LZ22 using a Z22E?

[DAT510]

I am beginning to build a LZ22 (Trying to at least) and ran into a bit of a problem...

 

Mine Z22E

 

Others (Z22S?)

 

 

 

 

Z22E with L20B gasket

 

 I think at this point I may have it figured out at this point I just want to run with you guys first make sure im not fuckin up.

 

Plan of attack:

Z22E gasket

Drill 8 holes (9 including the oblong one in the back of the block), or can I get away with just drilling 2 next to cylinder 3#?

corresponding holes in the gasket

 

I thought this was a straight forward build, I kind of got blindsided by the block lol.

Z22E  = D81.

 

Has water passages inbetween the cylinders.  Less room to bore.

You have the same block as me.

 

Drill passages that I highlighted.

 

 

 

Z22E  = D81.

This!  You can't bore this block out without making it really weak.

I also pmed you  :D

I would not use that block...your headbolts will be submerged in water using the fel-pro headgasket!

 

That's just asking for broken headbolts and water leaks later when you have to re-torque your headbolts.

I don't see this. The cylinders are all spaced the same distance apart. Those that touch or are joined have a webbing between them. The cylinders are not made thicker so they touch. The wall thickness has to be the same except where they join. Joined cylinders might be stiffer or more structurally sound.

 

My Z22 block has 1&2 and 3&4 joined together but there is a passage between 2&3 for water to flow through.

 

That L20B head gasket is an abortion, don't use it.

That L20B head gasket is an abortion, don't use it.

 

He is using the Z22 head gasket.  Just using the L20 as a guide to know what holes to drill.
