Pelican Group Build: 2.2E
Lend a hand!
I think the first book we bought was Waynes engine rebuild book
who knew it would take 10 years to really use it!...;-)
The time has come on my sons 66 rebuild to get the engine going and that is where you come in. In my second post (I will update it as we go along), after reading through Waynes & Bruces books and a kazillion Pelican post, I have listed the hi-lights of a stock 2.2E rebuild with some moderate upgrades. Please fine tune it!! We are looking for any and all inspirational information, from inside tips to machine shops, in order to finish this phase of the project. I know a 2.2E in a 66 that is what it came with when I bought the car almost 20 years ago so we are going to build it back stock. The engine is completely torn down and a new set of Mahle 2.2E P&C's are on hand. Your insight will be greatly appreciated!! Best regards, Glenn & Cam |

2.2E Rebuild
Up grades: Turbo valve covers-YES Air baffle mod-YES 3.0 Oil pump?- NO, unnecessary Oil case squirters?-NO, those pistons were not intended to have that cooling oil jet Cylinder case-savers-YES, always in a mag case New rod bolts & hardware-YES Outsourced Machine/Rebuild work: Rods-Check of course, big ends likely OK, rebush small ends Crankshaft-Check, hopefully still std Engine Case-Check, but probably OK unless turkeyed or abused. Line bores are over prescribed on these cases Heads-described in your valve stiff below Cams-Send to Elgin for re-grind, along with rockers Oil Cooler-Clean MFI pump & hardware, injectors Case: Cylinder case-savers Raceware/Supertec cylinder head stud & hardware-Not needed, stock steel studs with biral cylinders are A-OK crankcase oil bypass modification-YES Intermediate shaft bearing upgrade?-NO, not needed for 2.2 case Check main bearing tang location?-???? Install piston squirters?-NO see above Check/re-plane cylinder spigots?--Same comments on case above Case resizing/plane & align bore?--same comments as on case above Rebore spigots?-NO Cleaning/media tumble?-NO, media should never touch a case, high pressure hot soap and water works wonders, as does patience and elbow grease Oil Pump: 3.0 liter oil pump? NO updated oil pressure relief pistons and springs.-Yes, required with bypass mod Pistons and Cylinders: complete- New Mahle 2.2E pistons, cylinders, pins, clips Balance-Sweet P/C's, Yes, have entire rotating mass balanced by good machinist Heads: Three angle grind-YES completely rebuilt, with all new valves, springs, and valve guides-YES cc and matched the same-Unlikely to be needed Camshaft:-Let a seriously good cam guy take care of all this stock E cam, inspect for in spec tolerances magnaflux polish harden Timing chain & tensioners: chain-replace-YES reuse solid tensioners?-NO, use factory tensioners Balance engine components:-YES crankshaft flywheel pressure plate pistons/pins rods Exhaust headers: complete by Jet-Hot-IF cost is no object cleaned, blasted ceramic coated Muffler:-YES media blast (ceramic coat/Jet-Hot or paint?) chrome tip- replace MFI:-YES test/adjust/rebuild as needed injectors- test/adjust/rebuild Fuel pump- complete, Zims front cross bar mount Connecting Rods: magnaflux check large end roundness pin bushing replacement replace rod bolt hardware Balance?

Thanks Dave...I know that took a lot of your time, and just what we were looking for!!
What is the norm procedure & finish for the timing chain housing, intermediate plate cover & valve covers? Thanks again for your input! Glenn |
Did 2.2Es not have squirters already?

The '70 case did NOT have the squirters, the '71 cases did HAVE the squirters. I have a '71 "T" and it NEVER got above 180 even in 110 degree South Texas heat without an external cooler. I WOULD do the squirters.
