Re: Type S internals question
IMO no, just get stiffer valve springs
maybe adjustable cam gears Quote:

Re: Type S internals question
Well I heard that the A1 heads have a problem with the retainers smashing into the valve seals or something, and the rocker pads getting worn quickly, or something like that.

Re: Type S internals question
Type s pistons can go in without any other modification. Type s cams are a good idea to do with stiffer springs and retainers, but this is on an a4 block, and its pro lay the same for an a1 but I don't know for sure. I don't know which bottom end you have but you can find it stamped on your block next to your slave cylinder if you have a manual tranny. If your in the US chances are you have the a4. And if you want a good deal on type S pistons check the link in my sig!

Re: Type S internals question
My block is the original H22A1 that came in the car off the factory floor, but the head in my trunk is of unknown origin, lol. I'd like to pick those pistons up, but I don't think my motor needs to be bored, and there's no shop within reasonable distance that I think would be competent with an H22's sleeves.

Re: Type S internals question
standard size pistons arent that expensive...

Re: Type S internals question
Yeah, but I'm not trying to go crazy with this thing, lol. I'd drop at least another grand on turbo parts before getting to use it... All I want is to bring my H back to it's original glory, with a little more pep in it's step.

Re: Type S internals question
A friend of mine built an H22 about a year ago, and the shop where I had my KA24DE head done honed his block. He had to buy the guy the stones and give him the procedure, but he did it. I was told, "Fair warning he isn't gonna want to do the work lol he said it was a pain in the ass"... so I'm not looking forward to this. On the plus side, I found a guy about 2 hours away who has two bare blocks laying around. He said he'd trade me one for a copy of NBA 2k13 for PS3, LOL.

Re: Type S internals question
New Orleans is bound to have a porsche repair shop. Usually cities where mega wealthy people live have one.

Re: Type S internals question
There are a couple of places, yes, but I fear how much they're going to want just to hone the cylinder and clearance the pistons.

Re: Type S internals question
people change pistons rings/pistons succesfully without honing also

Re: Type S internals question
Yes, but I'm not going to order standard size pistons, install them, then come to find out that my bore is out of spec once I check clearances. And at 229k miles, I'm fairly sure the bore has a lot of wear. If the motor only had 100k, I'd have no problem ordering pistons ahead of time though.

Re: Type S internals question
Uh, what the hell do you do when your bore is out of spec even for oversized pistons?

Re: Type S internals question
Also, does anyone know how to identify Type S cams? I have a set that came with the head I picked up, but they look a bit funny. They're not shiny like my current cams, but rather a dark black color, like the blue finish of a gun. They also both have the letter "G" cast on them. As for their origin, the guy I got the head from didn't know, as the head came in a dufflebag with his car. They're very strange. Maybe I've got something good here, and don't even know it. Here are my stock cams, for reference. Notice how the back of the lobes are nice and bright, whereas these mystery cams are a black finish. I"ll get pics of the mystery cams this evening

Re: Type S internals question
Also, I've never had my.head apart... This questionable one has dual valve springs... Is that standard on all h22s?

Re: Type S internals question
Nobody that I know of makes FRM friendly pistons over .25mm oversize. That's the limit you can bore the cylinder as well. I guess if the bore is worn even further, the block is junk without being sleeved.

type r/type s/sir and 99-01 h22s have stiffer valve springs than other h22s
