Sup everyone, been a long time since ive been on here. Been real busy with work and other things. Unfortunately i will be visiting here ALOT more now because this past thursday i Hydrolocked my 98 SH. It wa raining like crazy and when i left work i hit about a foot of water. it was raining so hard i couldnt even see infront of me.

Anyways, after removing water from 2 cylinders and drying everything and installing new spark plugs i tried firing it up with no luck. I did a compression test and 2 cylinders read 25 and the other 2 were at 0. Nice.

I took off the valve cover and i could not tell if there is anydamage to the cams of valves, so my mind tells me either all the piston rings are gone, i warped the head, blew the head gasket or bent some rods. I will be removing the oil pan tommorow to check on that.

So depending on how much damage i have done and how much it will be to repair, i might just get a new engine instead of rebuilding this one. Im looking for a SH motor so i can swap it fast but if a Base motor/tranny or JDM Type-S motor tranny will bolt up to an SH frame and suspension i will swap in a base or Type-S.

Does anyone know if a Type S or Base motor will drop into an SH with out having to change out any suspension parts? I know i will have to get new driveshafts but is there any additional parts i will need to drop a Type-S or base in the SH Lude?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Chris

 

type s and sh have the same tranny so it would be a good swap

 

base motors are totally different from sh....it's the atts setup that differs it....the type s motor you would have to ask a mechanic....but it would make reasonable power..
