Its all cnc done.

The block is machined then its mirriored into a plate of half inch thick aluminum then set into the block then welded in a few spots. Its really shitty if u ask me..but now im stuck with it.

O ok, m, I would just think that it would be cheaper and just as good to fill the block with filler,

block filler is for the bottom of the cylinders we need it at the top

So turn the block upside down silly


I think Trevor has a good idea that I'm looking in to. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Kind of a DIY gen3 minus the sand cast part...

Tjolley

I think its the main thing that saved my block wen i lifted the head.

Why do you say "hotter than satan's pookiehole" Its still being cooled up by the coolent, Its the same concept as whats done to that the ZZP motor,

Here is my problem with the ZZP motor!! ( IMO )So its filled by a different type of Alum then the block, And there for will expend and contract differently, And i would just after so long, it would end up putting to much stress on something, and ending up cracking something, but again that IMO, Iam not a master engine builder or anything, just in .02

the aluminum the block is made from has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, it will expand more and the filler will expand less. The only thing that will happen is small gaps MAY open up (less than a couple ten thousands of an inch because the coefficents are very close), no problems would happen from this. No residual stresses would be caused by different types of aluminum

Because I assumed you meant solid blocking it. There was a couple Honda guys that tried making a closed deck with Devcon, filling the block up all but an inch with sugar, pouring a girdle, then washing it out; one ended up cracking all 4 sleeves.

I remember that thread.

hucks1987

No it would pretty much be just like the ZZP girdle, But with block filler, you would still be getting water to the head to mantain cooling, Just Idea i have

I'm liking the dowelling idea to mimic the gen3 blocks.

Tjolley

Yep ill have pictures wen its all said and done.

Still debaiting on folowing the gen3 design totaly or adding to it on the ends.

for one how are you going to get it stay at the top for the hardening process and then you have to worry about it sliding down and breaking up

hucks1987

Turn it upside down, put tape or something so it doesnt leak into the sleeves,and fill it, it would only be about 1/2 inch, And it would say up there, its an expoy, so it will stick to the block, as long as its cleaned right

apparently you have know idea

hucks1987

Its an IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!just thinking out loud, **** me!!!!

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

your not my type


regular block fill is to be at the bottom of the cylinder and fill upwards

Did you not read my post about the guys that used Devcon? Which is an aluminum based epoxy?

Tjolley

The epoxy has nothing below it to support it and the vibrations might cause it to break apart

Tjolley

Here is a side by side shot of wat is happening here.
I have the pedal assembly out also. That was a big pain to get out lol.

Tjolley

Been a while since i updated this. Been helping other ppl with there builds.



Exhaust ports r almost done.


For those of u that dont know i picked up a Tvs 1320. I still plan to do some M62 dyno pulls and Hopfuly set a record.

I have yet to order the parts to setup a second fuel system. That will come at a later time.

I think my TOB gave up Im finding brake fluid under the.car. So this is giving me a reason to get the 2.4 ready cuz if Im putting a new TOB in it will be attached to a 2.4.
