RIP B16 bottom end :::PICS:::::
 

Well i figure since steve showed his carnage i went and pulled my head off this morning & discovered this.
Pistons seem ok, You were right jeff. just that huge ass crack on #2 and looks like that start of 1 crack on #1

I have a new headgasket not sure if i can reuse the ARP headstuds. I just need my block to be shipped then my Black POS will be running.

pull the pistons out just to make sure they are ok. I'm sure they are

Re: RIP B16 bottom end :::PICS:::::
 

whats the new setup going to be? was ur turbo ok still

Re: RIP B16 bottom end :::PICS:::::
 

yeah, it took me a week to get the head off. I did not want to bother you any more then i already had so i figure i could do it and take my time and put all my bolts and labled them in zip lock bags. I will leave pulling the pistons out up to the professionals. Jeff when all my stuff gets here if you could slap that new block in i would pay you whatever you want plus give you the cracked block if you wanted it.

Steve turbo is ok my downpipe is messed up still cause it sits to low. I have to take that in to get my vband flange welded back on then i can fix my powerplate. Just got to get that block here and see if jeff will toss that in for a few hundred dollars.

Damn that sucks. Could have been much worse though.

Don't see why you couldn't reuse the headstuds.

Re: RIP B16 bottom end :::PICS:::::
 

You can resue factory head studs. ARP one are way okay to reuse!

I know this is HMT but is there really any difference in a Greddy/Toda Timming belt vs OEM? other then bling status and Price?

Re: RIP B16 bottom end :::PICS:::::
