with the amount of work required to fill in
the sohc ca20e chambers i might as well just
durafix fill the ports to at least improve
angles and shape and make a tap for the inlet
spark-plug and clean up the bump.
Unless I can get a 4 spark head from O/S

the eight-plug heads (NAPS-X) got 46 mpg in the T11 Stanza. Wouldn't you want this most-efficent version?

The rwd transmissions are $81 here.

Fit a CA to the car first then muck around. There is a probably a lot more than just engine mounts to deal with.

DD is that a 63 series CA box?
46mpg is very appealing!

CA20E compared to NAPS-Z Z20E is narrower, shorter, 77 lbs (35kg) lighter!

Here is what Im going to use to re-shape the ports

400aud for a full knife edged ca18de/t crank is a good deal
anyone going and coming back from England? :)

Quote:
All cranks have counterweights which are generally very slab sided. this causes a slowing effect when they are forced through all the oil and gases in the sump at high engine revs. To alleviate this restriction we sharpen the edges of the counterweights to a virtual knife-edge. which allows a much easier passage through the sump at high revs. This makes the engine much smoother and dynamic increasing rev-ability and engine longevity. The front pulley and clutch cover are also part of the rotating assembly with the crank. when these are balanced they spin much more truly giving a smoother engine. An out of balance engine shortens life expectancy and gives a harsh feeling when revving hard. If the donor crankshaft needs grinding then this is charged as an extra amount on top of the price shown. This product is exchange. Email Friend Price: £254.47

Block choice of CA16 would be lighter weight wouldn't it? Then bore it out to take CA18 pistons.

Yes I thought the same but the ca16 has more meat in
the bore walls to be taken out to ca18 specs.
I didnt get the photo posted it didnt work here goes again
the idea is to fit the ca16de block with either bigger bores
or offset sleeved for z22 or other 87mm pistons.
Either 1809cc or extra 1988cc with stock stroke.

Also can anyone help me with tensioner info?
Im going from the twin cam to sohc
det block, ca20e head
is the green circle below all I need for the sohc conversion?
It has a tap or part of a bolt in it, I will have to tap out.
