Pyrorocketeer Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Woo hoo, my new garratt t3 bearings came in today!.. Now i can finally rebuild my turbo thats been dismantled for about a month! I'll post some more pics tonight!
cranny Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 i need to order a kit for my T05 as well pyro , just no time or money till xmas is over. too much play in the shaft to run it. you know they sell kits that comes with the new journal bearings and new thrust bearings(end play). new seals so on. there 80 bucks off ebay.
mycarsux Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Oh man cranny. Just you mentioning thrust bearings and end play brought me back to when I was into DSM's and I read so many articles on crankwalk. Lol. EDIT: Double-post FTL
Hatch92 Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 DSM's suck with the crank walk. my buddy's gone through 4 blocks because of it.
mycarsux Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Your buddy should have realized he can get a custom thrust bearing that helps prevent crankwalk. Or he should have just got the 1g 4G63 But all that is off topic. I wanna know what those compressor bearings are made of.
mycarsux Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I'm gonna go on a limb and say that they were made using powder metallurgy. If so they might have some graphite imprenated for lubrication.
Pyrorocketeer Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 no, they weren't. there is no lead in them. they aren't main bearings for an engine.
cranny Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 might be a combo of metals in them though , usually a combo of certain metals is better for oil retention rather than one metal. i think thats another prolem and difference , i forgot to mention when SSR was calling me an idiot again , lol , with a D16Y8 rather a D16Z6 , Z6 utilizes trimetal bearings , when Y8 uses bimetal , i think i read that somewhere.
mycarsux Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I found out the other day that they cut crank bearings with wire EDM
Pyrorocketeer Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 they use a wire edm to cut them? you sure?
mycarsux Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 That's what my prof told me. How else can you get such ridiculously small cuts?
Pyrorocketeer Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 there aren't really any small cuts in bearings....just a full circle, or half circle.
