Fitting STEEL CONRODS & HIGH COMPRESSION PISTONS to a C20XE bottom end!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The parts have finally arrived for this ultimate fast road REDTOP Nova build. In this video I build the bottom end up with steel conrods, arp rod bolts and omega high compression pistons. This is going to be a very special car once done!

Great content. Didn’t realise how simple the bottom end of these engines are. I feel like buying one and rebuilding it. If only I had something to put it in .

Thanks pal! Gutted for you about that. Hopefully this one will be the one though 😊
Double check the torque on the con rod bolts. 25ftlb is for 5/16" bolts. Those con rods use 3/8" which should be torqued to 45ftlb.

Thank you, yeah I will do it in a future video. It won't be the next one though as it's already filmed 😉
Awesome video mate. Its gona be a cracking engine. I.v got an old c20xe in the shed. But unsure weather to go with that or a z20leh for mine.

Thank you, yeah really looking forward to hearing it! Both are great motors, but I would probably stick with an old school XE. Although turbo power is definitely addictive!
Hi Dan, Great video series. To minimise the risk of an oil leak....... is it ok to use a sealant instead of the lube, on the metal oil pump gasket?

Thanks, I can't see why not providing it's done sparingly.

Personal preference is the original is fine for the application. That's why I inspected it.
