So after much deliberation I've decided to go with a 2.8l build to replace my very tired stock M20B25 with 300,000+ miles.
I was originally going for a 2.7l build until I got a killer deal on a M52B28 motor at the local euro yard for $100. The head was damaged but everything else was good. After selling off everything except the crank I actually had a little extra cash to put back into the build.
This build consists of the following parts:
M20B25 Pistons (with shaved skirts)
M52B28 Crank Shaft - 0.25in (6mm) shaved off the counterweights, rebalanced and polished
M20B27 eta 130mm Rods
New Piston Rings, Rod and Main Bearings
M20B25 Block - Hot Tanked and Honed
Custom spacer for M52B28 crank (to seal w/ M20B25 front crank seal)
M20B25 Piston - Shaved Skirt and Polished
Pistons w/ 130mm eta Rods - Before and After Assembly
Installing the Crank Shaft and Main Bearings
Checking New Ring Gaps and Installing the Pistons
First Piston Installed (perfect!)
All the Pistons Installed
Custom Spacer Installed
Oil Pump Installed.
Check back soon for updates...
