Re: L/Z conversion

[David Costello]

also, the reason for all the questions is my Z18 bottom end is about to pack it in because of a badly damaged crank, has spun 2 bearings, rather than rebuild it I was planning on getting a decent condition either L20 or Z20 bottom end and put this in instead.... how do I go about the oil cooling setup for the turbo? obviously the block won't have the right oil outlet for the turbo that the Z18ET block does, how do I get around this?   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 9:51 PM Subject: RE: L/Z conversion Dave,   A U67 and a Z18ET head have exactly the same chamber volume i.e. 45.2cc so the compression ratio would be all but the same (allow small variance due to head gasket thickness, shaves etc) CR of L20B varies from 8.2:1 to 9.2:1 depending on year - Black top S2 Bluebird is the highest.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Costello Sent: Monday, 7 January 2002 7:35 PM To: Ozdat Mailing List Subject: L/Z conversion guys what compression ratio would you end up with if you put a Z18ET head on an L20B or Z20 bottom end?   is either block stronger? the L20 or the Z20?   could I get enough shaved off the top of the L20 pistons to use the Z18 head?   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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
