Got me a Fuji pulled Ej22t block from Jackstand for a new powerplant in the GC. Going to build it her up with some eagle rods/acl or cosworth bearings and I havent decided on pistons yet... Pictures! Closed deck Yumminess :yumyum: Stripped her from the waterpump, oilpump and crossover pipe. I thought she looked alittle dirty, so I gave her a makeover.... Yah, she cleaned up alright, still alot of residue/gunk. Once I get the halves out of the hot tank it will look alot better, also show me where I need to do some touchups.
It's only 17 bolts to split the halves. WTF Word on the street is, CP is where its at. Spendy yes. Bomb-proof, yes. They will be my next pistons.
^ lol I was going to split it but I couldnt find my wristpiston tool! I want CP, but couldnt find any for the 22 block
You have to have them made, but from the stories I've been told by a very experienced engine builder, they are worth the money. STi rods will break before the CP's. :eek3:
^Good golly miss Molly! Tim told me the story you told him about the rod breaking and the cp piston was reused in the next build. Very impressive.
Yes. If you go CP Pistons, you might want to reconsider the choice of Eagle rods, in favor of something alittle more bomb proof and less air soft proof.
If he is going to build something that absolutely needs Pauter Machine rods, as in over 700hp, he'll want to sleeve it anyways. All of a sudden, your shortblock costs another $1500 :eek3:
Nice! I gots em freeeee straight from salomon Yah, the eagle h beams should be good enough with the 16g....If i ever go mentaly insane and get a rotated set-up i'll think about upgrading the rods
