so we found this y7 block and z6 head in the garage at my cousin's house he said i could have it but it was sitting outside for about a month (only the block got rained on, the head was in doors the whole time)... so should i sell it as is or clean it up put it together and sell as a whole motor?

heres pics:


block:


cylinder wall:

 

suggestions?

 

Clean it up and make sure everything looks okay.

But stick that beast in there and boost it.

 

i already have a full d16z6 in the ej1 i'm gonna sell this block and head its just extra in my garage now but its the whole assembly out of the car in pieces on a shelf in my garage now... except the trans

 

Clean it put it together n sell it

 

should i hone it?

 

i would just keep it....

you never know when yours might take a **** on you....lol

 

Mini-Me swap...she loves boost!

Clean it, Keep it, Boost it.

Enjoy.

 

good idea... but i''m gonna be boostin the z6 so i might keep it until the z6 takes a **** on me unless i just need the cash and have someone on hand

 

yes you should hone it, if its been outside you defneed to hone it, i found a d16y7 like that at my highschool 2nd motor i ever built, those pistons look bad............man myabe its just the pic quailty but damn looks melted

 

ya its the pic there is oil on top of the piston stupid *** cousin dropped some old *** oil from his truck change i just did on it right b4 i took the pic.... i wiped some of it off for the pic as you can see...

 

can ya get me a better pic? becuase it looks as tho that piston is pitted to expletive

 

well what if you cleaned both of them up sold the head (if you really wanted money) because you say you already have a z6 head on your block then you shouldnt need 2 unless your going to modify that one and swap it on.

clean the block and keep it for when your block decides to take a **** SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!! maybe even build it if you have the time and money.

 

i'll try... i have to take them from my phone casue my digital cam is broke


so a y7 block and z6 head will take boost better than a z6 n z6?

 

b7 is hit . rods are way to thin for boost. dont boost it if anyhitng throw in a nice can, ZC pistons and your set. nice little motor.

read the post... its a y7 not b7. you can still boost a b7.

if it was me id do a built mini me and turbo it. run your current z6 till its done then just swap n you have hardly any down time.

 

oh my bad well b7 has weak rods and y7 is simimilar no n vtec so im guessing weak rods

 

i cant get a clear enough pic but the pistons arent pitted at all just a ton of carbon on them... it was like that when we pulled the motor... it was nasty

 

also i plan to go b18 or b20 when my d ***** on me so i'll probably clean it up do a light build up and then sell it

 

started the teardown today... gonna be usin some serious degreaser haha theres a ton of carbon on the valves and top of the pistons... how can this much carbon be on them? what could have caused it?

where do you get your info from? i want to shoot the guy who gives it to you because the all d-series have pretty much the same strength in their rods, there is the exception for the zc having little bit wider rods, it can handle a little bit more, but still.
As far as a car not having vtec@@!!@#, that doesnt mean anything lol. one of the most powerful d-series isnt vtec(d16zc dohc). b18b's, b20's those are fine motors.

 

i would keep it and build it up slowly. just a little at a time. year later pop that bad boy in your EJ and go...

 

well the reason we pulled the y7 z6 combo from the car is cause it made crappy crappy crappy power and we couldn't figure out why... we put this z6 in and it runs like a spotted *** ape...

the z6 in there now pulls really hard and i like it... i cant wait to build the z6 and turbo it thats gonna be sweet

but what could some reasons for crappy power and all the carbon on the valves and pistons? there was alot... way more than usual
