Hell yeah!

That is a great write up.

It's interesting to see how Vince himself builds up a motor.... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (2.0L Turbo)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (2.0L Turbo)
 

Is that z10 girdle doweled?

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (bruthaboost)
 

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.

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (bruthaboost)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (2.0L Turbo)

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (Arturbo)
 

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!!

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (InfamousRS)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (SOUNDEFFECTS)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (bruthaboost)
 

What are the dowels?

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (2.0L Turbo)
 

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.

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (2.0L Turbo)
 

i have one of those things https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif lathes are a great thing.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (vtecdoc)
 

damn

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (InfamousRS)
 

i can make them if there is a demand for them https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (ek9t)
 

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. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (ekb18c)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (J. Davis)
 

good artticle.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (Giovannie)
 

bump for a good article!!

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (Giovannie)
 

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

Re: GEM Engine Rebuilding (InfamousRS)
 

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.
