Oooo....purdy





And there they are!
The blcok is now at the machine shop being bored and hone...and with luck the car will be running again by the end of this upcoming weekend!

 

maybe a stupid question - but what kinda pistons are those - sure look pretty

 

Endyn NA (Low) pistons

11.5:1 compression for my application

 

why didn't you go with higher compression?

 

Did you decide to deshroud the head to the 84mm bore?

 

I decided to go with 11.5:1 to be on the safe side sorta...I didnt want to ahve to worry about detonation and whatnot. Also..the highest octane gas we have here in the winter is 91 octane...if we had 93 or 94 I probably would have gone higher.

Yes Im deshrouding the head to match the cylinder bore.

 

that thing is going to rip...

 

very nice...............

 

how much did it cost to deshroud the head to the 84mm bore?

sorry

Heh...I dont know yet

Im waiting on the block to be finished first, then I will assebmle the short block and measure the deck clearance. After this is done, I can take the head in and have the head deshrouded and cc'ed so I know exactly what my compression will be...and then I can have the head milled a little if necessary to achieve the compression I want

Lots of planning huh

The shop did tell me it will cost $80-$100 to deshroud and mill/clean-up the head surface.

 

also how much did those endyn's cost with rings and tax shipping etc....

 

$530 shipped with rings and everything

 

hx_guy, the price for endyn rw is 530? the site says it costs more tho

 

I got them through Mike K for that price.

 

cool, does endyn make custom b20 pistons? o yea, and how long did Mike K take to ship cause i order some parts from him too but he's all the way in florida.

 

He got the pistons to me real quick...he shipped them out the following day after I ordered them..and it took 5 days for UPS to deliver them to me.
Mike K is real good at getting things out in time...I just ordered some more stuff this morning and he already shipped them out and emailed a tracking number

 

Does Larry sand the edges down? Looks really smooth. I just got my JE 84.5, 11:5:1, make sure to keep us posted on how the Endyn's work out

 

oh, i should email him for the tracking # too. Endyns are nice and all but I already ordered a set of (9.2:1 and 9.6:1 w/vtec) arias race pistons, o well.

 

hey, so you guys like mike k's servace? what shop does he work at and is there a phone # i can get? im going to be ordering some parts soon. thanks

 

Yea mike is great all my honda parts are gonna be from him. My local honda part dealer doesnt even know what a b20 is

Hey Val, where in town are you having your block work done, Im trying to find a good local shop.

 

Im working with Gene's Engine shop off of 23rd Ave and Deer Valley.
Ive heard god things about their work and so far from dealing with them they seem real good and intrested in my project not liek some other shops Ive talked to that just seem to be in a hurry and have a "lets get it doen already" attitude.

 

The machine shop has the pistons to check clearances, correct?
