Don't hang about do ya lol
so much easier to take apart when its just sat on a palletWas just thinking the same myself!
not sure if the group buy is on still you would have to ask ArticMonkey on vx220.org the engines come from http://www.neobrothers.co.uk/comple...p-3637.html?osCsid=gtcn61hhvnhqeumg7b241p5h45nice one carl
getting myself one of these lumps if they haven't sold out?
thankslooking good carl, giz a shout if you want a hand. or just someone to pass you tools,
iv got a really nice quiet engine now so dont mind travelling.
no idea but its gonna be more that it with the way they are there like half the size of the inlet ports lolLooks like your gonna do a propper job on that, what difference are you expecting from porting the head BHP wise??
got nowt else to do lolyou really don't hang around carl
ordered my new engine today.
are they for a z22se engine? do you know the difference in horses roughly?I am currently opening up the exhaust ports on two heads, I will take some pictures as you need to remove quite a bit more material
thanks @vockythe Saab thermostat housing doesn't fit onto the F23 gearbox, so just remove the new thermostat and the oblong seal from the side. These can then be used on a z22se thermostat housing.
Oil jet is just a dodgy bolt, rather than something special
You need an extra oilway blank (where the turbo oil feed came from) and the cylinder head also requires a blank for the removed Saab coolant temp sensor, you can use the z22se water pump drain plug
The turbo oil return requires a blanking plug, either a core plug or make one in a lathe from alloy.
The 10 large head bolts are scrap, but the head gasket should be okay
i found some pics but they're way opened upI am currently opening up the exhaust ports on two heads, I will take some pictures as you need to remove quite a bit more material
ive tried to keep it to the oval shapeapart from the gasket shape (keep yours to the z22se exhaust gasket shape) those pictures are very good to use as a guide, but without making a new exhaust manifold flange it's pointless making the ends more square.
