ok so if i was lets say upgrade my DD and i couldnt stop driving it because i need it for work so im thinkin of gettin a ls/vtec but then a good deal on a gsr or si block comes up b4 i get the vtec head can i put the block in n slap the ls head on and drive to work? for a couple of weeks?
note i cant store the block either because i live in a 3rd floor apartment
is it possible? y wouldnt it be?

 

I belive the GSR block utilizes a different method of spreading the engine oil and there are more than that i think. Cuz if want to do it the other way you have to plug oil passages and run oil lines for vtec. However im not sure hopefully someone olse knows more. I have a Ls motor

 

its possible but why would you want to do that? it'd be a pain in the *** and you risk ruining the block.

 

ok did u read my post i dont have another car i can use n i dont have space to save the gsr block so im askin if its possible to easily do this so i can run this for a couple of weeks until i get the head then i will complete the swap. its like doing a swap but in like 2 parts lol

for me, it's VERY easy to do....for you i don't know, but from what it sounds like i don't think you can pull it off..honestly. you'll be spending a lot more by doing this as well...you have to think about the gaskets you'll have to buy...the tools needed for the conversion...the different head bolts you'll need...the fluid you'll have to buy/drain and buy again. and not only that...as i've stated before, you risk ruining the block or head because you'll have to drill/align the block and head.

 

man, if this is important to you... move furniture and climb over couches for a few weeks and just have the motor in your living room or kitchen or something.. sleep on the couch and put the block on your bed, but dont do something stupid and expensive like that, and yeah i know its a 3rd floor appt, i read that part

 

hmm i guess i have no other choice then if i take the oil pan off can i rest the block completely on the ground they told me the top part and intake ports have masking tape on to keep dirt out i hope it clean and not greasy

 

Have everything freshly put in the all at once. You'll be more happier..
