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!

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.

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!

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
