I just picked up a b16b shortblock and I assume it's been stroked to a 1.8L. The ctr pistons are almost (1mm lower) level with the top of the cylinder. the rods end caps read p72 so it's been stroked to a 1.8L? just planning to take the internals out... block is legit...the previous owner tried (and i used the word "tried" loosely) to go turbo and he notched the block with a die grinder and vice grips... he just didnt break off the first webbing but the second lower web also...maybe fixable....needs welding though... Any thoughts on this?



thx in advance

 

looks like crap, but is there any leaks?

 

if it doesn't leak it should be okay just grind it down and smoothen it out

 

Who cares? If it doesnt leak just leave it alone.

 

**** y0, that thing is just no good, give it to me you will love that thing if you put it in your car

 

Looks like they used a hammer and chisel. If it doesn't leak, it'll work. You can use a grinder to smooth that out, but I wouldn't take much more material off that.

 

was the person who did that drunk??

if it doesnt leak it will be fine, if it does...well then u have a leaky motor

grind that **** out and ur good to go

 

i'd personally get that welded... just because its not leaking now, doesn't mean it might not leak later on down the road. then its going to cost you a lot of dough just because you cheaped out now.

Yeah its just the webbing. as long as it doesnt leak your money

 

i thought the ctr pistons read "PCT?" P72 are GSR end caps/rods..

 

damn looks like some guy took a bite outta that

 

i have never seen the rods out of a ctr or the caps but i know the block is just a p72block with a "b16b" stamp on it. kinda like the b17a. its a b16block with "b17a1" stamped on it

 

Well the block does not leak to my knowledge...the rods are p72 caps with either 22 or 23 between the caps and the rod where the would split in half and the crank has an "X" on it so I would say that someone in japan stroked the b16b to a 1.8L using a Spoon kit or factory (1.8L) type r parts. Thanks for all your input about the block... the b16b block looks abused and used. Nasty and dirty looking so maybe I'll find a jdm b18c and stuff the parts into it...But the compression ratio would be high, 11.8 to 1 (if I'm correct). Heres two more pics, one is of the piston and the other is from a different view of the over-zelous turbo mod.
