I pulled the Head Off over the weekend. This is my first time diggin in into a motor and it was quite fun. The following items are going into my mini build.

1. ZZP Stage 2 blown cams.
2. Super Tech springs Kit
3. Port Head (Euthenesia)
4. Balance Shaft Delete Kit
5. ARP Head Bolts
6. Stock Head Gasket New

My current mods are :

1. M62 Ported - 2.7 pulley
2. Shorty Header to 2.5 cat back
3. Methanol Kit
4. intake
5. Injectors 60s
6. ZZP H/E
7. Dual Pass with option B

Im plannnng on revving all the way up to 7800 to 8k on a 3.0 pulley. my goal is to reach 320 330 whp. what do you guys think? My ultimate goal is to throw a bigger Supercharger. ill post a picture of my stock pistons.....tell me if this is normal.

 

you running neutral balance shafts or a balance shaft delete kit? If it's the delete kit I believe you will need to run an electric water pump.

 

shoulda jus built the lower end while u were tearin into it but good luck on ur goals either way im sure ull b more than pleased with the new power

 

Is this normal. pistons look beat......i guess the color of them scares me black/burned?

 

I dont have.the.funds to build the block right now.....so ill start with this and see.how it goes.

 

Im doing balance shaft delete kit and It doesnt need a electric water pump.

 

Stock bottom end will be more than capable of handling the power he will be making.

Water meth

 

Your pistons look fine. Thats just carbon from running gas. E85 makes them nice and clean

Keep this thread updated with pics!

 

Just came back from dropping my head at euthanisias place. great guy and he also told me it was just carbon on my pistons. Peace of mind. I will update with pics as I go. Tomorrow im going to begin the installation of bs delete kit.

 

Looks pretty healthy for 60-70k onthe block

 

If you are going to have the head machined, make sure the surface of the block is perfectly flat so that the headgasket seats correctly and doesnt leak, other than that looks like a fun build good luck man

 

Thanks. Euthanisia is taking care of all the details on the head.

 

how hard is the balance shaft delete to do with the motor in? i heard u had to drop it out of the car to get to that. i have cams, springs, and retainers waiting to go in but i am waiting to get it all done at once that way i'm not tearing the motor apart twice

 

It would be a good idea to do it all at once. That way you dont have to keep messing with the motor and tune. My plan is to dropped the motor just enough to have room to remove the balance shafts. Hopefully is not that much of a pain.....

 

The head is getting taken apart and hot tanked today.

 

Rudy who's tuning your car for this beast setup?

 

similar to my setup, good luck

 

Awsome. Thaks for the update!

 

Hmmmmm. I think my car wants to be street tune on the streets of camarillo

 

Wats ur set up and how do u like it.
Fyi, im on my phone and.cant see your sig....if u haf ur set up there.

 

nice build man, am sure u'll be hitting 300whp+ with this setup

 

Thanks. I hope I do.320 whp will put a smile on my m62.

 

I'm sure there's someone crazy enough to tune it

I dunno though, may require a lot of meth

 

if you have E85 and a good reliable tune, you can deff pull it off man. with meth, meh.... it can be done but i wouldnt trust meth as much as E

 

It will actually require meth at its best
