Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (RR98DX)
HOLY SHIZBOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Never seen a liner like #4!!!!
A 1.5L will be going back in, likely my old D15B7 for now while I build or buy a D15B VTEC.
If I build it, watch out!
12.5:1 compression on stock pistons without milling the head or block.

Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (Hatch_92)
Just don't order a JDM 1.5 vtec from K.watanabe...
Me: "That's the 130ps engine not the vtec-e motor i'm getting right?"
Them: "Oh yeah direct replacement for the usdm 92-95 si and ex motors."
Me a week later: "Why the hell do I have a vtec-e engine in my garage now?"
Them: "It's what we sell for a replacement for the ex and si motors"
Anyway good luck with your buildup! There was a 1.5 vtec on ebay a while back.

I always hear of #3 cylinder running the hottest, so maybe thats why it is the most common one to fail first.
Mr. Bone, that photo is a N20 injected D series correct?

Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (Mista Bone)
I really cant explain it too technically, but I´ve read that #3 cilinder in 4 cilinder cars go out first because it is continually heated up by its own combustion and combustion from cylinders 2 and 4.........I will try to find a diagram I had seen for this........

Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (BlackDeuceCoupe)
Hrm... just out of curiosity... I know you're juiced but what kind of plugs were you running??? I've heard that Bosch Platinum+4 plugs will do that to pistons too.

What does the Bosch Platinums +4 have anything to do with this? I'm running Bosch +4's, don't scare me.

Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (nfiedler3)
my friends (rexb16) stock b16 with gsr cams. went from redline in 2nd back to 1st...
it completely shattered the piston. we found it in a million pieces collected in the cat and downpipe. the water is there because when the sleave exploded all the coolent was pumped through the engine before the piston dissapeared.

Re: Death of my D16Z6......... (delsolguy)
Totally OT but how do you shift from 2nd back to 1st at 8000 rpm? 
I mean, I've misshifted and ground 3rd, but never came close to shifting into 1st

As I shed a tear seeing those pics, I'll pray for those motors to have a better time in their after life. 
Sorry to hear about those motors guys.
