these five videos give a great lesson on how to build an engine from the beginning, thank you, very useful to me. It would be awesome if they make another series of videos on how to build the Suzuki´s transmission and attach this to the motor.
Camilo Ramírez Thanks for the comment Camilo. We still have a few video's left in the 1.3L Engine rebuild series. They will be posted soon. Now, in reference to a transmission rebuild video series. I am assuming you are referring to a standard transmission. We considered doing a video on the transmission rebuild but opted to do written instructions with full color pictures in each step. Here is the link for these instructions. www.lowrangeoffroad.com/instruction-sheets/samurai-instuctions/samurai-transmission-rebuild-kits-and-parts-i-ii.html. Keep in mind we sell all parts needed to rebuild the transmission at www.lowrangeoffroad.com. We also did instructions on the Samurai transmission remove and replace. www.lowrangeoffroad.com/instruction-sheets/samurai-instuctions/86-95-suzuki-samurai-transmission.html. Hope this is helpful.
That sounds like a very legitimate reason. Good to know. I've never built an engine with more than one cylinder. Thank you for the tip. Your videos are very helpful. I'm working on the trans right now. Will be disassembling the engine in a a few wknds. Thank you for the reply.
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Jonas Kenneth i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It helps the bolts reach CONSISTENT torque specs. Lube helps the bolts not Gaul up the thread and get stuck somewhat down the hole. TTY bolts need to be preloaded correctly to seal the head properly. They will stretch under load, and there is a possibility of blowing a gasket if they are not correctly stretched.
I am glad that you didn't try to use the OLD head bolts, I have seen mechanics do that. :O Was it really necessary to torque gradually the head bolts? I have seen where some manufacturers suggest torquing just the once to the max allowed.
I have a problem: Oil gets in my radiator, but no water in the oil found, also the oil looks normal. What could it be? I've got an 1988 Samurai 1.3 japanese model
+Meister Raul With out tearing down the engine it would be difficult to trouble shoot. But my best guess would be a bad head gasket. The engine oil is under greater pressure (about 30psi) than the cooling system (less than 15psi) there for oil pressure wins and the oil is going into the cooling system. There is an oil passage between the block and the head (at the front of the engine) that is sealed by the head gasket. I am betting that is where your problem is. If, when you pull the head and the gasket looks good at that location there is probably a crack in the head or block allowing oil to pass from the oil system to the cooling system. See Circle below. Good luck with this. If we can be of further assistance let us know. www.lowrangeoffroad.com. or call and ask for William at 8018056644 during working hours. 8-5:00 M-F Mountain Standard Time. We have all the parts you'd need.
+blazvignater Because we have not had any problems with the head bolts backing out, we have not felt a need to apply threadlocker. Applying lube to the threads will result in less friction and a more accurate torque on the bolt resulting in better, more even clamping between the head and the block. Additionally, I spoke with our machine shop and they agree that lubing the threads is a good idea. Thanks for watching and commenting.
+Tuentin Qarantino Thanks for the question. There is no gasket sealer of any kind necessary with the head gasket that we supply for the 1.3L Samurai engine. But, of course it is always good to follow the gasket manufactures recommendation as to, if when and what kind of gasket sealer should be used with the various gasket applications. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
I brought a suzuki baleno last week 1.6L but the head gasket is blown. So i tried to replace it myself but got a problem with a timing belt, kind of hard to access there... so i decided to bring the car to someone who understand. So this video was very usefull for me. And i know a suzuki samurai swift and baleno is almost the same engines. Thanx again
+MadWeiner I am not sure. But, If you'd like to call 801-805-6644 between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm MST and ask for William, I am sure he can help you with your needs. He should be here for another 10 minutes today and first half of the day tomorrow. Then, back again on Monday Jan 4th.
What are the thoughts on using a head gasket sealer? I am asking because I purchased this gasket and it failed on me prematurely; Low Rage Off Road was great and sent me a replacement gasket! There is a low spot on my block reading -0.003" off (spec is 0.002") on the front corner outer wall and I am just terrified of the gasket failing again.
I checked with our engine builder William and he said, " Tell him if he is using a KP head gasket it should be ok . If using an any other brand head gasket, throw it away and get a KP" Thanks for watching and commenting.
+Kjell kødd We are in the process of writing instructions on carburetor overhaul right now. When completed they will be posted in our Suzuki Samurai Library. Watch for it. Should be done in a week or two. Here is the link to where the instructions will be posted: www.lowrangeoffroad.com/instruction-sheets/samurai-instuctions.html
+Kjell kødd Yes, there is a vacuum operated idle-up system that is controlled by the computer. It is designed to increase idle speed when certain conditions exist. One of those conditions is when you turn on the lights. If this Idle-up system is increasing engine speed too high it can be adjusted. This adjustment is on the back of the carburetor. It is a bolt with a spring around it and it has a 12mm head on it. Decrease the idle-up speed by turning this bolt clockwise. Hope this helps.

@Jonas Kenneth It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Kyrie Darwin you are welcome xD
Can people from Australia purchase parts from your company and ship to here ???
So, I need to see how you installed the valves assembly
Hi, sorry, what brand did you use for the head gasket?
The method of explanation and installation I have done magnificence Thank you very much
Thank you, Which is a better way to sequence, neither ft lbs or degree?
I also have samurai but my bike kick has not working and my bike in gear is working very hard and in neutral it's work properly so whats the solution
Should I use cooper spray (permatex) on the head gasket? It is the high performance gasket set I bought from LowRange
Ivan Cumpian It is not necessary to use any gasket sealer with the head gaskets we sell. Thanks for viewing our video's.
Thank you for sharing tips how to rebuilds Suzuki samurai engine 1.3L
why is assembly lube used on the cylinder head bolt threads?
+锤子 Yes I want to know the same. Why not threadlok?
It helps the bolts reach CONSISTENT torque specs. Lube helps the bolts not Gaul up the thread and get stuck somewhat down the hole. TTY bolts need to be preloaded correctly to seal the head properly. They will stretch under load, and there is a possibility of blowing a gasket if they are not correctly stretched.
Very usefull information. Maybe some videos on carborators rebuilt or tuning and/or proper wiring can also be helpfull. Nice job
Norbert Dirksz We will consider your recommendations. Thanks for the comment.
Qual a altura do cabeçote? Estou com um modelo Aki pra plainar e estou com medo de matar a altura. Se vc tiver a altura std manda pfv

+Meister Raul I tried to attach a diagram of the lubrication system but RUclips would not allow it. Sorry:(
+lowrangeoffroad Thanks a lot for your answer, I really appreciate it. Please send me the diagram of the lubrication system at meister_raul@yahoo.com
Why assembly lube on the headbolts instead of threadlok?
+blazvignater Because we have not had any problems with the head bolts backing out, we have not felt a need to apply threadlocker.

Don't you need to put some silicone between the gasket and cylinder head ?

I wanna suzuki 2.5 carburetor how much prise
Where can I purchase head bolts and the head itself for a 1.3 G13b(G13BB) engine?

i have heared people that bring the 1.3l block to 1.6 and couple the engine with the gearbox of the 1.0l engine

Very good video
thank you so much. very good video.
can you do a Carb too?

thx!
and do you know why my engine rews up alot when i put my lights on? park lights or drive lights, the engine keep going wild.
