spudly13 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not much to report lately, just been driving as a daily, im gunna have to pull it in soon and do a bunch of up keep here soon. I noticed today that in the last 13 months ive put 22,000 miles on it, plus a month out of those 13 with no speedo. I started re-engineering my turbo setup for better effiency since it was brought to my attention that it is far from it (i was gunna wait til this winter when i build a motor but oh well) One big problem though... On downshift and decel, with my window open, i smell oil... its not visible but i definately smell it, is this rings of valves? Also curious if my carbs being way out of sync could cause excess vaccum pulling oil past the rings? long shot but who knows, havent done a comp test yet, I think ill post this question in the r1 thread as well.

Laecaon Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I want to say, acceleration, and at that point decel too, valve seals. Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 So ive been doing a little research lately, to those that still look at this thread what do you think about this l20b block bored 2mm over to fit dished sr20det pistons with z22e rods giving roughly 3mm deck clearence (if i calculated it all right) Have the crank and rods machined for new bearings, and have the rotating assembly lightened and balanced. That just about wraps up the bottom end. I was thinking an open chamber u67 head, but as far as valves and cam etc im still reseaching that stuff. I had heard or read about at one point that someone makes metal headgaskets for the l series, i cant seem to find them, can anyone else confirm this? a link meybe? And of course if i got around to actually doing and affording all this work i would build a much nicer header and intake system, plumb an intercooler in find a different set of carbs, revamp the fueling system and hope to run 12lbs. Any input appreciated Quote Link to comment
