[evocarlos]

balancer del
shafts cut


end ground down and idlers made


installed in the block


and the other side of the block has now been painted


the z22se crank was dropped of at andrews precision for knife edging and balancing friday

more soon

 

[Dolby]

Great work.

 

[evocarlos]

done some more on this engine yesterday
fitted a z22se carnk sensor and oil pressure switch then tapped the holes that will be used for the supercharger bracket and knock sensor


stripped the head of all valves


collecting the parts


plenty of gasket left on there lol


after a quick clean it shows that this is a head that will need a skim


only because the cylinder seal of the head gasket has left a mark lower than the surface and cant be removed manually


next step porting

you should offer a exchange/fitting service,

polished n ported n fitted and exchange heads lol

nope this is the saab head for jons build keep your eyes off it lol

i do have 2 z22se heads but need to strip them and check them out before porting work and i will do an exchange/fitting when i have time

 

[Dave Gilbert]

i think its a good idea, n a balance shaft delete service at the same time

it makes sence wile your there.

 

[evocarlos]

that is to much work lol dropping the engine and subframe each time lol

was bored today after yet again not getting the brake lines in the post so i made and engine dolly to get the engines in and out of the bat cave easier

 

[Dave Gilbert]

oh dint think of that, dolly looks good

im thinking of building a spit roast for the mini but might just buy 1 yet. so i can turn it upside down.

how long do u think this engine will take?

no mines not finished lol but should be by that time

i ordered mine from newsstand website not got them yet tho

 

[evocarlos]

had a quote for getting the head skimmed lol £25+vat thats alot less than i thought

 

[Dave Gilbert]

thats about right int it

i think a skim n pressure test is about £ 40+ vat int it?

last time i asked about getting a head skimmed its was £70 it was the renault 19 about 12 years ago lol

 

[Dave Gilbert]

oh thought about £50 around our end is about average

are you going with a thicker head gasket or wont u need to?

 

[evocarlos]

it will just be a standard saab gasket or cometic mls gasket the piston will be 8.9:1 so no need to go with a thicker gasket
when i called i told him the head was stripped and i just wanted a skim he said there not busy atm and £25 would do it lol

 

[Dave Gilbert]

good s**t.

when we used to rebuild the EVO challenge rally cars we allways used standard mitsubishi head gaskets and pistons etc

and they were running silly power and and high octain fuel.

yes but with an evo all you had to do was fit stronger arp conrod bolts to go upto 400hp the bolts were £80 the fitting at ralliart dudley was £2800 lol
i made enquiries before i bought my evo they made the 260hp import the same as the 280 and 300hp by just changing the bolts and upping the boost lol

 

[evocarlos]

heads dropped off for acid dip and a skim should be back tomorrow

 

[evocarlos]

its back


my head hurts even thinking about porting it lol
