5s Doner Block
"If I'm going to all this trouble, why not go a bit bigger?" was my thought.
So I grabbed a junk yard 2.2L 5s block from a 2000 Camry.
That's a 10% displacement increase over the stock 2.0L 3s, plus it's the later model 5s, so it's a bit stronger than the earlier 5s.
Anyway, as you can see, this thing is a bit, umm, weathered.
So I gave it some angle grinder and wire wheel love, and it's looking much better.
I also sprayed some PB Blaster down the cylinder walls, to help free the corroded pistons before I start removing the guts.
I still need to find a trustworthy local machine shop for the overboring.
Stay tuned....
