just have 2 questions
1) For the timing chain , the 2 black mating marks are for the cam sprockets and the yellow one is for the crank right? 2) how would i know my oil pump is dead which was the cause of bearing failure?? i put oil in the pump and spun it around a couple times and oil did shoot out the other side... |

ok so no one has asked my question that if the yellow mark on the timing chain is for the crank...
ok i just assembled the whole bottom end...got my bearings in today and put it all together...plastigage read .002 in on each bearing... torqued down the crank main and rod caps to specs and the crank is still so hard to spin, what gives?? |

wiggle it wiggle it wiggle it. that;s how you always do it. get some man power and pry bars. get the bitch on. it;s only a KA shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to drop in.

get one mount, "just in" and push the bottom TIP (not the threads) of the other mount to line it up. Lower it as you are lining it up, and it should "fall into place".

Are you dropping in the motor with the transmission or without...
I had the same problem getting my motor in but I just muscled it in... So I don't have any secrets there... As for your other questions 1. I don't know the mating marks for SR timing... 2. You can't check the oil pump outside of the engine... You would need to have the engine running and have an oil pressure gauge... If the pressure is below whatever the FSM says, you must replace... 3. The crank was difficult for me to turn also after I assembled the motor but I just used a breaker bar to make the first turn and then it turned from there... The next day it was stiff again so I did the same thing... After a while it will loosen up... 4. I used Nissan OEM oil filter, Castrol GTX, NGK copper plugs, Redline Shockproof tranny fluid, and distilled water to turn the engine on... After I am sure there are no leaks and everything works I am going to switch to Honda coolant but everything remains... I'll change the oil and filter out after 500 miles though... Good luck... keep us updated... |

its not a swap , the car used to run before this...i just took the sr out and rebuilt it so in theory it should just start up after i connect everything...
i was just way too tired to troubleshoot it last night...but it still doesnt make any sense why im not getting interior power |

try a different starter and maybe a alternator - check to make sure you have everything connected - correctly! Dont just say well I know I hooked it up right - check it agin closley! replace fuses - they are cheap! Thats where I would start. And also check to see if you have spark - you said you havent done that yet.
