Post subject:  1.3 engine info

Hey guys, I have looked around but can't find the info I am after, I am doing a little project with my son.
We have an sj70 with a g13b single cam engine in it. we have stripped it down and going to give it a rebuild, rings and bearings.
When I am looking and kits on the net it ask for standard or over size.
I can t fine what standard measurements are for this engine.
What is the standard bore size
when it comes to bearing how do I know if they are standard what measurements should they be,

any help would be great as we are looking forward to putting it back together.

thanks in advance

Paul

Take the block & crank to an experienced machinist and have him measure them - he will tell you how worn they are - what he will be looking at is not the actual size but the "ovality" - how out of round they are, how much of a wear ridge there is at the top of the bore, how much taper there is in the bore and how much scoring (if any) there is on the crank journals - this is what will determine if you can "re-ring" or you need to bore & fit OS pistons, and whether the crank can be reused as is or needs to be reground.

I'll update this post with the "standard" dimensions later today - my manuals are at home, and I'm not.

This is pretty critical. My understanding is that G series engines are notorious for ovalising their bores. It's why home rebuilds generally have a short life - If low compression was the cause for the engine being stripped, it's most likely going to need a proper rebore with a deck plate installed, not a hone.

thanks guys, I will take down to the machine shop and get them to check it for me. If we are going to do it we may as well do it properly.

Be prepared to abandon the build if the machinist comes back with bad news. These are cheap and cheaply made engines, and generally aren't really worth rebuilding in my opinion. Find a Swift/Barina motor in better condition, or look to a 1.6 upgrade.

A well executed 1.6 EFI conversion will cost less than a reasonable rebuild on a 1.3 if any machine work is required. One gives you a stock motor back, one gives you 30% more power and torque (not to mention improved reliability due to EFI)

From the FSM ...

The cylinder bore diameter limit 74.15mm, taper & out of round limit 0.10mm - so if the bore diameter is greater that 74.15, or if the out of round or taper is more than 0.10 mm, you'll need to bore oversize.

Crank-pin diameter 41.982~42.000mm, out of round & taper limit 0.01mm - if the crank is smaller than 41.982 or has more out of round or taper than 0.01mm, you'll have to grind & go undersized.

Steve - this is where you & I will have to disagree - these engines can be rebuilt successfully - maybe we do things differently here, maybe good used engines are more readily available there - but I prefer to rebuild because at the end of the exercise I know what's under the bonnet.
