you should see how big they are on my engine atm
you cant go this big with a z22se head
How come your restricted on the z22se is it a diff size gasket used or a ally thickness issue?

Fitted all the Pistons and when I found my grease that came with rods I fitted end caps and torqued them up, had to use my big torque wrench tho as my small one was in nm and only goes up to 25 lol I would have needed 58.3 nm that's equivalent 43 ft lb but my big one does both readings so used that
Had a stupid moment whilst fitting, I had the block bore side down on my rubber Matt and struggling to turn the crank, after a while I realised that the rubber mat was creating a seal against end of bores so when I turned crank it created a vacume lol

I have a standard z22se head that I was going to port but now I'm thinking is there a point and should I just get Saab head.
Is there really a big difference between the 2 once ported?, I no you can open the Saab up more but is it really noticeable on the power gains?
Other than the obvious difference like the spark plugs and exhaust valves
Is there big benifits having the Saab on a supercharged application?

the inlet manifold is match to the supercharger manifold on the saab head
its overall stronger than the z22se head ""out the box""
exhaust cam is full lenth not cut like the z22se
there's more tolerance on the saab head being sand cast thicker in places than the z22se
better plugs imo no risk to crack the head
and no egr system to worry about
you would have to sort something out with the rocker cover do as i have done and mod a coil pack

Seems like Saab is the best option then, time to start searching for one and try sell the other.
