Did a couple pulls tonite car started miss firing real bad smelled coolant pulled over coolant gushing out of exhaust gonna pull the head hopefully just a head gasket but I'm guessing a sleeve I'll keep you guys posted

 

time to build her up

 

Ha yea pulled the plugs cyl#1 has coolant in it all other are fine pulling the head tomarrow Thinking the head gasket blew or cracked head

 

damn.....more psi nowww lol

 

welcome to the club mccgee. cant wait to see the build get underway. you been a hero to me being one of first zzp turbo'd cars and i'm looking forward to what you continue to do with your ride.

 

lol


MOAR NAO!!!

 

damm goodluck

 

Yea if motor is still okay just gonna do head studs springs but if needs motor look out for 500+ whp build

 

Pulled the head cyl #1 sleeve is cracked guess I'll be getting a motor

 

are you sleeving? most of us built 2.2's haven't gone with sleeves but i personally don't need a 400hp daily driver.

 

Not sure yet either gonna get the zzp motor cus I don't feel like buliding it but idk I'm calling bates tomarrow I'm really hoping zzp will work with me cus I think I've been a good customer and helped sell there products

 

number 1 **** bates..they screwed up like 3 different blocks in the last few years. Get darton sleeves cause zzp blocks are wayyy expensive for wat it is. I built my entire engine in like 6-8 hours, its not a hard task by any means

 

Damn i'm glad i decided to build mine before something like that happened to me.

 

oh crap... yeah don't think i'm gonna boost the balt now I can't afford a new engine and or just parts if that happens to me and warranty would be out the window lol

he screwed up my boy phil's built redline engine somethin with the crank sensor gettin chewed up

 

Timing the 2.4's suck so do the lnf 's

 

wat different about the timing from a 2.4 from a 2.2..ive never messed with a 2.4

 

I'm worried about doing the timing on mine. how hard is it?

 

what happened with the timing?

 

its easy thats why i asked him if there is a difference.

 

I'm pretty sure it sucks to time the balance shafts n everything dyevto the vvt but I've never messed with them just was told by a good freind who built his lnf

 

that sucks man.. but you had a good run on it.. usually blown head gasket = cracked sleeve it might just be best to see if you can pick up a 06 block from somplace for cheap and run that

 

Ya im gonna call around at work today see what I can find

 

how much power did u have? u were 300+ right?

 

Yea prollY close to 400 during the summer / bought a usedLong block for 350 not sure what all I'm gonna do yet

 

How much boost were you pushing on that s256?
