There are ways of building on a budget when you can do most of the labour yourself.

I have found the part no.s for the 4agze pistons only problem is there appears to be 4 different ones mk1-3 and 0.5 overised.

can anyone thats dont the conversion pin point waht ones i need please !!

The cost of gaskets, studs etc in my eyes means instantly no rebuild is budget. Just hope my RB20 lasts long enough for me to get all the parts together over a long enough time frame that i dont realise the large expense that is a built motor

From memory when I looked at using the 4agze pistons the math said they would sit 4mm shy of the deck.

the early ze pistons were 8:1 and the latest ones (ae101 ze) were 8.9:1.

If you look on club4ag.com forums you should be able to find out all the specs on piston heights etc

If you fit the RB25 crank and rods, and use 82mm forged RB20 pistons won't the extra stoke cause the pistons to run proud of the deck, (block) ??

Maybe this is why the 4AGZE pistons are the preferred option??

Sorry to bring this back again but im almost there with the build, the block is at the engineers being rebored to the 4agze 81.5mm pistons :ninja:

I am now struggling to find the right headgasket how do i know what thickness and where do i get an oversized one from ???

Any help greatly appreciated :)

Tomei etc make the headgaskets in bore sizes up to 83mm and various thicknesses. I have 82mm Tomei pistons and they do the associated head gasket for it. I cant help you out with thickness as i am going a different route with the head so mine will be different

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
