I picked this engine up earlier and it is getting a full rebuild with Wiseco 8.9:1 pistons, Eagle rods, new genuine chains and water pump, bearings, gaskets, etc

I whipped the cylinder head off to check all was still good. I have heard the engine running so knew it was okay, but always worth another check :)

It was removed from a vx220 and was replaced with a forged z22se engine.

Engine is now fully stripped, head has been ported and waiting to go to the machine shop.

Plus I am waiting for parts from the usa, so not much to do.

genuine Saab B207 head gasket, I prefer using them on SC engine builds as it lowers the CR a little bit more

Brand new Saab B207 genuine cam chain kit fitted - these have the adjustable cam sprockets otherwise are identical to the z22se chain kit.

I ran out of time to do any more yesterday, not much more to do and it will be finished :)
