Hey guys,

Does anyone have a link, or info on stripping down and rebuilding gearboxes, tools required? My motor and box are out atm, and there's a very slight nick into 3rd i'd like to rectify, also setup the preloads and build it a little bit tougher to handle 400+ hp without popping in a hurry. I've stripped a couple of boxes before, but it's more about building this time round.

It's only a standard GSR box, if that helps or makes a difference.

Thank Ya'll.

Hey all,

I may very well open a big can of worms here, but here goes.

I recently, well actually not all that recently had a rod spit a great big dirty hole in the side of my block. I was originally running Arias pistons, Eagle rods, etc and making 400whp, which was quick enough for me. I'm pretty certain that my big end failed, as the others that have since come out have some pitting on the rod side. I didn't build this motor so i don't know what the specs are/were, so meh!

So now that my finances are healthy again after reno's I'm keen to get it all back together again. So my next debate is, I have a tidy looking factory bottom end in my garage and was planning on bolting my worked head onto it to see how we go. then again on the other hand I'm thinkin well the motor is half apart already, why not build it. Alas there could be some drama there also, as before I spat this rod, I managed to (within 6 hours of rego, after 2 years off the road ) get an DECC (EPA) emissions compliance check issued to me, thanks to a F@#kin P plater tailgating me trying to push me to squirt it. Which of course happen to grab the police's attention and I'm the one who gets nailed. (Even though his au falcon ute looked as though it was a destruction derby leftover)

So the drama being that, it might make it difficult to build a motor and put it through emissions before it's run in, Thoughts? I've spoken to Matt at HITMAN and he seems confident he can get me through an IM240, with my mods, save me failing the compliance check, as I've got no hope.

Also, what are people's opinion on good reliable (if 400whp is ever reliable ) choices for forged rods, pistons, bearings, specs, clearances? I hear of people tightening up the clearances on the big end and mains, to run a big(ger) boosted motor?

I've had one suggestion to a SCAT/CP piston combo, Arp mains, rod bolts, L19 head studs, Permaseal or Cometic H/G. Girdle on the mains caps, 1.5thou clearance on the big ends, CP's recommended Piston to wall clearances, Mains don't know??
I'm aiming for the 400whp mark again, with a factor of safety as i would like to not be building another motor in a great hurry.

Also what do you think I would be looking at costwise? Machining and parts? (I'll assemble the motor my self, and have a few bits and pieces already) I've been doing quite a bit of poking around on extremepsi.com and the parts don't seem to be all that expensive.

So people's thoughts, opinions, questions, suggestions, comments would be greatly appreciated.

I' not even sure that I've quite conveyed, what I mean but it's a start and we'll go from here. I need to get some motivation going again, come inspire me!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Sean
