Hey all!
I have a d15b2/d16z6 mini with a fresh rebuild. Recently the flywheel came loose and sent a shock all the way through to the harmonic balancer. I immediately drove it home and pulled the engine.
The only damage I see is to the block by the oil pump (see pictures). I rotated the crankshaft with it assembled in the block and it seems to spin true, the girdle bolts were a little tighter (assuming the vibration through the crankshaft snugged those up).
So since I had to tear the motor out again I am turning it NA all motor and beefing up the bottom end. The search for a new block begins, I had h-beams and arp rod bolts already for the d15b2 motor (134.5 mm, not d15b7 137 mm) so I am searching for a block that will work. Will a d15b2 crankshaft sit in a d15b7 block and girdle or does it have different size journals?
Also looking for a high compression floating piston to run with my rods, any ideas?
