Hey all, im building my first d16 motor. Either a z6 or y8 (not sure yet). i just wanted to know what to look out for or any easier methods about putting this motor together. This motor will be built for boost. I will be using 75mm (stock bore) ycp vitara pistons and the custom fjt ibeam rods. I'm new to the building a motor world. I hard from people that i would have to deck the block? whatever that means (please explain). thats all the questions i have for now.

 

have somebody that's done it before and has real experience hold your hand through it. Its not something that you can just read about and do.

 

whats the hard part about doing it?

get 75.5mm vitara pistons and get the block bored and honed

no need for custom rods just get some eagle rods

and no you dont have to deck the block

i have no problems with my 75mm vitara pistons and eagle rods in my y8 motor
it just have a little piston slap b/c of the 75mm vitara pistons
