Bottom End-rebuild?

[B20F22A1]

So today JHONDAAJ came to my house too check out my car. We start by checking my motor to see if every thing looks good timming,belts,vaccum hoses, and oil. Started my car and didnt hear what i wanted to here. Joe said it maybe a bad ROD or maybe a rod bearings We noticed theres been some patch work done on the block, not bad of a job but this bottom end has been cracked before or something? Should i REBUILD or by another bottom end??? PLEAS HELP!

The block has been cracked and repaired before correct?

If thats the case Id just get a new block....Might as well get something that hasnt been fucked with.

for this case...

Junkyard is your BEST friend

It might have been cracked, theres splatter marks of a weld job but thats all i can see. The junk-yards up here fucking suck unless u guys know anyone selling a motor? I think im just going to save up and buy a H22

Now is the time to consider a built block, however I'm sure you can locate a forum member selling a stock F22 block on good condition.

You gotta save alot to swap a h22.

Get a short block send it to a machine shop have it balanced blue printed deburred honed decked. Assemble it with Forged Pistons Cryogenicly treated rods OEM bearings and Gaskets. Get a chipped ECU and SPRAY 125HP. I think youd be making more than the H22. Call and get some quotes.

short block = 300
Machine Work and assembly = 800
forged pistons= 450
nitrous=600
tune=200
$2300= Rebuilt motor with warranty from shop and 250 WHP

$2300= DOC VTAK Y0! Now Im bout to spend a grip to make up for my vtec valve cover and 160WHP.

FRM= FTL
Iron Sleeves=FTW

What about the other 99% that you're not using nitrous? Your car is slow as balls. Nitrous is a waste IMO. (Unless you race at the track)

^ nuh uh

He could do that, Im just stating an opinion and option/route he could take. Still That bottom end could be turbo charged or H22 swapped. While the H22 bottom end would need sleeves. The choice is his he might even end up getting a neon.

save up and get the H !! .. if you can find a cheap f22ax then go for it.. but if you got to pull the motor .. why not put in an H !!

I like the idea of the whole rebuilt on the orignal block but maybe doing a frankenstien again might just not cut it. Dont get me wrong when i had the frankenstein it was fun... alot fun I was thinkin about a H22 block and H23 head and turbo the bitch just for the fun of it, just that things like this cost some money and some cool hook-ups. I just want my car up in running again even if i have go back to stock

[jhondayaaj]

fyi, h23 head is non v tec.

[B20F22A1]

I know that the head is not vtec so........

[jhondayaaj]

non v tec head on v tec bottom end??

[Boost_Lee]
