The Crvtec is Dead....
 

First off I'd like to say that 2003 has been the worst year for me..

yes, happened last night street racing, I was racing a GSXr600 on the freeway. and all of a sudden she started smoking badly. I knew what happened... as soon as I saw all that smoke. I hoped for broken ring lands (pistons).. I couldnt sleep all night, so I went into work this morning at 6am, took the head off, and sure as ---- all the sleeves are cracked inbetween the cylinders. As I said before, B20 sleeves are weak, and they will break.

So whats next?... good question, first off I'm getting hammered tonite then sunday I'm getting a rent a car and going to vegas for 10 days. When I get back I'll figure something out. But as always, everytime I break something, I always come out with something bigger and better.

sorry to hear about the shitty luck, but i cant wait to see whats next.

Re:The Crvtec is Dead....
 

sorry about your loss, well i guess now you can put better sleeves which means MORE BOOST ;D

Re:The Crvtec is Dead....
 

:o dude i thought your pins/posts were the ----. wonder how long the built zc is gonna last for the guys that bought it i know d series sleeves are stronger than b20's but ---- how much boost were you running? I'll bet it was more than 12psi

well. lets see.. by judging jeff's pattern of engines im going to take a shot at whats next.

first engine, built zc (1.6l)
second engine, LS/Vtec (1.8l)
third engine, CRVtec (2.0l)

fourth motor? next step would be closed deck h22a right!? (2.2l)

that or sleeve the crvtec, anything other then the sleeves get toasted jeff?
