i did one on the number 2 on my friends car, total time was about 3 1/2 hours, im not new to this stuff either in any way, That was including the time to take down crossmember, pull both upper and lower pan, all baffles, pull the old bearing, clean the surfaces, install new bearing, lube everything up, torque the rod bolts, turn the crank over by hand, clean the pans, silicone the pans and reinstall them. Allow 1 hour for silicone to cure enough to put the oil in. And start the bad boy up. Just did it this morning. Very very easy to do. hardest part is getting the new top bearing into place on the rod and cleaning the top bearing seat on the rod. Hard to get your hands up in there.
Take your time and do it right, if you want the torque specs Its first step 11 ft/lbs then 31 ft/lbs and call it good. Started it up after everything was back together and motor sounded great with no more stupid rod knock,
Funny thing is i have another one coming up on a 200sx se-r on another good friends car, just spun it last night when driving the car hard for an extended period of time having some fun. his is on the #1. Piece of cake, haha i guess its just a bad time of year or something. haha but then again these cars have their original motors in them with 145k and 164k miles on them. The nx i just did, i just turbod it. Still in the tuning process.
