My engine smokes like crazy and I'm at a crossroad.

Do I keep the stock block and bore it out to 84-85mm??

Or build a B20 and bore it to 84.5mm-86mm??

I'm looking for torque and reliability to 8200RPMs.


What would you do???

TIA,

 

You will have to sleeve the ITR block to go that large. If it was me, I would sell the ITR block, and buy a B20 and start from there. Usually what you can sell an ITR shortblock for, you can buy a B20 longblock...

Go the B20 route. It'll be cheaper.

Sell your block, and buy a B20.

The money you would have used on sleeving the ITR block, you can buy your pistons/rods/bearings for the B20 block.

 

And I can get this stuff from you right Mike?

IM me what you think I need and what'll cost if you have the time. Tax returns should be here soon and I'm ready to get this going.......

It's great to see a post where people are in agreement on what somebody should do. It's difficult to decide what to do when you hear 10 replies, 5 of which are useless, and the remaining ones offer different solutions to your problem..

Maybe I'll start hanging out here more often.. if you guys don't mind.

 

Trey,
I sent you a PM.

.....or rehone your existing block to 81.25 w/ ctr or rollerwave pistons.

 

If it were me, i would just overhaul the motor, maybe go to 82mm, and
just spend the money on headwork.

 

Shut up Ken.
