6-bolt & 7-bolt short blocks

[BogusSVO]

Yep start a build thread!

Looks good so far.

500* on the block will be fine, same I use in the shop on my build ups. If the block gets hot enough to burn off the paint... you have way wose issues to deal with other than flaking paint!

Thank you sir! I will start a build thread when I get a little free time to write down the backround story! I will also keep this thread alive if any more confusing questions come my way. I'd hate to have a build thread of nothing but trouble shooting!

Alright guys I've found a great thread that identifies most of the connectors in the engine bay! I really want to clean up things a little but am having trouble finding things to delete! So far I decided that I will not be putting the AC back into the car. I just like the convince of having power steering! So I will be keeping the PS. I know emissions stuff is not needed, but will that even make that much of a difference? I am also going to try and tuck some wires and stuff. Anyone have any insight on what wires to tuck and the possible places to tuck them? Heres a pic of my bay! I know guys it looks messy

Been real busy with work and school but I did get my head back from the machine shop!! They did a very nice job! Completely stripped the hideous orange/red paint, reamed all the head stud holes to .500 (12.7mm), complete disassembly, cleaning (hot tank), complete reassembly, replaced every valve stem seals, cam seals, Basically all necessary seals for the head, and last oil port mod #1 & #2. I'm very pleased with their work! Basically all thats left is deciding what to eliminate in the engine bay, kiggly crank trigger sensor, clutch, and turbo rebuild. Then the engine will be ready to drop back in! Heres some pics of the head!

Hey guys I was looking at my head last night and I noticed that the timing marks on the cam gears were way off!! Should just turn the cam gears until the timing marks are lined up once I drop the head on the block? Or should I take off the cam gears align the timing marks then tighten down the cam gears?

Just turn them until they line up. I don't understand what you are getting about taking the gear off and turning it and bolting it back on. It's about getting the cams lined up, not the gear itself.

Thanks! I just didnt understand if the shop aligned the cams then just put the gears in whichever way not looking at the timing marks or if the gears just spun out of place! I just wanted to be sure before I out it all together!

There is a dowel on the cam and a hole in the gear so there is only one way to install the gear.

Perfect! Then all I will have to do is spin the cam gear and align the timing marks! Great thanks for the help!!

Unfortunatly yes! My funds didnt allow for a head resurface! And The gasket kit that I got came with a composite HG! So thats what I will be using!

Im really stuck with my oil feed line for the turbo! I know that it connects to the oil filter housing but now I am using a 6 bolt oil filter housing! So basically where would I put it in on the 6 bolt oil filter housing?? Will I have to get the connector? Also if you guys can help me identify what goes where on the oil filter housing! Thanks for all the help guys!

1 & 2 are for the external oil cooler. Pull the plug between 2 & 4 and get an adapter for your line.

 

[bryanwheat]

That feed line looks like it is starting to fray on the end where it connects to the fitting. I would replace it with a -4 line with a 3/8 pipe thread fitting that screws into the housing. You can also feed from the head. What turbo are you running?

I don't believe I have an external oil cooler??? Do 2g's have an external oil cooler???

I was just gonna look for an attacment that would go onto the oil filter housing! I am going to be running a Greddy 18G

 

[miguelmcv]

The 6 bolt oil housing is an external cooler, you need an external cooler to make it work, the 2g didn't came with an external cooler.

Do what bryanwheat said, change your feed line, it looks crappy, I wouldn't trust that line for that kind of turbo.
I live in San Jose, and can send you a 4 an feed line and 6 bolt internal oil filter housing (it will bolt on) for very cheap., I can get them there (Fresno) on Sunday.
PM me if you are interested, I have them laying around here in my garage.

IF you are running an 18g than you can just feed from the head with a stock 1g oil feed line. They are like 18 bucks and an other 20 bucks for the banjo bolts and crush washers. Also i would keep the 90 oil filter housing setup. It it better than the water cooled setup.

Will it be an issue that I'm using a 2g head?? Would I need to tap the VC?? The main reason I don't wanna keep the 90 oil filter housing is because I would have to purchase an external oil cooler right?? My budget is cutting it real tight!! At this point I just need something that is cheap and will work for a bit until I can afford better!

 

[bryanwheat]

The 2g head already has the oil port, all you have to do is remove the bolt plugging the hole.

 

[miguelmcv]

2g head and 1g head has the same feed port, which you can ran on ether of them.
If you decide to use the 90 housing, you will need the external cooler, But you need to block the water lines from the thermostat housing and from the water pipe as well which they will not be used any more.

I shall take a look at it!!! Thanks a lot sir!!!
