I feel like with all the aftermarket tech and the diminishing B motors that people want $4500 for… you’re better off going k series. However, this comes from thought of savings, power and ease of build. Meaning, if you have to go B series because they are the best sounding motors ever or simply because you just want to. Do your thing!!! GSR is the most fun stock motor I’ve ever had. And were the door into the K series. 🤜🏻

I am pretty sure their engine didn't make good power because the cams were too small, it had a stock head, possibly the headers and exhaust were a wrong match and RWD drivetrains eat about 5-10% more power on the dyno than FWD. That being said, I don't think making maximum streetable power was their goal, it was more about reaching 10k rpm. The build and parts selection were solid.

This thing runs amazing with only using 30*, but can I use more safely? Can valve to Piston clearance be checked with a bore scope?

With a stock bottom end, I would not take it past 8k. If you do track days, 7800 is a good limit. The rod bolts can break. Excellent head choice BTW. We rev VTC engines to 9k plus a little. You probably can check piston-to-valve and valve-to-valve clearance with a borescope. We use clay. You need to lock the VTC in the max advanced position when doing this. The good thing about running a 4P combo is they probably can tell you whats safe because they engineered the combo, if you mix and match parts, that's when you need to check clearances yourself.

Although I kinda regret going with stock compression of 11.1 because some cars come fron factory with 12.1 or even 13.1 and so many people are running high compression with no problems. He was saying to make it work you need to bring timing back and that car hurt power I don't know how much is true but on bright side of I wanted to turbo or supercharge it's better I stuck with stock compression. Last question since my engine has been decked 2 times meaning rebuilt twice and im running flat valves how much more compression you think im getting ? Maybe 11.5?

Your tuner is 100% correct. Those cars with high compression stock are all DI, that's how they can get away with it. If you are actually building your engine you will measure your CC's and your gasket volume and calculate your true compression ratio and order your pistons accordingly.

you mentioned that this is a street/track day engine. A lot of the details you went into mentioned stuff like cryo/wpc/shotpeen/whatever other treatment helps the stuff last long and you don't have to replace it every season but maybe every other season. obviously nobody is expecting a 2.4 liter engine belting out over 300hp to last as long as an oem engine, but what are you expecting out of it? whats maintenance look like on an engine like this? are we talking an annual disassembly and inspection and replace whats needed kinda thing? if yes, is it a full engine rebuild? or are you looking at a few specific areas? and if yes, how many miles are you thinking for this? cause annually can be like 2k miles for some people and like 15k for others. If its not an annual thing, how long do you expect it to last without opening it up? What kind of maintenance other than oil chances should I expect to do? I'm assuming valve lash adjustment should happen a lot more often? How often? I've been doing a bit more in depth research on built K20/24's as I'm getting ready to do one prolly early next year. the biggest thing I can't nail down is any cams bigger than OEM and timing chain tensioners. Some people say any non-OEM cam will kill a stock tensioner within days. An upgraded one like InlinePro or K-Tuned is a bit better but still goes fast. And when it goes it likely takes the engine with it. Then others say an upgraded tensioner solves the problem and its no longer an issue. Others still say its not the tensioner but the oil pump chain setup and upgrading to Drag Cartel's lower chain guide solves the problem. Can you chime in on this? What do you do the the chain tensioner? Anything for the oil pump chain? Keyed crank timing gear?

I feel that a forged piston engine wears out faster than a modern stock engine and is good for about 100k miles. Your mileage can vary due to your driving habits. I recommend 3k mile oil change intervals on the street and 1-2k intervals if running E85. If racing I usually change the oil every event. We use all Drag Cartel stuff for the chain, tensioner and guides.

@@motoiq oh wow, 100k? you're expecting an engine like the one in this video (and previous bottom end vid) to last that long with just oil changes as maintenance? no need to open it up to inspect stuff like valve springs or retainers or etc periodically? Honestly I thought I was day dreaming hoping for it to have a 50k service life, 100k sounds amazing! edit: how many track days are you assuming with this? something like 10-20 track days a year reasonable?

It's hard to say exactly. If you are a pro driver with a set up chassis that drives the car to every bit, the engine will probably need to be refreshed after 10-20 track days. If you are not, it could last for years.

@@motoiq what exactly does "refresh" mean? which parts am I looking at and potentially replacing? Is it a full disassembly and inspection, replace what needs replacing, and reassemble? or just partial disassembly and look at a few certain parts?

Can you forward this video to Ben at Gears and Gasoline, lol. He seems to think a stock head with drop-in cams designed for 8,000rpm will be enough to make power until 10,000rpm! 🙂

I think his goal was to reach 10k rpm not necessarily make the most power.

I wonder if a ceramic coating like what Swain Tech offers could compliment the cryo and WPC in extending spring life. It's supposed to hold onto oil to help control temps like you were mentioning. Thinking about it the surface finish created by WPC might already do that about as well as an oleophilic compound and is why they're staying cooler and living better. Thank you for the great camshaft info! I'd never heard of an inverted flank! Heck i never even considered that profiles would have to be different between cam on bucket and all the follower systems. I've got some research to do!

Swains ceramic coating doesnt flex well and would flake off and also hold heat in. Swains black body radiation coating might be a better choice. The trouble is coatings don't stick to WPC treated surfaces very well.

@@motoiq no, just basic rods and pistons LS stuff. I have no need for a "serious" engine but I do enjoy learning about them from your channel. I especially liked your 650hp LS build, that one was really incredible. I also have a 3sgte getting rods and pistons currently but it's just for street fun, nothing serious. I'm sure 5k for 30-40hp is a good value for a race team, I meant no disrespect.
