i didn't mean to capitalize the letters, dunno why I did , anywho the score has been settled and when it comes down to it... I blew my motor thats all. I replaced it and then F'd it up again... so I fixed it and now its running again My focus will now go to rebuilding SVX autos and rebuilding my engine to handle more boost with the cams and pistons LAN is cooking up. I will also go to eagle rods (Sti rods) and clevite bearings. Not sure if I should bother to sleave the motor as it seems relatively stout and it would def add a lot to the cost

Tom,
LOL, looked like you had mates conspiring on a destructive test program. Sorry you were all on your own to sweep up the pieces.

When I build a car... I do it all on my own. When I put all the pieces together... I will be the only one expected to pick those pieces up when the shatter...LAN did help me out with the newest software and even hardware for alt. and everything and I hold nothing against him and I will keep working with him on new developements

No offense Bill, but i don't think I am gonna waste my time or money on Sti rods... Going straight to Eagle rods Hopefully the sale of my new pearly with a 5mt in it already will clear me for my build

Good choice. Same here. I ocassionally think about doing the cad for inserts to close deck the block but I haven't really delved into it yet. Think I should?

I have heard closing the deck can cause coolant issues more so than sleeving it. I would like to find a good suby machine shop that has a lot of experience doing EJ motors if I were to get it done

I'm not sure about that. Close decking you are just welding a piece of heavy sheet metal at the outer edges of the block with holes to match the holes in the heads so the wajer jackets are unaffected.
I'm not convinced I want to do it. I just consider it every once in a while. Quote:

I know that is what consists of closing the deck. I have just heard things...

Tom, Understood. Can you post a pic of the Eagle rods? I'm curious as to how they differ from the STi rods. Are they dowelled? Weight? -Bill

Mike, I am having a hard time finding a source for Eagle Sti rods... they only have ej20t rods...

I believe the 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 rods are the right rods

Detonation.
Tom are going to pull the rods? It would be worth seeing what the upper half of the big end shell looks like. It will show how heavy the detonation was, before the rings and lands gave away.
It would be good to see how much detonation the pistons can stand. Harvey.
