Hey guys, i bought another SR20 off Osaka motors after i put a rod through my old one and the new engine they sent me was pure garbage (needs sleeves) so i am doing a complete bottom end build. anyways i’m in the process of taking it apart and i’m at the rods. I took the nuts off the studs but i can’t get the 2 peices of hte rod to separate for me. now i don’t want to fuck the rods and i don’t want to fuck crank. any ideas what tools/techniques to use?? thanks guys, Fitzy p.s: Everyone @ Osaka can go to hell :lol: ---

I’ll try to explain! You need a shop to do that!Why?Because they have a press machine that uses compression to disconnect the rod from the crankshaft!Sorry man that is something that i am sure you won’t be able to do without pay someone! I can be wrong but i don’t know other way to disconnect the rods from crank man!Sorry! ---

Be like me, get someone els to do it maybe its cuz u suck pistons, rods, bearings, crank, headgasket, nuts and bolts, piston rings, oil pan, cylinder head, cams, valves… weird like almost ever other engine on the planet, maybe u know some secret magic hidden issue with re-building an engine, any monkey with an fsm can do this, if ur a smart monkey a.k.a. grease monkey u can do it with just a spec sheet. Maybe he wants to learn, maybe he feels he has the ability to do the work himself. maybe u just suck ---

so 1 useful response out of the 10… 10% thats pretty good for SON :lol: no i know they come apart, this is my 2nd tear down, but the 1st one was a spun bearing with a rod making 3 holes and an exit out the block so i really didn’t give a fuck about hurting anything haha. anyways thanks for the one useful response from someone who knew what they were talking about :lol: Fitzy ---

You ordered something from Osaka?..everyone use this as an example why Osaka is garbage. This guy went to look at the Skylines they had for sale, a bunch fo them didn’t even have oil in the engine and the guy who works there said “In Japan, they run like that, it’s normal.” So…NEVER GO TO OSAKA.
