"Can't understand this obsession with long stroke motors, Nissan made a lovely short stroke unit with superb rod ratios, then folks want to turn it into a slow revving, shakey old lump like the Toyota 2JZ-GTE twin turbo lump. 2.5 rules."

The very fast examples of a make and model is the yard stick in any argument. Some are convinced in its total superiority instantly and in this case anything else, like the awesome 2JZ becomes rubbish.

Mario develops a very high revving 1300 hp engine and it's used in all sorts of arguments. Have a look in the 'Tomei RB28 stroker' thread.

I remember distinctly, a few years ago, HKS cam gears were the most popular in the market. Everryone wanted them. One day, Mario made a comment about how the HKS cam gears were not suited to his high load, high rpm engine. From that moment on it was quite common to read people rubbishing the HKS cam gears. Some people wanted to sell theirs and replace them.

I quite like a short stroke motor - they rev nicely. A square motor is fine too, they also rev pretty well. It's just long stroke engines that I really don't like. e.g. the Falcon 4L.

Calling the 2JZ a bad engine because it's got a longer stroke is taking it a little far though.

Just did 2x 9 hour flights on BA 747's full of Poms. Im off travelling to England 4EVER, but Scotland Wales and Ireland are on the cards.

A short stroke engine will make revs, at the expense of torque and VV but it depends upon your application.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
