<U>Im looking for the following parts for this build PM me if you have them:</U>

Nothing at the moment

Well its about time i get to throw one of these posts up here.
I have recently got my hands on a ERL built H22 block with Darton Sleeves built for boost from my buddy.
One or more valves dropped and destroyed Piston #3 (see pix) He let me have the whole block for doing some wiring on his car so I jumped on it like a fat kid on cake.

I took it to work with me today and started tearing it apart.

I believe the Root of the Evil was the Auto-Tensioner. Causing Belt slippage and lovely piston to valve contact on Cyl #3.

Ill have everything out of the block by tonight and then all I need is a set of ARP Main bolts and it can go to the machine shop for:

-Overbore from 87-89 (hopefully that will take the damaged sleeves back to perfect condition)
-Line Bore the mains
-make sure block deck is true
-Hot tank

Setup will be as follows:

-Darton Sleeved H22a block
-Wiseco 6.5cc 89mm pistons
-Probe I-Beam Rods (deciding on getting them from Import Builders $325 or straight from Probe $275, does Jeff do anything special to them?) Im only assuming jeffs rods are the same as IB dont quote me on this.
-Brand new OEM H23 Crank
-Stock H22a4 head for now with Type S cams
-ERL BS removal kit (2 plugs in oil pump and turned bearings) as well as Rosko Cover plate

Below is always the most up to date status:

So the block is at the machine shop now, I went to the machine shop on Friday but i guess they decided to stay closed all weekend. So ill find out Monday whats going on.

In the meantime I took some preliminary measurements of my Crank. Its brand new. So specs should be very even. I took 2 measurements 90 deg. from each other.

Main Journals:

1. 1.9688”
2. 1.9688”
3. 1.9687”
4. 1.9687”
5. 1.9687”

Rod Journals:

1. 1.8899”
2. 1.8898”
3. 1.8898”
4. 1.8899”

Of course im going to recheck clearances when i get my block back and do it at the same time so i don't get different measurements due to heat expansion or contraction.

 

yesssssssssssssssssssssss... my car lives on in the body of another. Thanks for aiding in my goal of immortality

LOL at my tinfoil piston...

 

You better [freak]ing boost it Mario or i'm punching you in the face.

 

HAHA there he is, McLude2nR is the block donor.

It will run again!!!

And no way am i gonna boost it my friend. You should know me better then that.

 

lol can of worms has been opened.

On a B series maybe, on a H22, we need sleeves to go big.

 

Worst comment

Ht at its best

Conform or be flamed. Imposing one's own will till the end !

Throw some compression at her, some nice cams and drive the **** out of it . .

 

^ This man understands

Boost is fun and all. But I respect a NA 4 cylinder a lot more than a boosted one.

 

oh damn.....i don't think u guys know what this is gonna turn out to be....

Now the hatch will NEVER get traction. I thought McLudes car was nasty.... I remember seeing his car burn out thru 3 gears vs an SRT4.

Any word on how the valve dropped? Keeper come out or did the valve head break?

 

i think the tensioner failed, belt skipped, number 3 hit a valve broke it off, and thats that

 

nice piston! lol. same thing happened to my motor about 2 weeks ago! 2 holes in piston #4 and I found the valves in my oil pan lol

 

HELL YEAH MARIO!! Good luck buddy

 

those pistons took some damage lol

new block and pieces look good

 

Thx for all the support guys. It will get rolling in no time.

 

It'll buff right out.......just use some Gorilla Glue to fill the hole! lol

Great potential setup....I will be checking on this thread!
Now you need some Cams!

 

funny that us three all run the same crank, rod and piston setup

 

no shawn has 88s 89 ftw!!!

 

those pistons look rediculous!

 

its just a little dome

 

Its only gonna stick out the block a little to make more compression, no big deal

 

H23 crank/rods and Wisecos?
What is the H22 Compression of the Wisecos? Are THEY really the best to go with?

 

IIRC, 11.5:1

Really, any brand name piston will get the job done.

 

So who is doing the 90mm slugs these days?

 

I believe Natalie is running 90's. Wiseco to me has always seemed to be the way to go. They are no stranger to high revving motors, i.e. dirt bikes/quads/motorcylces.

 

Currently waiting on ARP Main Studs, Machine shop quoted me $109 (IF Anyone has a set and can beat that price shipped to my door then PM me asap)

 

I cringed like 6 or 7 times looking at those pictures. That piston # 3 is FUKKKed worse than that I have ever seen in person or in pictures. Theres like nothing left in the bottom lol. Cool build though, and good job going NA, to that!!

good luck
