Blown Y8
Piston #4 on my Y8 block
Top left has a 3/8 inch chunk missing. Also the intake and exhaust valves for that cylinder are bent. |

The Z6 head:
I relapped the valves and cleaned the crap out of it. I might also go ahead port and polish the exhaust ports. I'm not sure yet, since I caught a flu today. I learned that Y8 VTEC solenoid and Z6 VTEC solenoid is not interchangeable. The bolt holes dont match. If this shit doesnt work, I'm gonna go ahead go a different route. Sell this whole turbo set-up and get either a full GSR swap or build myslef and LSVTEC. Who knows, I might even boost it. For now, I just need tohave a reliable daily driver.... |

Heh, thanks. Also notice my sig, i finally can navigate photoshop a little.
what'd you do for all motor mods? My plans are: *set of cams (haven't decided yet because that's so far in the future it's rediculous) but either Skunk 2 or Toda probably stage2 *Upgraded valvetrain, springs, retainers, the works *clutch + flywheel *comptech ice box *test pipe *hondata *JDM Final drive possibly with gsr 5th gear (i'd go ATS 4.9, but i don't think i could stand turning 4500+ rpm at 70 mph :o ) haven't decided if i'd change pistons/rods yet... but that's the pipe dream

Ben, will you then buy my pistons and rods?
Therm: I notice that around your location, the deals are cheaper than here with bigger quantities too. What are the chances of you finding me a sleeved b20 shortblock? I no longer have the time to actually drive down to cali to get sleeved...lemme know.

^ that will be hard. I already have a friend looking for a B20 and it's hard to find.... let alone a sleeved one. I will keep an eye for one tho and will surely let you know
