Stephens 2.4L evo 9 build
Yeah I miss read the paper. That 6th ring that came with te prisons was a spacer for the oil rings that went on the bottom of the oil Expanders. And I know about the gaps I have everything perfect now! Thanks for the help
I would say this build turned out very successful.
1. the car burns all but no oil.
2. the car has no blowby.. he never had his dipstick budge yet. still on stock ventilation setup.
3. the car got 300 miles to a tank going from pa to ohio.
4. the car trapped 127 on mild power on stock cams, stock intake/tb, and fp black.
The car now has i believe 8000 miles or more on it.
below is some info on what the car done so far:
MPG on e85 tune: (interstate driving)



------------------------------------------------------------------
and heres a race between my 2 customers Will & Steve. Steve bogged launch, Will out drove steve entire time, but Steves car is on e85 Will's on 93.. plus wills not 100% dialed in.. so not fair lol. (both cars on stock ecu and speed density)



and heres the video Steve made himself:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
heres the timeslips (the one on the right he missed 5th gear):


So for the very first engine i ever put together from bare block on up, id say i did pretty good.. this thing is a very strong engine. so feel free to use the clearances i used when assembling this engine because they work.. just dont try to break the engine in fast.. do it slow since the tolerances are alittle tighter.

Now I see that you also experimented that nightmare!!! Jejejejeje!!!

more track results for this car.. we are installing GSC S3 tomorrow in it and will be back to trap even higher and most likely dip into the 10's.

Heres some footage of his runs:
Heres all of his runs combined:


His cars very strong for being stock cams, stock intake mani, stock ported exhaust mani, etc..
engine has what maybe 12k on it now? this cars daily driven.. and runs like a top.. i am very happy with the results of this car considering
its the first shortblock ive ever assembled.
