Project: butt dyno

[almostJDM]

ok so im finally gonna be starting my build but only because of some unfortunate events, about 2 weeks ago as i was just arriving to work my car shut off on me like it sometimes does so i didnt think anything of it but when i restarted it it sounded like a boxer engine..YIKES so i parkerd her and went to work cause i was about late. So i came out for my first break and poped the hood and immediatly noticed quite a bit of oil by the intake tube so i checked a few things over and replaced a few things and still same......ok so today i did a comp test on my f20B and heres what i found:
#1:145 #2:140 #3 140 #4:..........a big fat 0 so i added some oil and same thing but this time it sounded like the other cylinders for about a second so time to as vin diesel said "rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried" or possibly in my case some blown valve seals so ive decided to build her up to be the beast she was ment to be so here it the start of


PROJECT: BUTT DYNO!!!!

i was gonna say to try and do a leakdown to see where the loss is coming from/....but ur ripping it apart. good luck with the build,.....what are u gonna use for replacement parts???

[cp[mike]]

nice nice!! yeah it sucks when stuff like this happens (it happens to all of us...) but its a reason to come back bigger and stronger.

what are the current plans thus far?

when you do a leak down, that will determine where the leak is coming from.

did a leak down and found out its comming from the valve seals, lucky huh so i may just keep the cb down and build it up for my winter project

yup i hear ye mike lol so far im gonna tear out the engine and build it up as much as i can then possibly do a wire tuck and add a little secret, im still trying to find a T2T4 or T2W4, im planning on completly redoing the entire cb, im gonna completly strip it and build form the ground up with new everything that i havent replaced in the last few months, thats about it for now lol i hope to have it done by the end of summer/ end of fall

Screw the JDM pose... we need more pictures of cb7 owners hugging their engines!

Sorry to hear the F20B is crapping out on you... at least you have a good mindset about it! A lot of people would just say "well, that motor is ruined... sell the car and move on..."

We can share stories of our progress as I build my H22... I need internals first though!

and my house

[deevergote]

Man, nice house! I wish I had a place like that! Cut your garage in two, stack the halves on top of each other... and you get my house. I need to move out of NJ... it's so expensive to live here (and I live in the cheap part of the state!)

Just dont move to Florida. Its expensive as hell and you dont get paid enough to keep up with the high prices . An apartment could cost u $250,000 thats used to be the price of an house 5 yrs ago. A decent 3/2 house could cost u both ur arms, and ur life lol
