John

They smell burnt.

John

Do.
You know the torque spec of the connecting rod cap bolts.

John

Is it rod bearing bolts 48 to 51 foot-pounds?

Rod bearings are the connection rod caps on the piston is on. So yes.

John

I'm waiting for RTV to dry on the oil pan

MazdaMitch

John you don't have to let it dry put it all together.

John

How soon can I put oil in it and start it.RTV said 24h before fluids

MazdaMitch

John oh yes definitely I would wait 24 hours for sure.
Just to be on the safe side.

I'm also for following manufacturer's instructions.

I say this as I'm stuck in the shower and the shampoo instructions state: "Lather. Rinse. Repeat". So I keep repeating - how when I know when I can stop??????

MazdaMitch

Cusser I did that too, and thats how I lost most of my hair I believe. Well THAT and the headboard....

Cusser keep going until you're out of shampoo.

John

I'm in a shower and my shampoo is oil. So I have a truck completely back together but haven't cranked yet. I'm guessing waiting on RTV to dry but I need to drive the truck to work tomorrow. I only need this engine to last long. Enough to get my camey fixed and then I'm going to pull it out and put an FE3 from a 2002 Kia Sportage in it.

John

It's raining really hard. I'm trying to get the truck back together and I'm soaking wet that's what I'm saying.

John

To drive to work Tomorrow Or Not to Drive to work. Tomorrow is the question.

MazdaMitch

John Call in sick.

John

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the support. I'm Sure, I'm going to have future adventures. I'll let you know if anything happens.

John

Oh yeah I'm John's xterra on YouTube
