Nice Work Mark! Great achievement to say the least.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Going 2.2l with a touch more comp ratio. 9.5 or 10.0:1. I need to reach out to chat about one of the items of the build with you.

Hotness

Thanks, it's been a fun process.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Nice, join the goodness of 2.2L and 10 comp ratio :) I like where this is heading.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I started the engine project. I'm using a evo ix piston to mock up the engine so I can clearance the block. So I removed it from the rod. I found it comical when I compare the oem evo rod to the billet one.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Very nice.
Is that a pin I see for the bearing on the big end?
Excited to see some 2.2L goodness first hand

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Should be for oil, not a pin.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

The pin is to stop the bearing from spinning in an aluminum rod, which expands more than its steel counterpart. The bearing has a receiver hole that the pin fits in. They look nice!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thus the reason for needing your rod bearings drilled when running aluminum rods.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Super stoked! I clearanced my block today for the 94mm stroke 2.2 madness. With the huge r&r aluminum rods. No issues with the oil galley, that was the risk. Stay tuned for some boss shit on the way.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yep 100%. r&r drills your rod bearings for you for 40 bucks, worth it!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Damn, baller status!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Damn, I'd love to see this in person

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

X2, I need to see this build.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

IF you don't mind an audience, I'll bring the beer!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Do you port the oil passages in the block?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
