Don't understand your question.

SLDWYZ · 10-28-2009, 03:32 PM

how did you come to this conclusion ?

took off a head and the cylinder wall was all messed up

SLDWYZ · 10-28-2009, 04:09 PM

Well, that sounds like an expensive rebuild coming up ... sorry to say

Can you be any more specific?

detonation killed the piston.....the piston killed the cylinder

I would think if you knew how to take off your cylinder head you'd know how to fix it....

Lets see some pictures.

If the wall is cracked, then you might as well scrap the block. If its just scratched, a re-honing might be all you need. Deep scratching might be fixable with boring.

You might also just be better off getting an EJ25 block. Depends on your budget, goals, etc.
