Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Oh , I forgot here is the valve cover I got off the L20B at the pick and pull too. That is after I cleaned it, with the pressure washer! Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 So this is what happens when your timing chain snaps! Holy shit! Had the engine flushed and nothing inside it.Oh did I say, a timing chain with 2 extra links. It is the one needed for the L head to fit on the Z block 22 block. Just wanted to look at it a little and see where thing bolted up to and Quote Link to comment

jvb5577 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just so you know, you will need to drill new water passages in that block before you put the head on! Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I look around and could not find any info on this setup.I am not building a race engine. I have one now!I don't like it in my daily driver!My goal is more bottom end torque for climbing up and down hills in the morning when I am driving the kids to school.On flat ground the Long rod L18 works awesome and on the freeway.I can sprint from 75 mph to 95 in no time.Means?I pass lots of people when driving.

Sealik Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I look around and could not find any info on this setup. There is lots of info around here on that set-up..... If you don't drill those holes into the deck you will have premature wear on the pistons and cylinder walls Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 If you show me a all stock bottom end and L20 / U67 head, they can delete this thread!All of them have this or thank cran and this or that rods and pistons.I am not building a track or high rev engine.Yes, Sealik: I have seen all of your post.My block must have come as a Z22S because I the same holes to drill.Your block! Mine tihe the Nismo gasket on it, no holes drilled yet! Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 You look really young to be building an engine... :P Good on you for getting some work out of the youngins. Can't wait to get my son out there under his roadster. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is why I have the place holders! ? Also......you plan on re-locating the dip stick? Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 You look really young to be building an engine... :P Good on you for getting some work out of the youngins. Can't wait to get my son out there under his roadster. I let him do the intake and exhaust on the L18. He did such a good job, I let him clean that one up too. I have worked on a sub, lived in a tunnel, spent the night in a tower more than 100 feet up, gone a hundred feet deep free diving and can drive or fly just about anything in the sky. Son is not even impressed! So when , he asked about what I was doing. I took off the safety gear and showed him and then let him do it. I failed him as a parent for a couple mins. Oh well.

Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Now, I already started porting the head on the U67.Doing intake first is easier.To me.But that is as far as I have gotten.Because, I need to focus on getting the L18 black in my car.I got side tracked! Once I am done with this then it is finish building.I was going to paint my car , but looks like I am building a newer engine to replace the L18.Also I need to get some GSXR carbs!But this project has to be completed this weekend before wife gives me money for the next one!

Doctoraudio Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 To early to be drinking unless it's just late for you. Was I collecting my pictures and thoughts! I am interested in what you think Do you awesome I can get a real nice daily driver out of this setup? Will I be torn to looking for something bigger? That L18 runs great and is very powerful, but I barely get to 40 mph most of the time. . Quote Link to comment
