I have realized that when it comes to buying datto spares you generate money out of thin air if the price is right. And the forgivenes thing so so true!

Jis dudes dit lyk my my 4 deur sedan raak n 2 deur! Ek sal julle laat weet teen volgende week. Behalwe dit kry ek ook n nice speelding waarmee ek sal ali kan weld!!! Eks moerse happy da oor

Jis dudes my w53 head gaan seker die naweek weg vir die port job. Ek sal ook seker vroeg volgende week n stel VG30 pistons he om saam met my mooier as mooi rods te gaan. Behalwe dis is dit net die crap job van body werk!

Jis dudes! Ek het gister in n 1200 sedan gery met n 140kw L20 in. Ek kon voel die ding trek nogal mar die drywer het bietjie ordentlik gery da was net 1 keer wat ek nou regtig kon voel dat dit kan fun raak. Onder so 3500rpm gaan da nie so baie aan nie mar van da af gebeur dinge. Hy het teen so net onder 8 geshift. So ja my naweek was lekker.

Clive as a matter of safty you can use any good metal to metal sealant, coper tack, yamaha bond, hylomar and so on. But there is nothing wrong with a coper gasket.

I didnt change anyting regarding stroke the piston sits and move the same lenth. As for L 24 I think thats the same lenth as L16

Vg30 piston isnt as heavy and you get them in a hi comp over the counter. With using a vg piston I needed a longer rod L series rod is around 146mm and I need 152mm. In doing it this way the rod ratio is also a bit better than standard L 20 thus running hi rpm becomes a bit safer.

Little wide on the small end but narrow on the big end

As you guys know I have a L20b in my datto, but we wanted more power and I started by getting all the parts for the head I got stuck when it came to the sub. I wanted to fit VG30 Piston but for that I needed a conrod of about 151mm to about 152mm. I found them at 1st I wanted to keep it a secret but thats not what the datto forum is about. So I got my hands on a set of Childs Albert 6inch alloy rod from a 327cui chevy and they will do the job with only minor mods. Rated at over a thousend hp with a V8 piston on them I cant see my datto ever breaking those. Hope this info helps as I have searched the net and this seems to be a first for this combo. Thanx

Ok guys I was at one of cape towns better tuners. I know he does the tuning on one of south africas fastes 140z fitted with a L20b with a z22 crank and so on. The car made 158kw but after dailing in the cam to that puuurfect spot its making a mind blowing 174kw! So yes my L will have one as we are running the same cams.
