haha

so who has thrown / broke a rod on a L26? haven't came across that yet.

Me, and about 4 of my friends.

also didn't know but the intake ports are 1.83 vs 1.80 on previous Series II heads.

And you still dont have a clue, INTAKE VALVES are slightly large, not ports/seats. Castings/seats are still the same.

Not really sure if you are even serious about the crap you are posting now, I am assuming you are trolling, so I am giving up.

3-4 I've seen so far that actually posted pics, few others then said they had the same thing happen.

$300 for a L26 tho, can't beat that even with its' possible flaws.

increased downward pressure.

more stress on rod.

rod is smaller.

more prone to snapping.

If you were building a n/a motor, sure, L26 rods would be ideal.

i still havent had a problem with the l26 blocks, im confident they are ok with proper tuning.

You need to be somewhat abusive, and make enough power for it to matter.

2 bar MAPs run on L36s just fine

who cares about map sensors? As far as I know we are all using factory ecu's that do not even use map sensors.

**tylerbinski** · 07-29-2011

lol you guys..

Yes I meant Intake valves.. the diameter of the valve 3/100's of an inch larger.. wooo.. it was a sarcastic comment..as if it makes a difference. not trolling by any means.

Ideally, I wish I didn't spin a rod bearing, but now.. I just want to drive my car and I've outsourced an L26 + turbo swap and sold my supercharger and intercooler..

It is what it is and I'll keep you folks posted

chipped piston cyl 1, also dented oil pan and carnage inside there, will wait for ty to come down before i pop it but it open at the oil pan, but it should be nice.

Oil pan was dented when i installed it

picked it up used the other pan was fubared.

Whats wrong with the roller chain?
I know i had to dremel the sprocket to get it to slide on.. might just be from my modifications..

Give me a ring and we'll decide the game plan.

Side topic: what are the biggest/strongest rods in the series II/III motor out of curiosity?

debatable between L67 / L32.

My debate leans twards L67 just because they are larger.
