One of my winter tasks is to build a stock 2.0 with my MicroSquirt fuel injection that I can install in my car and get it dyno tuned. That's been the missing piece of my MicroSquirt setup for the last few years.
Since there isn't much demand for a stock 2.0, I just plan on doing the minimum to build a solid motor. I plan on having the valves reground, cylinder surfaces machined and reringing the pistons. Regrinding the cam and rebuilding the rods and all new bearings as well. This should give me a motor that will last through the testing, and be worth something when I'm done to pass on to a new owner at a nice price. This thread does not represent my standard procedures for rebuilding engines. This is a special case and special circumstances. For those of you on a budget, but looking to refresh their motor should appreciate this writeup. Starting off with a core engine. The previous owner mentioned this engine had a 'knock', so I'll be on the lookout for what might have caused that. This is a 'GC' code engine with air injection ports in the heads.

So now that my quickie 2.0 rebuild is torn down, I'm left wondering how to proceed. This is not a bad core motor, because usually I toss the pistons/cylinders and cam/lifters. And the PO provided a set of good heads along with these. But the plan I laid out in the first post can't really work now. I need to think a bit about if I should seek out a set of decent used 2.0 pistons. If I should buy new ones. Or maybe bump it to 2056.
The whole point was to not really spend any money on this build because it's only purpose was supposed to allow me to tune a 100% stock engine on MicroSquirt. If I start changing things (cam grind/piston size) I can't really do that anymore. If anyone wants to commit to buying this engine after I'm done with it we can talk about making a deal. Just keep in mind I'm looking to build a stock 2.0 with no upgrades. |
