31% of total sales in North America,33% in China and 53% in India.
Turbochargers allow a smallerengine to achieve the similar if notimproved power outputs of largernaturally aspirated engines whilebeing between 20% to 40% more fuelefficient in gasoline and dieselengines respectively. The smallerengine size also makes turbos atechnology that can help automakersmeet stricter emissions standards.

Serve Up Cylinder Supporton a Torque Plate Honing motorcycle or powersportcylinders can be difficult. The thinbottom portion of the cylinder oftenprotrudes 1”-3” below the cylinderassembly, and if this thin/bottomportion of the cylinder is not supportedduring the honing process, the honetends to push the cylinders outwardinstead of removing material.
This results in a bore that is smaller atthe bottom of the cylinder than the top.If you have an obsolete torque plate orone that you are not using, then you caneasily build a support for the cylinder:
Measure the bore of the crankcasethat the cylinder is going into with a dialbore gauge. Then, using your boring bar,set your boring bar cutter to the samesize and bore the torque plate. If theinside diameter of your torque plate islarger than the outside diameter of thecylinder or if the cylinder is longer thanthe torque plate, you can install acylinder sleeve to adjust for size orlength.
Honing with the cylinder installed inyour new fixture will simulate thesupport of the crankcase on the bottomof the cylinder.

Oh, What a Relief….Have you ever found yourselfworking with stainless steel hardware,but you were out of anti-seizecompound? You don’t want galling,but you must use something on thethreads because this job has to go outnow! (This situation may lead tostress, which can even give the bestengine builder an upset stomach).
Then reach for the antacid – not forthe belly – to use on the bolts! Maaloxand other common antacids work wellas an anti-seize, and will not bake off.This makes them perfect for header boltuse!

Using Studs to Assist inCylinder Head Installation When installing a head on a V8 or V6block, there is always that chance thatone head may not seat correctly and falloff before you can bolt it down. Takeold head bolts and cut the heads off.Then, cut a slot in them that will accepta screwdriver. Now install two of thesestuds into each side of the block tolocate the heads in place. Once you’veinstalled a few bolts, use a bladescrewdriver to back your studs out.

Fundamentals of EngineBearing ClearancesThe durability of any engine – stock orperformance – is tied to the enginebuilder’s skill in achieving optimalbearing clearances.
Too little or too much clearance willreduce or eliminate the vital oil film thathelps prevent contact between matingsurfaces. So getting it right requiresabsolute precision in spec’ing andinstalling your replacement bearings.
Bearing clearance is determined byseveral variables, including type andgeometry of the mating parts,eccentricity, oil viscosity, oil film, shaftdiameter and engine load.
Mating parts: Most light-vehicleengines are assembled at the OE levelby “select fitting” components toachieve tighter clearances than wouldtypically result from random selectionof mating parts, since the “stack-up” ofmanufacturing tolerances on the matingparts could lead to excessive NVH(Noise Vibration Harshness). Theaggregate tolerance ranges for the shaft,housing and bearings equals the totalpossible clearance variation due tomanufacturing tolerances of eachmating part.
Geometry: Clearance is a margin ofsafety that helps address anyimperfections in component alignmentand geometry. As surfaces are moreprecisely machined, they become lesssensitive to oil film breakdown, andtighter clearances can be tolerated.
Eccentricity: Half-shell rod and mainbearings do not have uniform walls.Their walls are thickest at 90-degreesfrom the split and then drop off by aprescribed amount toward each partingline.
This varying thickness is known aseccentricity, which is used to tailor thebearing shell to its rod or main housingbore that will distort under operatingloads.
Oil viscosity: Most new light-vehicleengines are designed to use lighter-weight oils to reduce horsepower loss.These oils can flow more freely throughtighter clearances. Higher operatingspeeds result in considerably higher oiltemperatures, and an accompanyingloss of oil viscosity.
Oil film: Tighter clearances helppromote alignment of the shaft andbearing, which leads to a broader oilfilm that spreads the load over more ofthe bearing surface.
This improves bearing life andperformance. Oil film thickness shouldexceed the combined roughness of thesurfaces (asperities), with thicknessnormally ranging from .2 to 1.6 microns.
Stock vs. Performance: For mostapplications, .00075 to .0010-inch ofclearance per inch of shaft diameter is areasonable starting point. Forperformance engines, it’s smart to add.0005-in. clearance to the maximumdetermined above.
This extra margin reduces sensitivityto shaft, block and connecting roddefection and the resultingmisalignment that can result from peakloads.
Accurate Measurement: Bearingclearance is specified as “verticalclearance” and must be measured at 90degrees to the split line.
Vertical bearing clearance is bestmeasured by assembling the bearinginto its bore (at the specified torquewithout the shaft in place), measuringthe inside diameter with a dial boregauge, and subtracting the actual

Note: OE manufacturers have components that may be graded for tolerance,which they can “select” to achieve the specific clearances they desire. Sincethis is not a luxury afforded an automotive machine shop, it is up to themachinist to correctly adjust through machining operations housing bores andcrankshaft journal sizes to achieve these desired clearances. Familiarity with thedifferent bearing manufacturers products and their tendencies toward a thicker orthinner bearing shell and mixing bearing half-sizes are also tools you can use toachieve your clearance goals.

Engine builders John andHorace Dodge started makingautomobiles in 1914 — 100
years ago. However, the Dodgebrothers actually got into theautomobile industry in 1900 andactually manufactured engines undercontract to Henry Ford in 1900.Eventually, they built all of Ford’smechanical parts.
John and Horace were talentedmachinists who started at the bottomand worked their way to the topthrough their hands-on skills andambition to succeed in business. Likemany automotive pioneers, thebrothers first made bicycles. Then, afew years later, they opened up amachine shop in Detroit — the citythat became the hub of American carmaking.
Before building engines for Ford,the brothers built transmissions forOlds Motor Works. Within a year,Ford offered them a contract tomake engines for his Dearborn, MI,company, but they had to stopdoing work for his upstate rivalfrom Lansing, MI. In exchange fortheir motors, Ford anted up a 10%share of Ford Motor Co. stock,which made the brothers wealthyengine makers.
As historians tell us, HenryFord could be ornery and hefought with the Dodge Brothersover costs and financial matters.
They fought constantly for 12
years, then Ford yanked thecord, prompting the talentedDodges to make their owncar. They started with a successfulfour-cylinder 30-hp vehicle calledthe Dodge Brothers Model 30. It wasmade in a factory in Hamtramck,MI. Before too long, Dodge BrothersInc. was the second largestautomaker in America.
Dodge Brothers, Inc., was set upthrough the sale of $5 million worthof common stock. The new Model30 was the world's first mass-produced, all-steel touring car. Itwas the best-selling new car ever atthat time with a record first-production of 45,000 units.
Gen. John J. Pershing's well-publicized use of 250 Dodge touringcars to hunt down Mexican rebelPancho Villa in 1916 established areputation for durability and reliableoperation.
Dodge engines didn’t quit!With the Model 30 selling well, the

Introduced in 1914, the Dodge Model 30 wasstill in production in 1917 when the companymade 9,000 cars including this one with thecarryover 213-cid 32-hp 4-cylinder engine.(Photo courtesy Mecum Auctions)
The Dodge “Victory Six” of 1928 was asmooth-running engine that could acceleratefrom 5 to 25 mph in 7.5 sec. The 58-hp sixwas good for 60 mph and 21 mpg (at 25mph) according to Dodge. (Gunner’s GreatGarage collection).

building trucks in 1917. During WorldWar I it built thousands of militaryambulances. Panel delivery trucks, firetrucks, pickups, chassis-cabs and otherbody types soon joined the DodgeBrothers truck lineup.
In 1920, John Dodge caught the fluwhile attending the New YorkAutomobile Show. It developed intopneumonia and he died January 14.Horace also contracted the flu, whichaffected him off and on that year untilhe passed away in Palm Beach, FL, onDec. 10. Ironically, the deaths tookplace the year Dodge took the
number 2 sales position withproduction of 141,000 vehicles.
Frederick J. Haynes, an oldfriend of the brothers, took overas president. Unfortunately, apostwar recession started aboutthat time, dropping sales to81,000 units and causing lay offs.The fact that the design of theDodge was practicallyunchanged from 1914 did nothelp matters. Though the 4-cylinder engine was sturdy andreliable, it was not keeping upwith 1920s technology. In 1921,Dodge Brothers agreed to marketGraham Brothers medium-dutytrucks and Graham agreed to useDodge engines. This partnership
provided Dodge dealers with a full lineof trucks to sell. Dodge eventuallybought Graham Bros.
By 1925, one million Dodge carshad been manufactured and businesswas trending upwards again. A NewYork investment-banking firm paidthe brothers' widows $146 millioncash for Dodge Brothers.
In 1928, the bankers initiatednegotiations with Walter P. Chryslerto buy Dodge. The $170 milliontransaction was completed July 31 ofthat year. It made Chrysler instantlyfive times as big and one of America’s“Big Three” automobilemanufacturers.
Dodge Brothers’ reputation was sogood that Chrysler used that name inits advertising all the way through

Building History
1927 Dodge Bros. Fast 4: In 1918,Dodge adopts a heavier crankshaftin the 4-cylinder engine, so thehorsepower rating was changed to24. NACC (National AutomobileChamber of Commerce). In 1927,when this car was built, they called itthe ‘Fast Four.’
Tracking their WorkDid you know that John and
Horace Dodge established one ofthe first automobile test tracks inAmerica? Every engine and everycar was extensively tested. Thecars had to climb a steep hill tosee if the engine did its job. Therewas also a slightly banked circular wooden track used forspeed testing engines.
The brothers wanted their carsto be as dependable and “dependability” was in everyDodge Brothers ad.
This is how a restored Dodge 216-cid flathead six should look whenit’s all done. These engines werefinished in silver. We encounteredsome pretty rough head topsurfaces with the motor we did,which isn’t this one.
The Dodge Brothers New Six of 1930 was a 189.9-cid L-head engine that made23.4 SAE horsepower and 61 developed horsepower. It had a pressurelubrication system. (Gunner’s Great Garage collection).

1930. Soon the company was selling 6-cylinder and straight eight models.The Ram's head hood ornamentdesigned by sculptor Avard T.Fairbanks was first used in 1932. Overthe years, this symbol was droppedand revived. Today, Dodge’s slogan is“Take Life by the Horns.”
During World War II, Dodgemanufactured weapons, tanks, shipsand air raid sirens. Dodge factoriesturned out more than 500,000 militarytrucks and over 18,000 aircraftengines. As World War II productioncontracts were issued the Dodge 4 x 4was improved. The experience wouldcome in handy postwar.
Dodge’s stodgy three-box postwarcars used a variety of flathead in-linesixes for power, with largerdisplacements in larger car models.Things began to change rapidly in1953 when the Dodge Coronet couldbe ordered with a Red Ram hemi-head engine, the first Dodge V8 in 20years.
NASCAR driver Lee Pettycaptured Dodge's first checkered flagthere, while another Dodge V8 wonthe Mobilgas Economy Run.
In 1954 the Chrysler ProvingGrounds opened with NASCARdriver Betty Skelton driving theHemi-powered Dodge Firearrowshow car to a new world speedrecord for a woman on a closedcourse of 143.44 mph. To top off all ofthis, a yellow Dodge convertible witha continental kit paced the Indy 500,and Hemi-powered Dodges set 196speed records at the Bonneville SaltFlats.
Dodge introduced the D-500 Hemiengine option in 1956. These stick-shifted performance cars had twofour-barrel carbs atop their heated-upHemis and cranked up 295 hp to helpDodges win 11 NASCAR flags. Dodgecontinued using the wedge-head V8
in its less expensive lines andthe Hemi V8 in its pricier carsuntil the muscle car era began.A flathead six remained, butafter a 1957 recession spurredinterest in fuel economy andcompact cars, Dodge developed
a new engine called the Slant Six. Atthe 1960 Daytona 500, a racing Hyper-Pak was released for this motor, whichwas destined to become another long-lasting Dodge power plant and an
icon among 6-cylinder offerings. A 413-cid Ramcharger Max-Wedge
engine became a muscle car favorite in1962.
Then the 1963 Ramcharger 426-Awedge V8 arrived. It delivered 425 hpand blazing off-the-lineacceleration for drag racing. Anew 426-cid 426-hp Race Hemidesignated for “off-road”(competition) use only wasbuilt in limited numbers after1964.
During the ‘60s, Dodge blew out itsperformance car image. TheRamchargers drag racing team was ahit and Roger Lindamood’s 'Color MeGone' Dodge took the National HotRod Assoc.'s Top Eliminator title. ARamcharger-equipped rail dragster seta new national speed record of 190.26
mph. In NASCAR, 500-hp Hemisruled. A ’69 Dodge Hemi Daytonawith a long nose and shelf-like rearspoiler won the checkered flag at theDaytona 500.
Dodge’s answer to the Mustangfinally arrived in 1970 as theChallenger could accommodate theHemi V8. Even the Dodge Dart wasoffered in Hemi models before thegovernment and insurance companiesteamed up to put a lid on muscle cars.The 1973 Gulf Oil embargo changedthe car industry and renewed interestin smaller, more fuel-efficient enginesand cars. Subcompact Omnis, Aries K-cars and Caravan front-wheel-driveminivans saved the day.
In 1992, Dodge’s high-performanceimage was instantly revived when theV10 powered Viper supercar arrived.In 1996, a new Viper coupe paced theIndy 500 with Chrysler president Bob
Lutz behind the wheel. Viper GT-Rcompetition models raced and won atLeMans.
With Dodge turning 100 this year,it’s interesting to review Dodge historyand reflect on how far it is possible fortop-notch engine builders to go inbusiness and in life. ■

Since 2000, Abradable PowderCoatings have been used in autoproduction to coat supercharger
rotors. These “clearance coatings”can also be used to safely minimizepiston clearances, minimize pistonrock and slap and promote betterring sealing and increase power.
When clearance coatings are used,leak down lasts longer, too. For thelast eight years, a Clarkston, MI,company named Line2Line Coatingshas been offering the sametechnology largely to racers, but alsoto old-car restorers. The racers usingit are usually after better engine life,while the restorers focus on savingobsolete parts.
When you build an engine withparts that have been “clearance-coated,” you build it with clearancesthat would normally be consideredtoo tight. Then, the piston “finds itsown fit” under operating loads athigh temperature.
It wears in untilthere is room for justthe right film of oil.At that point, thecoating stopswearing in. In a raceengine, you get bettersealing properties. Ina vintage engine, youget to build it usingpistons that mightotherwise have beentossed.
The piston fitting process startswhen you place an order withLine2Line to have your pistonstreated with Abradable PowderCoating.
For best results and to easeassembly, the company will want to
know the piston clearance in theengine, whether it is heavilymodified for more power and if thepistons and bores appear worn. Forstock engines with stock pistons, yousupply factory clearance specs. Forstock engines with aftermarketpistons, you give the piston maker’sclearance recommendation.
In heavily modified engines,Line2Line said it will leave more gapto allow piston expansion. Measurethe clearance that you have, thensubtract the piston diameter at themiddle of the skirt from the borediameter.
Step on InNow you come to a step that a lot ofclassic car restorers will findintriguing. If there is excessiveclearance between the piston skirtand cylinder bore, Line2Line can
build up the piston with ArmorCC (ahard clearance coating) and cover itwith SlickCC (a slippery clearancecoating) for proper break in. Yousimply measure each piston forclearance and indicate yourmeasurements on top of the part witha dry ink marker. The degree of wearmay vary from cylinder to cylinder.Line2Line will also need you toindicate the original clearance.
Line2Line says that if none of theabove apply to your engine job, youcan request the thin coating (whichadds 0.002 thickness in diameter) forscuff resistance and lower frictionwith easy assembly or you can justestimate the clearance, and error onthe thick side, then achieve a force fitwith a little elbow grease.
Start your build by installing thepiston, with no rings or oil, gentlyaligning each piston to its bore. The

piston may be hard to start down thebore, but you try to push it all the waythrough. Sometimes wiggling thepiston or using paper, Scotch-Brite oremery cloth near the leading edge willhelp get the piston started. Proceed
slowly and try and tryagain until all the pistonsstart to go in.
Once the piston is in,continue to put a littlepressure on it. It mightget tight, but don’t force itin too much, since youneed to get it out again.
If it really hangs up,remove it and look forwitness marks. Abradethe witness mark areaswith your favoritemedium and repeat.
When you can pushthe pistons through withyour fingertips andminor pressure, move onto the next piston. Thepistons do not need to“fall through” the boreunder gravity, but whenall is good, they shouldmove through the entirestroke without oil.
From this point on,use the normal cleaningand assembly proceduresyou would whenbuilding any engine. Oilthe piston skirts atassembly. Once you getthe engine built, give theengine progressive heatcycles to allow the

expand and become tighter in the boreand the coating will abrade thetightest spots.
Each time you shut down or backoff, the piston will shrink, allowing
fresh oil intothe tight spots. Many factors determinethe minimum number of progressiveheat cycles needed.
If the piston seems tight whenadvancing to a new power threshold,shut the engine down or back off togive it more time at the previous power

The timing components thatdrive a camshaft affect valvetiming, ignition timing (if the
engine has a cam-driven distributor),compression, engine performanceand fuel economy. Because of this,the timing components must be ingood condition with minimal wearand slop, and they must be durableenough to maintain accurate timingfor the service life of the engine.
Camshafts rotate at half the speedof the crankshaft in four-strokeengines, so there is always a two-to-one gear ratio between the timingcomponents that connect the crankand cam. The cam drive may be achain and sprockets, a belt andsprockets, a gear drive, or acombination of any of these such asChevy’s 3.4L DOHC V6 that uses atiming belt to drive the cams and achain to drive theintermediate sprocket thatdrives the belt. Any type ofcam drive is capable ofdoing the job, but there areadvantages anddisadvantages with each type.
Timing chains are reliable and canbe used in pushrod engines oroverhead cam engines. A chain isusually quieter than a straight cutgear set but not as quiet as a belt.
Chains are usually less expensivethan gears but more expensive thanbelts. Their downside is that theystretch, which typically occurs aftermany miles of service but canhappen fairly early in the chain’s lifein a high-performance engine with
high valve spring pressures. Chainstretch is not good because it createsslop, noise and retards valve timingand ignition timing. Chain rattle is acommon complaint in high mileagepushrod engines when the chain hasstretched and is rubbing against thetiming cover. Chain rattle can alsooccur in OHC engines as a result ofstretching, but is often caused byworn or damaged chain guides or abad chain tensioner.
Timing belts have been used on awide variety of OHC cam enginesover the years. Timing belts arequiet, and they generate less frictionthan a timing chain or gear drive,which reduces parasitic horsepowerlosses inside the engine andimproves fuel economy and power.Timing belts may be made ofsynthetic rubber such as neoprene,
Highly Saturated Nitrile (HSN) orEPDM, and reinforced with toughfiber cords (often Kevlar). The tensilecords inside a timing belt prevent itfrom stretching, which allows a beltto maintain accurate valve timing fora longer period of time than a chaintypically would. But belt life islimited by the material the belt ismade from. On older applications(1990s vintage and earlier), therecommended replacement intervalfor OHC timing belts was typically60,000 miles. Today, it ranges from100,000 to 120,000 miles thanks tobelts constructed of stronger andmore durable materials.
Timing belts will often last muchlonger than the recommendedreplacement interval, but they won’tlast forever. Eventually, the belt willfail -- usually with little or no

warning -- and when that happens, itcan bend the valves and cause a lot ofexpensive damage if the application isan interference engine.
To go the distance, a timing beltmust be properly tensioned andprotected from outside contaminants(no missing dust covers and no oil orgrease contamination from engine oilleaks). If belt tension is not adjustedproperly when the belt is installed, orthe belt loosens up, it can jump time.It can also jump time if the cogs on theunderside of the belt are worn ordamaged.
Gear drives are the most robusttype of cam drive because there’s nochain stretch or belt breakage to worryabout. That’s why a lot of dieselengines use gears to drive the caminstead of a timing chain.
Gears are long lived but will wearover time. It’s important to makesure the gears have the properbacklash and receive adequatelubrication. The initial timingaccuracy of a gear drive is nodifferent than that of a new chain orbelt drive. The only difference is thatthe gears should maintain timingaccuracy over a longer period of timethan a chain.
The downside of a gear drive isthat they are more expensive thanmost chain or belt drives, andheavier. Straight cut gears can bequite noisy (even the so-called“silent” versions), producing a loudwhine as the teeth mesh against eachother. Most OEM gear drives havemore expensive helical cut gears thatare machined at an angle to reducefriction and noise.
Because a gear drive has less“give” than a timing chain or belt,gears also tend to transmit morevibration and harmonics to thevalvetrain. In low RPM engines (suchas diesels), this usually isn’t an issue.
But in a high-revving performanceengine with a gear drive setup, it maycreate harmonics that affect valvetiming and valve seating. Somemanufacturers of aftermarketperformance gear drives that use adog-bone style floating gear setbetween the cam and crank gears donot recommend using their productson engines that rev higher than 7,000RPM.
Stocking UpStock timing components are usuallyfine for stock applications, so mostaftermarket replacement parts areOEM-equivalent in design and thetype of materials used. In situationswhere the OEM parts have had ahistory of premature wear or failure(such as composite nylon-filled plastictiming gears used with chains),upgrading to a timing set thatincludes redesigned and/or strongercomponents such as steel or powdermetal gears may improve durabilityand reduce the risk of cam driveproblems down the road.
If you’re building a performancepushrod V8 engine with a hotter cam
and stiffer valve springs, it goeswithout saying that the stock timingcomponents are probably not up tothe task. You should replace the stockinverted silent tooth or single rowtiming chain with a stronger doublerow roller chain. A double roller chainis usually recommended for enginespeeds above 6000 RPM. Billet steelgears are also recommended forengines that are upwards of 600 or 700horsepower or use heavy (over 200pounds of closed seat pressure) valvesprings.
The aftermarket offers a lot ofoptions when it comes to cam drives,and each of the various approacheshas their supporters and detractors.Many racers replace a timing chain
with a gear drive conversion becausethey want the increased strength anddurability of a gear set. Some like thegear whine because it makes peoplewonder what you have under thehood (a blower maybe?). Others hatethe noise of a gear drive and prefer tostick with a double roller chain setup.The more exotic the setup, the higherthe cost. Many ProStock drag racersuse a high performance belt drivesetup and have great success with it.Others are leery of belts for fear theywill break so they stick with a geardrive or double roller chain.
One of the advantages of a beltdrive is easy adjustability. Unlike atiming chain or gear set, a belt driverequires no lubrication so it doesn’thave to be sealed up behind a timingcover. This makes cam timingadjustments much easier, as well asbelt inspections. If a belt drive is beingused on the street, off-road or on a dirttrack, a dust cover should be used toprotect the belt.
Converting to a high-performancebelt drive does require some minormodifications such as installing a frontcover seal plate and oil seals behindthe crank and cam sprockets to sealthe engine. The front plate thattypically comes with a belt drive kit ismachined to fit specific blockapplications, including standardblocks and aftermarket blocks with araised cam bore. The more complexthe cover, the higher the cost of the kit.Some belt kits are available withtorrington bearings or even ballbearing thrust bearings for the cam toprecisely control cam end-play.
Another advantage with belt drivesis that they make it easy to use a front-mounted distributor. This gives youmore flexibility in planning the overallconfiguration of the engine, andcomes in handy if an engine will beequipped with a long superchargerthat would otherwise interfere withthe location of a stock distributor. Thebelt drive can also be used to drive afront-mounted fuel pump.
The trade-off with belts is that theyare not as long lived as chain drives orgear drives in performanceapplications. The belt has a limitedlife, and should be replaced after acertain period of time depending onuse. For drag racing, onerecommendation is to replace the beltevery 200 runs. For circle track racing,

replacing the belt atthe end of the seasonis recommended.For endurance racing, most racers willchange the belt every race.
Time to ReplaceWith a typical engine rebuild, theparts that have to be replacedgenerally depend on their condition.You replace wear components such asrings and bearings, and othercomponents based on their condition.This includes the timing components,which should always be treated as asystem. With a chain drive, the chain,crank and cam sprockets shouldalways be replaced as a completetiming set. Installing a new chain onworn sprockets is not going to provideaccurate cam timing or long-termreliability. The same goes for overheadcam engines with timing chains. Thechain, guides, tensioners and othercomponents should all be replaced atthe same time.
It’s the same story with timingbelts. Replace used high-mileagetiming belts with a timing belt kit, notjust the belt itself. Many timing beltkits include a new tensioner and/oridler pulley with the belt. Timing beltfailures can be caused by a faulty belttensioner or guide, or a bad sprocket.Idler pulley and tensioner pulleybearings are “sealed for life” and arenot serviceable, so there’s no way toclean, inspect or re-lubricate thepulley bearings when a timing belt ischanged. If a pulley is noisy, bindingor wobbles, it needs to be replaced.
Another reason for installing a
complete timing belt kit is that itreduces the risk of mismatchedparts. Timing belts can have one ofseveral different tooth profiles inaddition to different lengths andwidths. If there’s a mismatchbetween the belt and drivesprockets, tensioner or idlerpulleys, it will ruin the belt.
Replacement belts must be thesame as the original. Compare theold and new belts carefully tomake sure the length, width andtooth profiles all match. Thecamshaft and crankshaft drivesprockets also need to be cleanedand inspected for wear or damagethat could shorten the life of a new
belt.If you are
doing the finalassembly on anOHC engine with
a timing belt, NEVER stretch a beltover a pulley or sprocket as this maydamage the cords inside the belt. Also,do not twist or crimp a new timingbelt when you are installing it.
If a timing belt does not seem to fitproperly (and it is the correct belt forthe application), there may bemisalignment between the camshaftand/or crankshaft sprockets. A camsprocket may have been installedbackwards, the wrong thrust washermay have been used, or the cranksprocket may be too far in or out onthe crank for proper alignment.
If you’re replacing a spring-loadedhydraulic chain tensioner on an OHCengine, note that the replacementtensioner may have a release pin thatmust be removed AFTER thetensioner has been installed on theengine. If this pin is not removed, thetensioner will not be able to expandand tighten the chain which will leadto premature failure and possibleengine damage.
Also, make sure the replacementparts you get are the latest ones for theapplication. Check the latest factoryservice literature for any engine-related TSBs or bulletins that mightinclude revised parts or installationprocedures.
For example, older Ford 4.0LSOHC V6 engines often suffer fromtiming chain rattle. The teflon chainguides that were used in these engineswear and fail prematurely, causing thenoise. Ford redesigned the cam chain
tensioners and guides to fix theproblem, so if you don’t get theimproved replacement parts (or theiraftermarket equivalent), the enginewill have the same noise problem asbefore.
Something else to keep in mind isthat all timing sets are not the same.Differences in price usually reflectdifferences in quality, materials andworkmanship. A cheap timing chainset or timing belt from a no-namesupplier may turn out to be nobargain at all if it doesn’t fit right orfails prematurely.
Cam Timing NotesWith a stock engine build, there’susually no need to play around withvalve timing other than to verify it isaccurate. You line up the timing markson the sprockets and chains, or countchain links between sprockets andfollow the factory timing procedure tomake sure cam timing is right on.Always double-check the alignment ofthe timing marks, and turn the engineover twice by hand to make surenothing is binding and that the timingmarks realign the same as before.
With a performance build, youmay want to advance or retard camtiming depending on where you wantthe engine’s power curve to peak.Most aftermarket performance timingsets have an adjustable cam gear thatcan be installed in different indexpositions to provide up to 8-10degrees of advance or retard in 2degree increments. Offset dowel pinsand keyways can also be used for thesame purpose.
Never assume cam timing iscorrect even if the timing marks allline up perfectly. Use a degree wheeland dial indicator to check cam timingwith the number one piston at TopDead Center (TDC).
Once you’ve verified base timing,you can make additional adjustmentsfrom there. Most aftermarket streetperformance cams come with 4degrees of initial advance alreadyground into the cam to help low RPMtorque and drivability. If you wantmore or less timing advance, you needto verify what the timing actually is,then make any changes as needed toset the timing where you want it. ■

Choosing piston rings for aperformance engine buildis not as simple as it
sounds. Your ring choices may belimited depending on thedimensions of the ring groovesthat are available.
The location of the wrist pinmay also limit what you can dowith rod length and stroke if youwant to build a stroker motor, andthe thickness of the piston crownmay limit how much metal can besafely removed to adjust deck heightor compression.
To help you out with that enginebuild, here’s a few tips to considerwhen selecting a set of rings.
Popularity Contest: Popular ringsizes today include 1.5 mm, 1.2 mmand 1.1 mm (.043˝) top rings with 3.0mm or even 2.0 mm three-piece oilrings. Some ring manufacturers evenmake 1.0 mm one-piece oil rings forsome racing applications.
Napier-style second compressionrings appear to be the most popularstyle today because they help scrapeoil off the cylinder walls to improveoil control.
Cast Away: Cast iron rings are toobrittle for high performance, highheat applications, so ductile iron orsteel rings are usually a must.
Ring Treatment: Plasma-moly orblack nitride coatings are the mostpopular surface treatments for rings.Those who prefer nitrided steel ringssay they hold up in really high heatapplications better than anythingelse.
Steel Gas-Nitrided: One ringmanufacturer has introduced a lineof all steel gas-nitrided rings for high
horsepower, high rpm racingengines including nitrous-injectedand alcohol blown engines.
The first and secondcompression rings are nitridedstainless steel, and the oil ring alsohas nitrided stainless steel rails andan expander.
All the rings also have a physicalvapor deposition (PVD) coating ofchromium nitride (CrN) on the faceto reduce friction and wear.
Watch that Gap: Unless you areusing “gapless” compression rings,the top ring end gaps usually needto be opened up a bit over stockdimensions to accommodateincreased thermal expansion fromhigher combustion temperatures.
The higher the location of the topring on the piston, the more end gapit usually needs to handle the heat.
Talking Tension: Thinner, low-tension rings reduce friction and aremore conformable, so they canpotentially add a little extrahorsepower. The downside is theyare also more expensive, and requirepistons with shallower, narrowerring grooves.
One piston manufacturer told usthey use “medium” tension ringswith their pistons, with about 15 lbs.on the oil rings.
Another piston manufacturersaid they recommend 12- to 15-lb. oilrings for racing, but like to see a littlemore ring tension in streetapplications – say 18- to 22-lbs. – forthe oil rings.
Gas Vents: Pistons with vertical orlateral gas vents are available to helpimprove ring sealing, too.
The vents route combustionpressure against the ring to help sealit against the piston land andcylinder. Pistons with gas vents areprimarily for high rpm racingengines, and should not be used onthe street, because carbon buildupfrom idling can clog up the portsand cause uneven ring sealing.
Abrasive Behaviors: The reasonwhy most rings fail is not because ofdetonation and breakage (thoughdetonation can certainly damagerings). More often than not, rings failas a result of abrasion destroying thering surface. The abrasion comesfrom dirt and debris left inside theengine by the rebuilder (the mostcommon cause according to one ringmanufacturer), by airborne abrasivesand contaminated lubricants (poorair filtration or air leaks into thecrankcase) and by poor-qualitycylinder finishes. ■

When it comes toagricultural equipment,specifically tractors, many
of them are used for decades upondecades due to durable, well-madeengines and machinery that lasts.For this reason, agriculturalequipment comes with a price tag -a big price tag.
New tractors, ranging in sizefrom compact to 4- and 6-cylinderengines, can cost $30,000 all the wayup to several hundred thousanddollars. According to theAssociation of EquipmentManufacturers, 184,000 tractorswere sold in 2013, up 10% from theprior year. The biggest jump in saleslast year, however, was in tractorswith less than 40 hp.
Despite the fact that new tractorsales were up in 2013, industryexperts report that the business ofrebuilding and remanufacturingolder tractor engines and agequipment was still veryprevalent. In fact, most agequipment doesn’t need rebuildingor remanufacturing for 10 to 15years, so the increased number ofnew tractors being sold todaymeans good news down the linefor engine rebuilders and partssuppliers.
“That’s where our market starts,10-15 years after manufactured,”said Ryan McCoy, vice president ofsales for Howard Enterprises, adistributor ofaftermarket engine partsand tractor parts.
Due to the prohibitiveexpense of buying a new
tractor or piece of ag equipment,many people, when their machinessee engine issues, will opt forrebuilding the engine to get longerlife out of their equipment.
“Right now we’re seeing whatcould be a very big impact on thelife of agricultural equipment,” saysPaul Kelly, vice president ofMaxiforce, an aftermarket engineparts company. “The impact of Tier4 engines in agricultural equipmentis going to be very significant.People are going to extend the lifeof their older agricultural pieces ofequipment much longer than theyprobably would have before.”
The biggest reason being the costof these new engines – a Tier 4engine is twice the cost of itspredecessor. OEs such as John
Deere and Massey are beingrequired to use Tier 4 engines foremissions purposes. These enginesare complicated due to selectivecatalytic reducers to reduceemissions and more electroniccomponents.
“People are not only scared ofthe price, they are scared of theequipment because they don’tknow it,” Kelly says. “We thinkpeople are going to be rebuildingtheir engines and giving them alonger life than they would havedone in the past. I think it’s going tobe a positive impact on the enginerebuilding world.”

beloved for their durability and theirengines. John Deere, International,Case, Ford, Massey Ferguson,Perkins, Alice Chalmers, Oliver andCummins are just a few tractorengines that have stood the test oftime. But it seems to be a unanimousfact that John Deere and Internationallead the rest of the pack when itcomes to rebuilding.
For instance, the John Deere 4020was manufactured from 1963-’72 andJohn Deere produced and sold 57,000of them. The 1066 International wasproduced from 1971-’76 andInternational produced 55,000 ofthem.
Larry Scott, president of ScottDiesel and Farm Service in FortLupton, CO, rebuilds John Deere,International, Case, Ford and all themajor brands of tractors. “The mostpopular engine I’ve seen come intothe shop is both the John Deere andInternational 466 engine,” he says.“People tend to keep them because ofthe tractor’s reputation and thelongevity of the tractors themselves,so they rebuild the engines.”
Charles Carey, owner of CareyTractor and Tire Service in Ionia, IA,echoes Scott’s thoughts on the mostcommon tractor engines, saying heworks on International 466 engines alot. “The 466 International engine is ahard engine to beat,” Carey says.“There are more Internationalsaround than anything else.”
No matter what kind of tractor afarmer owns, the fate of it relies onhow well it’s taken care of and thelevel of regular maintenanceperformed on it.
“The average age of the engineswe see are between 7,000 and 10,000hours,” says Scott. “If someone has
maintained their tractor and doneproper maintenance on them, I’veseen John Deere’s go 15,000 hours.On the flip side, if they don’t takecare of it I’ve seen engine’s come inwith as few as 4,000 hours.”
Most of the issues seen are generalwear and tear, but some of thereasons to rebuild an engine canrange from a burnt valve, drop valve,blown head gaskets, low oil pressure,drop rod or spin rod bearings, burntpiston, liner leaks, and more.
“It all depends on whether theychange oil filters and oil,” Carey says.“That’s the cheapest thing you canput in an engine.”
Whether a new tractor ispurchased or the tractor’s engine getsrebuilt or remanufactured dependsupon the farmer and his resources.
“The bigger guys are rolling in thenew equipment, and the littler guysare rebuilding what they’ve got,”says Aaron Roth, an instructor at theCollege of Applied Technologies atthe University of Northwestern Ohio.“It depends on the acreage that theyare farming as to how often they rolla piece of equipment.

To keep these tractors running
well, rebuilders relyon part suppliers.Companies likeMaxiforce andHowardEnterprises

Cummins B and C series engines are also popular.Maxiforce does very well with its overhaul kits as well,
which basically include everything in a box to rebuild anengine, according to Kelly.
“The other popular products are the oil pump, waterpump, injectors and thermostat, what they call the wearparts,” Kelly says. “Our bread and butter is the John DeerePowerTech engine line. The PowerTech engine is the mostpopular ag engine out there and covers the last 15 years ofJohn Deere engines.”
Aside from John Deere’s, Kelly says Perkins are alsopopular engines that he sees getting rebuilt.
Both Carey and Scott agreed that overhaul kits aregreat products and help make an engine rebuild lessexpensive. According to Carey and Scott an average 6-cylinder diesel engine rebuild can run from $6,000 to$10,000 versus buying a new tractor for around $100,000.
Not all engine rebuilding business goes to local engineshops, however. If the tractors are newer, many peoplewill bring them back into the dealers for repairs andremanufacturing.
John Deere says that whether they overhaul an engineor just replace it with a remanufactured engine dependson the damage and the time of year the engine is broughtin. If the engine is brought in during the earlier part of theyear, they are more likely to overhaul it. If the enginecomes in during the later part of the year, they typicallyinstall a remanufactured engine.
A new 9L – 13L John Deere engine can cost anywherefrom $27,000 to $40,000, while a remanufactured enginecosts between $13,500 and $19,000. John Deere does offeroverhaul kits, which cost $2,500, but the oil pump, waterpump and fuel system components are extra.
International 400 series engines don’t have overhaulkits available. Engine rebuilders must purchase parts torebuild these. Remanufactured International engines cancost $6,000 to $7,000.

remanufacturing business has been booming.CNH Reman is the complete reman center in North
America for all Case, Case-IH and New Hollandequipment, parts and components, whether that’sengines, transmissions, rear ends, hydraulics, airconditioning, or electrical.
“We do FTP engines, ISM, smaller B-series Cumminsand New Engine Family (NEF),” says Mitchell.“Remanufactured B Cummins are less than $10,000installed versus $60,000 for a new tractor. Some of thebigger tractors or combines remanufactured engines are$25,000 versus $300,000 or $400,000 for new equipment.”
The future of tractor enginesAside from newer technologyslipping into tractor engines, theother piece of equipment enginerebuilders are starting to see more
of are compact tractors.“When you think of a skid steer you think of
construction guys, but any decent farmer has a skid steerto move hay or ground,” says Kelly. “It is the mostutilized piece of equipment on the farm.”
That’s becoming a very important segment forcompanies like Maxiforce because there were no parts forthese compact tractors. So farmers and engine rebuildersdidn’t have an outlet to get parts to rebuild these.
“In the last five years we’ve introduced a line forYanmar and these small Perkins engines,” Kelly says.“That has taken off big time, and has been the hottestlaunch we’ve ever done because there wasn’t an outlet forparts for these small-board diesel engines found in thesecompact utility tractors that every farmer has gotten.”
Compact tractors are going to open up a newopportunity for engine rebuilders because previously itdidn’t exist. The engines in small tractors were consideredthrowaway engines. You sent the core in and they sentyou a rebuilt one or a new one. Engine rebuilders want tobe able to rebuild customer’s engines and offer a cheaperoption than having to buy a whole new engine.

“Compact tractor rebuilding hasbecome a bigger part of therebuilding business simply due tothe fact that instead of having thelarger acre farms of 200 to 2,000acres, now you see people with 20acres and less and they have a minitractor,” Scott says. “The newer littletractors are definitely taking over.”
Mitchell says the CNH Remansees 30 to 40 compact tractors a day.
“Those are some of our highestvolume engines – the little 25 to 45hp engines,” Mitchell says. “Peopleare definitely fixing those little
tractors as they tear up.”As with any piece of machinery,
sooner or later it’s going to need tobe replaced with a new piece ofequipment. As technology continuesto influence newer models oftractors, the agriculture industry isgoing to have to upgrade equipmentand use the new Tier 4 engines.
“I think you’ll see the newengines stay around just as long asthe older engines,” Mitchell says.“There’s no doubt they can havesome expensive repairs, but thenewer equipment is like the newer
cars – its so much more capable thanthe older stuff was, has so manymore options on it and the ability todo so many different things that theolder units wouldn’t, and that makesthem a lot more productive tractors.”
While the newer engines arecreating a lot of talk, much of ithasn’t been out long enough toreally know how it is going to standup to the test of time like the olderequipment has.
“Let them get four or five yearson them and then we’ll see,” Careysays. ■

Like the saying goes, there’sdifferent strokes for differentfolks.
And in this article, I hope toexplain a unique way I hone enginecylinders in our Cuba, MO, shop. Iam not saying that you need to doyour honing this way.
I am simply saying this is howwe do it in our shop.
Since this article involves usingequipment in ways the equipmentwas not really intended to be used,we know some may be offendedthat our procedure is not done “bythe book.”
However, engine builders fordecades have found creative andunorthodox methods for eithergetting more power from anengine for a race team, or justmaking that engine reusable for afamily looking to hold on to theirvehicle for a handful of moreyears. A lot of times, thesemethods may be deemed secrets.But I’m here to shed a little lighton a honing method that mightbe something your shop can finduseful and profitable.
Honing History I first learned to hone enginecylinders a long time ago. I wasdoing engine rebuilds and usinga Sunnen rigid hone, even beforemy draft board sent me aninvitation to go to Vietnam. Ihave learned a lot about honingengine cylinders in the past 50-plus years, and I am stilllearning.
Why We Hone CylindersFirst, lets all get started off on
the same foot here. This article isabout honing — and not aboutusing a glaze breaker, which somepeople also call a hone. They arenot the same! We are going to betalking about removing cylinderwall metal, using a rigid hone, tomake a freshly bored cylindersmooth enough for new pistonsand new rings.
A freshly bored cylinder maylook smooth to the eye, but it ismuch too rough for new rings andnew pistons. It is hard to convincesome engine builders that theyneed to hone the cylinders they
have just bored to make themsmoother.
A lot of builders try to cutcorners when it comes to honingtheir cylinders.
By cutting corners, I mean thatsome engine builders bore theircylinders almost to the finish sizeand then hone them a few strokesjust to put a crosshatch on thesurface and let it go like that. Thenthey wonder why the oil in theirnewly rebuilt engine turns blackright away, and why the rings onlylast 15,000 miles. It’s obvious — thecylinder wall finish was notsmooth enough.
Another big reason for spendingthe time required to hone anengine properly is that there ishorsepower and fuel efficiency to

be gained here. I spend quite a bit oftime honing my cylinders and I feelthat it is time well spent.
Learning CurveThe first thing you need to do is toread the few paragraphs abouthoning cylinders that equipmentmanufacturers put in their enginerebuilding books and productinformation. They can provide you
some good, basic machininginformation. They tell you how tohone a cylinder and what stones theythink you should use.
So the process seems quite simple,right? Wrong! It’s not that simple!Many engine builders have foundout that honing takes time and canbe harder than it looks. That is whysome try to cut corners.
Equipment at Our ShopIn our shop, we use a Sunnen rigidhone that uses the AN-style stones.We have used this process for yearsand it works great. There may be other systems outthere that are just as good, but myson Dave and I like the results we aregetting, with the machine and theabrasives we are using. I also like thefact that as the silicon carbideabrasive stone wears down newsharp material comes to the surface.The sharp cutting edges cut cleanlyrather than tearing the cylinder wallmetal away.
I use a dial bore gauge to measuremy cylinders and to check on myhoning progress. If you don’t haveone, get one. Sometimes I set my dialbore gauge with a micrometer. Mostof the time on a re-bore job, I use thisprocedure to set my dial bore gauge.I bore my cylinders .003 under myfinish bore size.
My boring bar is really accurate. Irun my dial bore gauge into thefreshly bored cylinder and set it tominus -.003 under the zero on thegauge.
Next, I hone the cylinder a fewstrokes just to knock the fuzz off thecylinder wall and then I use amicrometer to find the exact size ofthe cylinder. I run the dial boregauge down the cylinder one moretime and make any slight changes Imay need to make and then lock thebezel on the bore gauge.
We use Sunnen #845 honing oil inour honing machine. It may cost justa little more than some other oils onthe market but we think it is worthit. I have tried other oils but I alwaysgo back.
There is a lot of differencebetween honing oils. Some oils cancause the honing stones to load upand stop cutting. (This oil has itsown smell, which I kind of like, too).
When we finish honing a block, Ilift it above my honing tank on ahoist and let the honing oil drip off.Carry-out is not a big problem in ourshop.
I also have several magnets fromold starter motors that I have placedin the reservoir of my hone tank tohelp pick up metal and keep it out ofthe filter.

Getting AbrasiveI use a variety of abrasive stones as Ihone an engine cylinder. Some of thestones are the M27-J series and someare the N37-J series. The M27-J seriesare for cylinders from 2.7-4.1 inches.The N37-J series are for cylindersranging from 3.5-5.5 inches. Theletter J means the stones are made ofsilicon carbide. My stones last me a long time aslong as I do not crash them into thecrankcase webs or do something elsedumb to wreck them. Stone sets areexpensive, but they will hone a lot ofcylinders if you are careful withthem.
When stone sets are almost totallyworn down to the metal I put themaside to use when I need to takesome melted aluminum or rust off ofa cylinder wall. Do not mix up stonesfrom one set to another — keep eachset in its own container. I use fastfood plastic containers to keep eachset of stones separated from othersets.
About 50% of the Time,Hone My Cylinders Backward… Yes, I said backward! One of the firstthings you learn when you hone aconnecting rod or a bushing on aSunnen honing machine is that youneed to keep reversing the part, asyou hone. Reversing the part helpsto keep the honed hole straight andalso helps to keep the stones straight.
That is easy to do if you arehoning a rod or a rodbushing. In this article, weare talking about honingengine cylinders, andreversing the part is noteasy to do. You can reversethe part if you are honing asmall single cylinderengine but that does notwork on a big V8 block. So
instead of reversing the part, as Ihone a cylinder, I reverse my honingmachine.
It is also necessary to reverse thestones in the hone head at the sametime. It works, and it is not as hardas it sounds. When I decided to try toreverse my hone the first thing I didwas to install a toggle switch on themotor of my honing machine. If youdon’t know how to reverse an

electric motor ask any electrician. Itis simple to do.
I can reach the switch from thefront of the honing machine so I canselect forward or reverse withouteven moving from where I amstanding.
Now, here is a trick you will needto know so that you can run the honebackward. Normally the stones gointo the holes on the hone bodymarked with the X. To run the honecounter clockwise, you will need toput the stones into the holes on thehone body without the X.
In some cases, especially with theM27 series stones, you will need togrind a little notch in the top of theguide shoes so that they will clearthe hone drive shaft.
Note the notch on top of the guideshoe which is needed to clear thehone drive shaft.
Also, speaking of the drive shaft, Iput a set screw in the hone driveshaft where it threads into themachine drive so that it will notunscrew when I run the hone
backwards. I used a ¼ 20 set screw tolock my hone to the machine. I cantake the set screw out if I want toremove the hone head.
Running in Both DirectionsI feel that there are several reasonsfor running my hone in eitherdirection.
First, running my stone sets eitherclockwise or counter clockwiseallows me to straighten out a taperedcylinder. I do not like to pause thehone on one end of the cylinder orthe other to try to straighten out ataper problem. I always keep thehone moving up or down while it isturning. If you pause the hone in oneplace you will create a step in thecylinder wall which will have to behoned out.
Secondly, the procedure allowsme to straighten out a tapered set ofstones. This saves me money. I havewatched other machinists throwaway an almost new set of stonesjust because they have gottentapered.
The final reason for running thestone sets in both directions (and thisis just my theory) is that as youremove metal from a cylinder wallwith a boring bar and a carbide toolbit, turning clockwise, some of themetal is cut cleanly and some of themetal grains are torn and pushed inthe direction the boring tool bit isturning. By following up the boringoperation with an abrasive stone, ina hone turning in a counterclockwise direction, the grains ofmetal that had been pushed over arepicked up by the sharp abrasive andremoved cleanly.
Honing a Freshly Bored CylinderAs I mentioned earlier in this article,I leave .003” to hone out after I bore acylinder. Also, when I bore a cylinderblock, I always run the boring bardown past the end of the cylinder sothat I can stroke the hone down andout of the bottom of the cylinder. Ifone side of the cylinder wall runs allthe way down to the main web I set

my boring bar shut off switch so thatthe cutting tool stops just above themain web.
If you think you can hone acylinder straight, and not get ittapered by stopping the stones at thebottom of the cylinder, good luck! Ialways try to make sure the honestones pass out of the bottom of thebore. If the block I am honing allowsme to stroke the hone stones out ofthe bottom of the cylinder an inch, Itry to stroke the stones out of the topof the cylinder the same amount.
All good honing machines have agood solid stop that you can set forthe bottom and also for the top of thecylinders.
To set my bottom stop I put theset of stones in the hone. I run thestones out lightly against thecylinder wall. Next, I run the hone atnormal speed and carefully push thehone down until I fell the stones justbarely bump the crankcase web.
If you run the machine slow or tryto jog it when you are trying to setyour bottom stop your stones aremore likely to catch in the crankcasewebs. Then I move the hone back upthe cylinder about an eighth of aninch and stop the hone.
I set my bottom stop. You have totrust the bottom stop so that you cango all the way to the bottom and hitthe stop on each stroke of the hone. Ifthe bottom stop slips, you will crashyour $25.00 set of stones into thewebs. I recheck my bottom stop oneach cylinder that I hone.
Next set your top stop so that thestones come out of the top of thecylinder the same amount as theycome out of the bottom.
Note that I said the top of thecylinder and not out of the top of thetorque plate if you are using one.Most beginners do not run the honeall the way down to the stop on eachstroke and then they let the honecome way too far out of the top ofthe cylinder. This will result in atapered cylinder and also taperedstones.
The new piston skirts will scuff asthey slide up and down in thetapered part of the cylinder. If yousee that you are getting some taper,stop honing and reverse the stonesand the hone motor. By honingbackwards, you will start tostraighten out your cylinder and
your stones at the same time.
Setting UpHere is something else I have foundthat you may want to try. When youset up a V8 block, that you are goingto hone, in the cradle of yourmachine take a minute and lookdown each cylinder to find thecylinder that does not have the mainbearing web sticking out in the wayof the hone.
For example, on a Chevy small
block V8, take a look at number onecylinder. You will most likely findthat you can run the hone out of thebottom of number one cylinder a lotfarther than you can on any of theother cylinders. If you think yourstones may be slightly tapered, starthoning on that cylinder first. Setyour bottom stop so that you canstroke the hone out of the bottom ofthe cylinder about one third thelength of the stones. Bring the stonesout of the top of the cylinder the

same amount. Move the hone up anddown the cylinder about 20 strokes.Then reverse your hone and the honemotor and stroke the hone about 20strokes in the other direction. Usethat cylinder as you would a truingsleeve to get your stones straight andcurved to the shape of the bores youare honing.
Yes, stones do reshape themselvesdepending on the bore size you arehoning. When I am honing a V8 or a4-cylinder engine, I try to hone thecylinders in the following order(3,1,4,2). I start with the thirdcylinder from the front of a V8 blockor the third cylinder from the front ofa 4-cylinder block first.
Then I move over to the firstcylinder skipping the secondcylinder. After honing the firstcylinder I move to the rear cylinderand then back to the second cylinder.
Rolling StonesDeciding which stones to use willdepend on what you are trying to do,and of course, the machine you areusing. You may only see three or foursets of stones listed in some of themachine shop suppliers catalogs.They may list a course, medium andfine stone set, and perhaps a superfine cork set. There are many morestone sets available from mostmanufacturers. Look through theircatalogs until you find the stoneslisted for your hone. I ran into somereally hard cylinder sleeves and I
needed a softer set of stones to beable to hone them. I found what Ineeded online.
Here’s some examples of whatstones sets I use:
1. If I am building a stock streetengine, and I have left .003 to honeout, I usually start out with a J-43grit stone. I usually run the J-43stones backwards at first. Usingplenty of honing oil flow I set mystops and begin to hone. All engineblocks do not hone at the same rate. Idon’t care what anybody says aboutall cast iron being the same. It is notall the same. A 327 Chevy block may
hone very quickly.An Internationaltruck block maytake three timesas long to removethe same amountof metal. Allblocks are not thesame! I hone myfirst cylinder 20strokes and thencheck it with mycylinder gauge.This way I can geta feel for howquickly the metalis coming out. I
also check for taper. I may need toreverse my hone if I begin to see anytaper. Do not wait until you get tothe finish stones to try to correcttaper. Do it now! I continue to honeuntil I get down to .0015 of myfinished size. Then I switch to a finerstone. I usually use a J-45 stone gritand run it clockwise to get down to.0005 of my finish size. Then I use a J-55 stone to bring me to my finishsize. I do this with all my cylinders.Now I let my block sit for a whileand do something else for an hour ortwo. I come back and re-check myblock. Almost without exception theblock will be slightly under myfinish size. I then use a set of J-65stones to bring me back to my finish

Note the notch on top of the guide shoe which is needed to clear the hone driveshaft (LEFT). Here is a look at an AN hone head being lowered into a cylinderthrough a torque plate (RIGHT). Notice that the stones are installed so that thehone will be turned counter clockwise.

size. The J-55 and J-65 stones willgive you the correct surface finish formost ring sets to seat properly. Yes ittakes time.
2. If I am building a performanceengine and I am using a torque plateon the block I again start out with
my J-43 set of stones and run thembackwards. I stop honing when I getto .002 from my finish size. Then Ichange direction and hone clockwisewith a set of J-45 stones until I get.001 away from my finish size. I usemy J-55 stone set to get me down to
.005 of my finish size. Then I use myJ-65 stones to get me to down to thewidth of the needle on my dial boregage from my finish size. Then I usemy J-87 stone set to get me to myfinish size. I let the block sit for anhour or more. I recheck all thecylinders and use my J-87 stones tomake any corrections. When they areall at my finish bore size I removethe J-87 stones from the hone bodyand install a cork set. I usually runthe cork set for about 30 to 50strokes.
3. If we are going to freshen up ablock that has been run or raced andit is already a somewhat worn andscratched up +.030 bore size and weare going to go to +.035 (specialpistons) or to +.040, I will usuallyhone it to size.

I start out with a J-17 or a J-11 gritstone set depending on how hard thecylinder wall metal is andconcentrate my honing in the area ofthe cylinder that is the least wornfirst. These low-number stone setswill take out metal quickly. I start outrunning the J-17 or J-11 stone setbackwards (counter clockwise). Asthe cylinder begins to straighten outI will begin to stroke the full lengthof the cylinder. I keep checking thebore size and I also watch for taper. Imay need to reverse my roughingstone set if I see any taper when Icheck the cylinder. When I am downto .003 below my finish bore size, Iswitch over to a J-43 set and runthem clockwise until I get down to.002” of my finish size. Next I switchto the J-45 stones and hone down to.001” below my finish bore size. Fora street driven engine I finish upusing a set of J-55 or J-65 stones. Fora performance engine I finish upwith the J-87 stones. Again, I let theblock sit for an hour or more and re-check the bore sizes.
Hone ToneMake sure you listen to your hone —it is trying to tell you something! Asyou hone a cylinder, your hone willbe letting you know how things aregoing inside the cylinder by thesound it makes. When a hone isworking properly, it will make asound similar to the sound you hearwhen you sand a piece of metal witha sheet of sand paper. If you areusing a J-17 grit stone at the time thesound will be like sanding withcoarse sand paper. As you movecloser to your finish bore size andhave switched to a finer set of stones,the sound will change to a softersound. If the hone is squealing andscreaming — there is somethingwrong.
You may be stroking the hone upand down the cylinder too slowly.Increase your stroking speed andtake a look at your cross hatchpattern. If the angle of the crosshatch is too flat you are stroking thehone too slowly. A squeal on one endof the cylinder or the other mayindicate that the cylinder is tapered.Reverse the hone rotation and
reverse the stones. Another reasonthe stones may be squealing is thatthey are loaded up with materialthey have removed. Increasing thepressure on the stones will not fix theproblem if they are loaded up.
I always keep a plain ordinarysharpening stone, you know, thekind the tool truck man gives you fora Christmas gift, next to my honingmachine.
Use the sharpening stone toclean the hone stones. Just a fewlight strokes along each stone is allthat is needed toclean it.
All you wantto do is removethe material thatis loading upthe stone so thatthe sharpabrasive can doits job. The finerstones tend toload up morequickly. Youmay need to
clean them after each cylinder. And use a sharpening stone
to clean the hone stone.
Cleaning UpWe wash every block we honewith soap and hot water, even ifthe customer says he will wash itwhen he gets it back to his shop.We use Tide or Dawn liquiddetergent, hot water and a brushto clean each cylinder wall.Follow the soap and water witha hot water pressure wash.Then, quickly spray the blockwith WD-40 or somethingsimilar to keep it from rusting.The freshly honed cylinders willbegin to rust within secondsafter washing them. Spray theWD on the cylinders even if theyare still wet. The water willcome out of the metal and runoff. The cylinders will look
bright and shiny when you arefinished.

Continued from page 47
McLain said he uses a sharpening stone toclean the hone stone.
In the ‘Choosing the Right Oil’ article in theFebruary issue, the following sentence shouldhave run as: Thus, a 5W-20 oil acts like a
straight 5W oil for easier cold-weather cranking and lubrication of critical upper valve train components, and maintains its viscosity whenhot, like a SAE 30 oil for good oil film strength and oil pressure. ■
