Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

OMGZ I had to changez my tamponzzzzzzzzzz..

So did bryce say why the HG blew? or are we just going to say blame the 2.4?
Ok, so turns out in an evo, 2.4s are a bit more work, but there seem to be plenty of people doing it right, turns out a bit more to keeping it together than just throwing it in the car and thinking it works.

I agree with GH, would love someone with more knowledge to come in and explain why a 2.4 doesn't work in an evo.

GH to be fair, people with almost every damn variation of these motors have had them go bad, so to make blanket statement like that makes a 2.4 seem not as attractive, but 2.0s go bad and 2.3s.
I mean you can't rev strokers too high or they will explode with that hideous rod ratio of theirs.
