Re: Z series questions

[mark krawczuk]

hi, it touches  below that. i just  bevelled the  bottom of the  bore, cause it sorta looked like it was close. not really sure on price,  u would have to  bring it some where with 2.4 crank and  at least 1 rod/piston combo.   i would  do it for nothing , but i think freight  would be a concern.    mark k ----- Original Mehi, it touches ssage ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 12:47 PM Subject: Re: Z series questions where does the conrod touch the block? inside the cylinders? or below that would It be expensive to get it done somewhere?   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: mark krawczuk To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 9:03 AM Subject: Re: Z series questions hi, you will have to bolt every thing up ,  pistons etc. due to irregularities in casting (if i remember rightly) i`m pretty sure that mine crank etc... turned around in side block, but scraped a little.  then look where the conrod  touches the inside of the block and use a carbide cutter.die grinder and  grind away until u get adequate clearance, be careful of the oil gallery   near  no 1 ? or 2? piston.  if you do grind thru it , a sleeve  can be made and  knocked  in thru the front. just for safety, i  ground a chamfer on the bottom  of the cylinder bore , when the con rod goes to the side as crank rotates. not sure on blck strength though. if u use a z efi head on l20b block u will have to dent in the right hand side  shocker tower to clear the efi manifold.    mark k  ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 1:22 PM Subject: Re: Z series questions what mods are needed to fit the Z24 crank into either the L20 or Z20 blocks which block should I use ? is either stronger than the other only reason I was going to use the Z20 block is cause I figured it'd make it easier to use the Z series head etc instead of having to muck around with the timing belt/case setup   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Richardson, Thomas Morgwn - RICTM002 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 10:11 AM Subject: RE: Z series questions 1) Yes, with the same mods needed as per L20b block 2) Yes (Errol differs but my Z18ET turbo manifold bolted right onto a Z20E head with no mods) 3) There are small differences in valve and port size between models 4) If you used Z20E rods you'd need custom forged pistons of about 27mm in compression height and about a 15cc dish to get 9:1.  Strength might be an issue at a smaller height or larger dish than that?  Ask the piston mob.  It would probably be easier to use L20b conrods and get them to copy Z24 pistons but with a bigger dish, in whatever bore diameter you want to take the block out to. -----Original Message----- From: David Costello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 21 November 2001 10:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Z series questions was just wondering a few things about Z series motors   #1 will the Z24 crank go in the Z20 block?   #2 will the Z18ET manifolds bolt up to the Z20 head?   #3 out of the Z18, z20 and z24 heads, is there any particular one that flows better?   #4 assuming the z24 crank fits, what pistons and rods would I use? Z20 rods and pistons?  not really worried about final compression ratio cause I will be getting forgies made up so I'll get them made with a little less compression if need be, just wondering which pistons I should get them to copy   Thanks guys n girls   Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
