Last week I bought engine GA000099 from Freezing914 in the hopes of picking up some spare parts to support rebuild of the engine that came with my vehicle.
During the teardown of my vehicles engine, it is quickly becoming clear that the engine was abused by some DAPO. Cooling flaps and thermostat had been removed. Rust in the sump. The crank was scored and already 0.010" undersized. The oil pump was torn up. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the engine that came with my vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) 14 hours of driving seems to have netted me an engine that might be worthy of a rebuild. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This engine appears to be bone stock. D-jet mostly complete. As an added bonus I discovered upon teardown that none of the cooling tin fasteners have ever been disturbed. No screwdriver marks! But . . . like any engine of this age and unknown origin, it absolutely needs to be gone though. |

Continuation of piston and cylinder measurement.
I've been measuring pistons and cylinders and not quite believing the results. A few days ago I was measuring cylinders and comparing between the new set of KolbenSchmidt Pistons and Cylinders (P&C's) and those from GA000099. I measured 1st with a Mitutoyo snap gauge and my Chinese micrometer. Coming up right on the money for the cylinder. Right around 94mm with no real taper. ![]() So then I did a quick check of the snap gauge with a set of Mitutoyo calipers. Same result about 94.02mm. 0.02mm = .0008" so about 0.001" over size. New cylinder size is 94mm with tolerance of 0.02mm - 0.05mm for new parts per factory manual with a upper wear limit at 0.2mm which is about .008". Not quite believing this, I took the time to set up a bore gauge at 94mm. Sure enough, still coming in about 0.001" oversize to the 94mm gauge (sorry for swapping units back and forth). ![]() This does align pretty well to the fact that the cylinders visually look good and I can still see some of the original hone / hatch marks. Pretty amazing that these are still in great shape and can probably be cleaned up with just a light re-hone. Here's a quick video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ObzdlUJhhc |
