Thread: Operation SR24VVL IN PROGRESS ONCE AGAIN

- I don't see why the 2.0 motor wouldn't make as much power as the 2.4 you built by looking at your parts.

think the exhaust valves are +2. i'll measure the shit when i pull the heads off both motors.
i'm of the school that "there's no replacement for displacement", so i highly doubt the 2.0 will be anywhere near where the sub-par 2.4 was for power.(:

If the compression is raised on the 2.0L, 235hp and a mean powerband can be made with the ported head, my custom cam setup and your intake manifold with a larger TB. Only thing you will need is a proper 4-1.

when will this be mainstream? how is the testing going?

Had big changes with life so I had to take a break for a while.

Just getting back into the game. The cams from Charles will be tested in the big motor in the coming weeks, I just had a chance to test smaller cam combos in a 2L here in the shop last week.

When the cam grinder gets off his ass these things can be pushed out.

finished pulling the engine Monday. total 8 hours. using a floor jack is a slow process.

time for another break while i contemplate Tuesday's tear down.



some shots with the head removed.








a second parts pile

i could find no evidence of a head gasket leak. the deck is perfectly smooth with the sleeves and front cover. i wonder if its possible the leak is more internal to the block? between the sleeve and a coolant passage. i'll tackle the lower end next Monday.

Nice job staying motivated on this build Rick! If I was further South I'd be helping you out. Is the 200 black now? Did I miss something?

It is not black, still good ol teal FN4.

If you look at pics 4 and 6. The gasket residue looks like it barely seals between the water jacket and the oil drain.

If that's the case seems the only way to do this build is with the bored vet gasket. Nothing else seems to hold.

have too much $$ invested to say fuk-it



it's actually a slightly bluer version of FN4 with larger metallic particles in it. you have to see it in the sun to believe it


who's using the bored ve-t gasket on a 92mm?
i went and took a look at the gasket, again. i saw some interesting little holes for the coolant. wonder why 90% of a coolant passage would be block off by the gasket
when i pull the head of the spare motor i'll have something "factory" to compare.
