D16Z6 Rebuild Thread + snoob's Bay Tuck
So a little while ago, my friend snoob and I swapped a d15b vtec into his car, and the z6 that was in the way of that had to come out. After pulling the rod and bearing (w/piston) that was causing it to knock, we let it sit, and then busted the head off a month or two later, then the block, etc.
The process avalanched and completely became a full-scale rebuild and we have everything figured out save the crank and the pistons/rods. The crank is somewhat scored from the knocking rod/bearing, and may need to be machined along with acquiring an oversized bearing, and probably y8 pistons/rods or perhaps some tuner toy rods. Pictures of the crank are coming, along with pictures of the DIY port & polish job we did.
Hopefully I can put this in a 5g hatch soon, as long as the world's supply doesn't run dry.
