a project is never done..never ending.Comment

honed cylinders, honed wrist pins out, they were set at one tenth clearance so i punched them out to half thousandths.
next is deburring the cylinders, washing and put one piston/rod and crank in it an check the deck height and see whether or not it needs to be decked.
i knwo the rod is very slightly longer than stock so i hope it isnt an issue. im going to sell my beater BMW for funding of this project. im hoping to get this up before the next season of auto-x and racing in general. then im going to work on the JDM F20a thats in the project car right now. it'll be for a local member.

here it is mocked up. instead of getting valvetrain im going to get the flywheel and clutch setup so that i can balance it with the damper and crankshaft. im going to go with an ACT 4 puck, it's not street driven so who cares about streetability!
the piston is sticking out of the hole a bit so it looks like im going to have more than 12:1 compression which is good because it's going to be on race gas.

You going to have enough piston-to-head clearance? If not, you going to have to modify the head for clearance on this or thicker headgasket? I believe it was .040" clearance you needed and the areas on the outer diameter of the piston top are the ones that have the smaller clearances typically. I'm sure your machine shop coworkers know that and will tell you to put clay strips there when checking.Comment

of course man, im not going to slap it together only to find out the crank doesnt turn overOriginally posted by HondaFan81 View Post
i have a .060 and a virgin f22 head that hasnt been surfaced at all so im pretty much ready to modify. i do want to get as much compression as i can since it will only see race gas.Comment

Yeah tootise roll is prob cheaper too. Just take two of them put the on the piston with the wraper on.( keep the wraper on, the wraper has a waxy coating so it doesn't stick) Then put the head on with gasket and torque it down. Remove the head and stick the tootsies in the frezzer until they are good and solid. After there solid measure clearance with a mic.

Don't rely on rotating assy just being able to turn over as it being OK. You can have enough clearance to do that, but when the engine gets hot and you take into account the metals of the rod, that is where problems occur.Originally posted by wed3k View Postof course man, im not going to slap it together only to find out the crank doesnt turn over

I believe forged/steel rods are .040 inch minimal PTH clearance and aluminum rods need more. Specs should have been included with the pistons.Comment
