This is Parker's 90 G60 Lysholm Screw YeloCorado Picture Page.
These pictures are being taken while assembling the new 16V Lysholm S/C motor.
This is a picture of the #1 cylinder bore. Take note of the Piston Oil squirter poking up just above the crank. This G60 block got bored out to 83.5mm and the oil squirter is now hitting the piston skirt. Time to get the dremel out and clearance the squirter mount hanging over the bottom of the cylinder bore. Hope this is the worse problem I encounter. Notice the stainless O-ring on top of the Block, a definite for boosted cars, especially when using a copper head gasket.
If you look at the squirter, you can see the piston skirt hitting the edge of the squirter mount. The rod to the bottom of the picture is the intermediate shaft that drives the oil pump.
These are the bad boy Ross Forged pistons to fill the holes in Parkers box. Who needs destructions?
This is the business end of the piston, note the notches cut out of the skirt to clear the piston oilers.
These are the reconditioned Connecting rods from the G60 motor. They are full floating wrist pin design and have had ARP rod bolts installed to keep the heavy forged pistons where they belong, inside the motor!
This is Forged steel crank from the G60 motor. It was polished by the machine shop. This was a remanned motor from VW of America, got installed back east after Parker ran the first motor a little too hard... This factory rebuilt had the main bearings turned .020" under size, but had standard connecting rods. hmmm. All reciprocating parts of this motor were balanced to keep things smooth.
This is the piston assembly being lubed up prior to installation in the block. Note the rod bearing installed in rod and the fuel line used to protect the crank during rod install.
This motor is going to use the 16v head, so we used the intermediate shaft from the donor 16V motor. Note the difference in the snout where the timing belt pulley is installed. The 16V shaft is much shorter and has a keyway machined into the snout. The original G60 shaft 's snout is much longer and has a separate woodruff key to keep pulley lined up. The pulley above is the stock 8V G60 unit. Notice the teeth on the pulley.
These are the intermediate shaft pulleys from the 8V (left) and the 16V ( right). The cranks pulley in the middle is the stock 8V G60 unit. The smaller gear is the oil pump driver gear from the 16V motor. Notice the difference in size between the 8V pulley and the 16V pulley. The 16V is smaller in diameter so it will spin the oil pump faster providing more volume to keep the lifters quiet ( ok, so maybe they will tick a little....) You can see the splines used on the oil pump drive.
This picture is the front crank main bearing. It is being checked for clearance with Plasti-gauge. This was the tightest bearing, it was .001". All the rest were measured and were about .015". Going to have killer oil pressure in this motor.
That is all for now, be putting the motor together tomorrow, after I fix those damn oil squirters. Going to have plenty more picture tomorrow night.
Hope you enjoyed this Parker..
