My 2g 6 Bolt Build

[Spoolin98]

Nice build. The cams look used. Did you get a ported head from JAM?

The cams are used, they are stock. The head is slightly ported by JAM.

Here are some photos of the block and head before they were assembled. I will post pictures of the assembly as soon as I have some more time. Enjoy

OK so I need some help. I have a brand new 6 bolt thermostat housing, I just took the 2g sensors out of my old thermostat housing last night. There is only 2 sensors on the 7 bolt housing so I swapped them into the 6 bolt housing. Now there is 3 more open spots on the 6 bolt housing below the thermostat and 1 opening above the thermostat. I'm wondering what is the best spot to put my aftermarket temp sender? I have seen other people install it below the thermostat and others above. I have a choice of either so I was wondering which would be the better spot? I can take pictures if needed.

Thanks, I'm using the Cometic HP head gasket and no I did not spray anything on it. From the research I did, If your block and head were both machined then there is no need for spray. I guess I'll find out.

Simply gorgeous.
That has to be the cleanest engine I've seen in a very long time.

I went and worked on my motor today, I got alot done in the short amount of time I was there.

Can someone answer this for me, is this where the knock sensor goes on the back of the 6 bolt block?

 

[93talontsifwd]

Woops you where right its been a long time since I have seen the other side of the motor on my dsm and I was thinking honda which all together the wrong company.

 

[Spoolin98]

That would be the wrong hole. See the hole that is right at the top of the block that is where you screw in the knock sensor.

Do you have a link to something that says thats where it goes? It just doesn't make sense to me. On my 7 bolt block it was right below the #2 cylinder so thats where I would assume it would be on the 6 bolt block? Thanks for the response.

 

[Spoolin98]

93talontsifwd, I did some searching and according to these threads I have the knock sensor in the right spot.

Thanks for the compliment. I bought the spark cover like 3 years ago so I don't remember where I got it from or how much I payed. But I can tell you one thing, I remember it was too much!
