Starting Over. Thinking of just building it stock, cast pistons and all!

Damn computers. Long reply with failure to load!!!

Anyway, I did buy a new Torque wrench to eliminate that as a possible problem.

This same builder built 4 motors for us...All Bad.
One stock...

Originally it was a Copper Gasket Setup with Receiving Grooves in the head. That is how it was built. But never held a gasket (even at Idle).
Went with a thicker Copper gasket, Bad.

You can see how thick the ring is and how much stick up when installed.

Actually that was tried originally.
There were receiving groves in the head.
Tries many different gaskets, many different combinations
The engine builder is to blame.

I even went so far to...

The o-Ring was properly done.
It sits in a groove.
It is suppose to stay there.
Just looks like excessive heat that caused it.
Not sure.

Me too!, but you of all people would appreciate this car running again! :)

Motor is OUT!
Some wierd stuff here with the O-rings going inside the chamber.
And remember, this motor never seen...

Well here is the Donor Motor. Hope all is good with the block.
I want to stay 2.2 because I like A LOT of boost!

I guess we will see what the machine shop has to say about my old parts. Not...

Robert, nice car!

Thanks Bob!

Picked up the donor block today.

Oh, Wise Guy!

Yeah, I really think I might be going back to a completely stock bottom end and stock head.
I just need to know how far I can go. I was convinced after my last dyno run with my old...

Yup, located a block (with a little help from Todd N.) to start a new motor build.
This will see the track again this year. (I hope)

Sorry this is old news, maybe you gave up.
But just so you know. I have 16 volt regulators for the Denso Alternators for our cars. :)

How does this JackWagon get a thread about his car that is over 54 pages long?! :)

Good luck on the build!

Hmmm, Wouldn't it be wonderful if I got off my --- and got my car running again!

1987 Dodge Shadow Race Ready Rolling Chassis (With bad motor)

-10 point Chrome Moly Cage tied into front frame
-Race Seat with Harness, passenger seat
-Automatic Console
-Line Locks, front and...

You are more than welcome to give it a try! And if you like it you can buy it!

Sorry, I know this thread is old, but I thought I would add my 2cents.

My car was a Stock Block, Stock Pistons (cast) and a Stock Head.

I was running a stock computer with a grainger valve,...

You bought a genuine Denso alt for $127? I find that hard to believe.

The units I sell are not from China, and carry a 2 year warranty

Check for the intermittent block of wood under the skinny pedal on the right.
