ehh figured it out. made my order. now im heading out to pull the motor

I'm thinking the only real troublespot with a 110 is if you've got a really thick hunk of flange, getting penetration into that... but if you're following your structural welding 101 stuff, you'll have put a bevel on it.... for the tube to tube stuff... if you are having trouble with the 110, you'd be blowing holes in it with the 220.

^this Dont get my wrong i like my 110 and have had schooling in welding and understand the theory side of things but i've always preferred having a 220. I'd really like to TIG some stainless headers...but i dont really care enough at the moment to be honest. We'll see maybe you've guys inspired me and ill build my own stuff but i like Ed's work and sometimes...i just dont have time which is something you can't buy.

I wonder how representative the picture is. There is no dish on those pistons, so they are 10:1.... $137 for pistons and rings is really good... I was looking at ~$100 for just chrome rings through RockAuto...

[Mdoe8]

Not sure, can always message him and ask. The description states they are 8.9:1

motor is out. i did it by my self for the most part but did everything slow and we took brakes to do other things.


oil did not look nice.. it had a greanishness to it and was kinda creamy but nothing that stood out.

its on the stand right now.. not torn down


two things to think about

- my oil dip stick is ruined ( i think) it got bent up during engine removal.

- power steering is coming out. is it cool to just loop the lines for the rack with fluid in them? i grew fond of no power steering so i want the pump gone for more space, cleaner look, less weight.



coolant anyone?





my steel was shipped today too. cool

Can you use the DOHC heads on this engine?

[RoadWarrior222]

Short answer: No
Not quite as short answer: It's more work than you'd think.

Ick, maybe this one will need bearings if you've been running hard on milkshake..... every winter I'd get a bit of condensation scum in mine though, so not entirely sure how bad we're talking here... but green sounds like coolant. Did we have some worries about your headgasket a few months back?

well i put new headgaskets on but did not mill the heads like i should have. like ed said, its best to do that. Brent did not tell me to NOT mill the heads.. he told me he has gotten away with not doing it so i took a stab at it and i think that caused the heads to not seal right and allowed me to heat up when in boost.. enough was enough and POP


thanks for subscriptions guys. i hope to start cleaning gunk out tonight after work

they bolt on but my accessories wont work with the new heads and its hard to fit the motor into the bay. its not a direct swap for the dodge cars.

[TainterRacing]

I didn't think the dohc heads have the same coolant and oil placement. So you can't realy bolt it on...... and run it.

[Sundance 6g72]

so what do i do about the dip stick and dip stick tube....

[Mdoe8]

Go to a junkyard and buy another one, or bend it back.

As for power steering, yes you can loop it. Many lsx rx7 people do this. It will be harder to move than a manual rack though.

[Sundance 6g72]

i havnt looked at it much. if its hard to pull at the yard ill just bend it unless someone gives me a legit reason to just ditch it

[wallace]

Can you swap the entire DOHC engine in place of the SOHC?

[Sundance 6g72]

as far as head swap goes. i cant see why the dohc heads wouldnt bolt onto a sohc black and here is why. We can run dohc twin turbo OEM MLS headgaskets. they are the best ones available. If the dohc headgasket works then the oil passeges and coolant passeges should be the same

you can swap a dohc motor into a shadow but its not easy. people have done it but you need custom mounts that cant be bought. the a543 tranny will still bolt up though.

enough of that though, not relevent to this thread

[TainterRacing]

DOHC





SOHC

[Sundance 6g72]

thats weird. why am i told we can run oem dohc headgaskets...
