i drove 3 days and i was wondering if the head would be warpped from that?

2K5SS/SC?

Um... we need more details than you drove three days would that warp my head? Did you blow a headgasket or something else?

thatotherguy

Yeah it was blown in the middle of the cylinders

it starting to sound like an sti and i mean i never drove it hard but the vavle cover was pretty hott from not boosting

2K5SS/SC?

You might have a cracked piston as well. Your head will definitely need to be resurfaced since it blew. Whenever a headgasket blows, the head should be resurfaced or the new gasket will just blow again.

yeah #4 was broke but still together when i tore the engine apart, and #2&3 had cracks around the rings, but i got aftermarket head studs and headgasket, diamond pistons, new rods and a new crank.. all after market

2K5SS/SC?

New aftermarket crank? Who makes that? Yeah, since you're replacing all that, get the head ported and polished and resurfaced while you're at it. I would do cams, srings, and neutral balance shafts as well. Might as well go all out and do it right.

thatotherguy

yeah it is getting ported and bored over to a 2.4

Its a billet crankshaft the sites not working well atleast not for me you try

2K5SS/SC?

Ahhh.... Making a homemade 2.4 are we? Very nice! Site won't work for me either.

definitely like what im hearing, wish I had cash to throw around like that

yepp well im not doing any of it a shop my cars at is doing everything for $1,300 not including the porting supercharged and head.

that site use to work a few weeks ago but i dont know what happened to it.

but i cant wait to see the numbers im supposed to get it back at the end of the week or begining of next.

sounds like your going to have a bad ass motor

thatotherguy

yepp see i drove untuned on a stage 3 kit for about 8 months and now everything starting to go but that was the dumbest thing ive ever done..




I know this might be a stupid ? but someone told me pistons increase hp... i didnt believe it

2K5SS/SC?

They can increase HP if you go with higher compression ones. This can be true in a sense.

thatotherguy

yeah we run high compression when we boost right? so why a high compression? i went with 9:1:5 i think im not sure its somewhere around there but people tell me they will increase hp cuz there lighter and there flat top pistons

2K5SS/SC?

What the heck is 9:1:5? Did you mean 9.5:1? That's the stock compression and exactly what I would go with for a build. Usually heavily boosted cars run a lower compression ratio to prevent excess heat and premature detonation.
