Hell yeah!

That is a great write up.

It's interesting to see how Vince himself builds up a motor....

 

Thanks for posting that link. Vince linked me to the other one last week so I am going to read this one right now.

 

Is that z10 girdle doweled?

 

doesnt look like the z10 was dowled. I am pretty sure vince did it but not 100% positive. Looks great by the way ....

Doweling the z10 was mandatory i have done a few and it just better overall. ask geoff about doweling things.

 

Somehow, I thought Vince would be an older, gray haired guy? I dunno?.... hehe

 

Looks good Armaan! Didnt know you were on Honda-tech...

art

 

yea me too

 

Vince looks like he`s about 17 in person

 

No dowels from what I can tell.

 

Does anyone know if Vince with make and sell one of these opon request?

 

Thanks Art! Yeah, I don't post that much on H-Tech. I mainly read the tech stuff. Oh yeah, for all the members wondering if the Z10 Girdle is dowelled (sp?), I really don't know. It's an off-the-shelf version...Vince might now. I'll ask him tomorrow. Can't wait to get a turbo for it!!

 

Nah, I tried! Besides Wait in line buddy! I've been waiting for it for some time now. =P

 

Not trying to bash anyone's work, but why use the girdle without the dowels? Kinda hinders the purpose of the girdle.

 

What are the dowels?

 

dowels are like the ones that line up the head with the bottom end, same concept, they keep the 2 parts aligned and from sliding, whle the bolts hold em down.

 

i have one of those things lathes are a great thing..

 

damn

 

i can make them if there is a demand for them

 

It's something nice to have, but not really needed. I'm using pistons to do the job of that thing. I don't know if there will be demand for it.

 

Yeah, it's just another tool to lose, and you already have the new pistons laying there.

 

good artticle..

 

bump for a good article!!

 

No mention of balancing? Do they offer it? Or even recommend it?

 

Are you kidding me??? That has got to be the biggest waste of money if you were to buy one. Dude, turn your piston upside down and use it to push the rings down in the bore. This is a basic write up..I wouldnt suggest anyone use this write-up to build the bottom end of their motor.
