lol
-
thats the sort of shit i would do
-
I bought a $700 lathe so i could make that not look completely stupid.
-
I think with a die grinder and a little time it could be made to work, just have to get rid of a few sharp edges. Then get a syringe and some water and make sure there all close, good to go. O0

He just didnt finish the job, I would rock them anytime.
-
Funny part is he sold the engine. Would have been funny if they had installed it and try to start it.

thats acually very common with some types of engine building, diesels, porsche's ect

That can only be the work of a stupid ass puerto rican. THey're always trying to do something on the cheap but always end up fucking shit up.

Vitaras also have a very thick crown. With how the 1.7 stroker setups bump CR up to a horrible 9:1 CR, lathing a piston down is one of the ways in which we've discussed lowering CR back down to a heavenly 7.5:1.

we talked a guy into JB welding his pistons to raise the compression. the fake magazine article is awesome.

ahh holy fuck thats funny, did he ever run it

Local guy made some pistons out of blanks on the grinder. Ended up being 14.5:1 compression and in a 351w stock bore and svo heads made 612 wheel Hp. Trips the 60' lights on the rear tires in a mustang cobra II.

interesting. would you be just facing the piston off and making a flat top out of it to lower compression? Or maybe put a slight dish on the piston?

And what rods are you thinking on using?
If I recall correctly, the D17 BE width is quite narrow.
Crowers maybe, but that seems a bit too spendy for a project that is probably based off of mostly free parts.

I do this to DI diesel pistons a lot, which is fun because the combustion chamber is eccentric to the O.D.
By the way its called "turning", not "lathing".

Oh shit I can't wait to see JD's response. Never seen him get called out on anything.

Turning is every bit as inaccurate as lathing. It's a garbage baby word meant to communicate with simpletons. The actual machining operations possible on a lathe are cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation. The procedure being discussed, if it's called anything, is cutting.
ok??

Actually, no, you are wrong. Turning is the process of turning the work piece, instead of the cutter like on a milling machine. Turning does not, and is not intended to dictate the the method of material removal or forming thereafter. Turning is a process, a lathe is an object. You know the difference.

you are arguing over nothing, shut up.
Now back on topic,
I'm looking at the used set of vitaras for my vitara ls rod build I'll never finish, doesn't seen to be too much material between the underside of the piston and the bottom of the dish.
maybe taking a small amount off the top edges, and making the dish wider would be the way to go? Although taking material off the top would result in the rings being closer to the top of the piston, might not be good.

Cry the tears of a thousand whores.
You would probably be best off dropping the bowl area including the radius given there is enough material in the cross sectional area. I wouldn't try making the bowl wider unless I was out of options.

I was going to say the same thing when I read that but I knew I'd probably get a 500 word paragraph on why I was wrong.

Sorry but your wrong. At my work we have over 100 lathes (a couple 9 axis Okumas :yes: ) and if I would ever say "lathing" I'd be laughed at. That machining operation is called turning becuase your using a single point tool and rotating the workpiece using a lathe. Also, sanding is not a machining operation (even if it was directly quoted from Wikipedia.) ;)
-
yup if i asked to have something lathed down at work they would look at me funny. sorry joey, owning a lathe doesnt make you an expert on machinist jargon.
-
turning a part down is correct nomenclature if you're talking about using a lathe. I've done a wee bit of machine work before.

Read whatever you want to into it. I had a two year degree in CNC machining from the late 90s and basically no experience since. I'm qualified to not crash the tool holder into the chuck, and not much more, and I don't give a fuck about correct terminology.

There's no way you have your machinist papers or a "CNC machining degree" and make a statement like this:

I think he meant he took some classes for 2 years. You have to remember where we live, his teacher probably didnt know/care about proper terminology.

If you didn't care about the terminology and you were truely apathetic than why did you put in the effort to look it up on wikipedia and try to correct him on the terminology?

Wikipedia definition for a lathe:
lathe (pronounced /ˈleɪð/) is a machine tool which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation
Seems like a lot of effort for an apathetic person. :P
Also its not a grammer issue either, its a spreading of misinformation issue. I know alot of people don't think its a big deal because they aren't in the machining industry, but what you said is no different than someone calling a supercharger a turbo than defending why its not actually a supercharger and proclaiming they have a degree in forced induction. Everyone on this site would bust balls for that.
