I hope that you resleeved that block for the forged pistons...

And if your cam was off 180* (is that possible?)...how the heck did it drive?!

 

the tensioner broke and the timing belt came lose...........why would i need to resleve the block...the pistons are stock size...besides arnt H22's solid decked

 

how many miles on your car......just get it replaced under warranty

 

You have a 98 Lude? Those H22a4's are open deck. Only the H22a1 (93-95) were closed deck.

And if you want to know more about running forged pistons in ANY H series, please do a search, as we've discussed this MANY MANY times... I'll just say this, FRM + forged pistons = BLEH!

And if you're gonna run forged pistons in an H22 you might as well tension your timing belt with scotch tape.

 

Or better yet, use a big rubberband as a timing belt.

J/P, we're just giving you a hard time. But running forged pistons in a stock sleeve H series motor is just asking for trouble. Anyone have that pic where the cylinder walls were all scuffed up by someone who ran forged pistons in their stock sleeved H22?

 

so how long will it last not being sleevd

 

...down the block.

I gotta find that picture...

 

so it not being sleevd it wont be driveable at all ?

 

How long could i drive it before it got really bad.......

 

so you would spend thousands of dollars on parts and labor to rebuild your engine, only tear up your cylinder sleeves and your pistons??? do it right the first time, or dont do it at all...

 

Maybe a month until the scoring got so bad you would have to add oil daily...

 

SO.....that sucks...(at the risk of sounding totally ignorant) didnt now i needed sleeves.If they havent put my motor back together yet i should be good.
Anybody know where i can get a good deal on sleeves
