keep your engine complete and sell it to pay for the new one.

If you want to fit a z22se crank then you also have to use the z22se rods and pistons, well probably better to use Eagle steel rods and wiseco pistons - but you could use some z22se pistons as they are good for upto 300bhp.
The Saab 2.0 rods are too short for the longer throw of the z22se crank and the Saab pistons use a thicker gudgen pin (23mm) than the z22se rods (20mm), so cannot be used.
yeah thought as much 🙁 @[deleted] so whats the difference in rod length z22se vs b207R thought the crank gave the stroke ? had saw the pins are different in the above chart
will have to wait to get a rod and piston combo
head wash time

degreaser and a jet wash 🙂

all clean now no more swarf


decided to grind all the valves in again just incase the seats were different from the polishing step
each valve got a lubed up


nice clean rim

inlet side done

the exhaust side looked better from a grind in

started to refit the valve springs

the ports should how help with flow
