Brian. Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Got the engine torn down a bit more yesterday before work. Coming along slowly, but I got all the time in the world. I also cut off the rusted rear muffler because I was afraid it'd fall off on the highway an explode into a rust bomb. This is what was left: This is also the car I picked up off Jawa for a good price. Yay winter beater! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Did a little work on the daily, the rear muffler was a bit rotted out, decided to remove it, didn't realize just how bad it was...:Started tearing the motor down to a bare block to get it ready for hot tanking, primer, and paint.This motor was rusty an crusty on the outside. But a bit of wire wheel action, and a bit of sand blasting will get this thing looking minty as ever!Cylinder walls had no scoring, no ridging, so that's good!Pistons looked pretty good for the miles as well!The crank looks to be nice as well. It has no scoring, no scratches, etc. So I'm all around pretty happy!An this is how I left it. No sleep with a work in a few hours, I needed some rest!

jc43089 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I used cast blast paint on the m20 I built, color looks like fresh blasted cast, not sure how it holds up but the guy who looked did my block work recommended it.

Brian. Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Still not as shiny as I'd like. That looks like typical vht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Mine isnt vht. It is a very metallic duplicolor engine enamel. Doesnt look as shiny in that picture as othersYou can see somewhat where the sun hits it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Possibly. I like the SR20's color better. really pops. Which is nice, considering 90% of the M30 block is masked by a gallon sized starter, and a stupid as fuck intake design. SO the bits that will show, will look like a sex machine in the shadows.

jc43089 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 How many miles were on it? Just curious, the M20 in the picture had somewhere over 280k and still had no ridge , only about .003 wear towards the bottom. The shop I had inspect, tank, and hone it was very impressed, he said a 350 chevy will have a big ridge at 150k lol. And the m52 I did had 215k and the crosshatching was still there. I don't have a good pic of the M20 but this is the M52. And both of these had overheated from a cracked head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 What are your plans for the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Exhaust or intake? Exhaust, I'm putting my down payment on my tubular exhaust manifold once my wheels sell. Intake is getting modified. Factory m30 intake Mani is poorly designed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Its not a bad design IMO. Manifold inlet is centered for best chance of equal cylinder filling, Long runner length to improve low+midrange power (turbo can take care of top end power ), Equal length (if not very close to equal length) runners. Im a fan of flipping the TB position though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm flipping it. An stock manifold goes over exhaust? Poor design... Just sayin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Did you get the block hot tanked and the cylinders re-crossed hatched? Spill the beans!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
