HOW TO: RAZOR BLADE REBUILD 2.2L TURBO HEADS. DIY VALVE JOB, DIY INJECTOR FLOW TESTING & CAM OILING

DIY CAR FARMER VALVE JOB! 2.2L TURBO CYLINDER HEAD MODS. DODGE OMNI GLHS BUILD PART 2-HEAD, CAM AND TURBO INSTALL. GLHS SWAPPING A GLH T OMNI. 175-HP T2 TURBO MOTOR TO REPLACE THE 146-HP T1! CAN YOU REALLY DO A QUICKIE VALVE JOB WITH A DRILL AND LAPPING COMPOUND? CAN YOU REALLY TEST TO SEE IF INJECTORS WORK WITH THEM STILL IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD? THE CAR FARMERS AND I ALSO DEMONSTRATED HOW THE 782 HEAD OILS THE SLIDER CAM IN THE TURBO MOTOR! LOTS OF GREAT STUFF HERE IN PART 2 OF THE OMNI GLHS BUILD UP.

The injector tester was a great idea! Also a shout out to the Engineer the designed the cam oiler! More cars need this!!

[@95Sn95]

I freshened up a set of heads and I scraped and build up off them and set my kid (12ish at the time) up with the s/s valves a drill press and bunch of scotch Brite grits showed him what to do he sat there zoned in for hours with those valves a spinning and they were sparkling when he was done, and he was proud as hell to see those shiney valves all done.

[@willsmith8586]

There was a guy in Oklahoma that used to run 10s in dodge and Chrysler minivans running those little turbo motors.

[@speedmullen]

I've never seen a wire wheel that worn down! Might want to rebuilt that next! ;-)

[@richardholdener1727]

IT DID NEED A BIG WHEEL

[@ericwilson2585]

I rebuilt the turbo myself on my old T1 back when I was in my 20's. I got a rebuild kit for it and it looked like they just spray welded the worn-down spot on the impeller shaft and then just turned it back down on a lathe. It worked, I never had any trouble with it after that.

[@shannonsisk]

Drill press valve spring tool is GENIUS

[@richardholdener1727]

AGREED

[@joshjohnson3005]

Richard, I have a request. I’m aware you’re not a diesel guy, however this is a diesel request. What I would love to see and I’d imagine you could garner some new viewers out of it, is a simple p pump 5.9 basic comparison on a mostly stock engine. 1-Compound turbo 2-Twin charged (super charger over turbo) 3-super charged Banks just came out with a twin charged crate motor and some others have done it over the years but the twin charged diesel never took off except in heavy commercial engines. Dyno numbers are impossible to find too. Anyhow consider it🤷‍♂️ Thanks!

[@richardholdener1727]

won't run a diesel on the engine dyno

[@stompinmcallister1312]

1992 Dodge Daytona iroc Shelby turbo stock would do 135 mph . Back in the day sure do miss that car.

[@Bbbbad724]

I wish I had had one back when we had our Plymouth Horizon, an 85 model that had a 1.6L Peugeot that made all of 65 hp with a 4 speed 1:1 manual trans. With a progressive 2V like a Pinto. The 2.2 would have been a rocket!

[@jonmortensen9990]

I've done similar on the valve lapping, but I use fuel hose and clamps. Clamping the hose to a drill bit and to the valve stem allows you to pull on the drill motor while pushing on the valve head and not have to worry about slipping, probably saves ~37.3 seconds per valve.

[@gofastparts4u]

Looks great Richard! What happened to the head David Vizard was doing for you?

[@richardholdener1727]

DON'T HAVE IT YET

[@JC-gw3yo]

intake and exhaust manifolds on the same side, don't impress me.. I however drove a little 2.2 Daytona, and it was a fun car

[@michaelgayford2439]

I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Richard Holdener doing a 2.2 turbo!!!

[@richardholdener1727]

cuz turbo

[@xnotx2]

Richard "Razor Blade" Holdener 👍

[@richardholdener1727]

WOULD BE A COOL NICKNAME

[@TheProchargedmopar]

👍💪

[@steveright1937]

When I would hand lap valves I would reassemble them and put the head on its side then pour rubbing alcohol into the ports and see if it leaks past the valves .

[@richardholdener1727]

WE CHECK THEM WITH WATER OR GAS OR WHATEVER WE HAVE HANDY

[@zfreak2808]

I like this series. keep it up. Would like to see custom exhaust manifold made. Having the manifold outlet that close to the intake CANNOT be good. Add a few inches of length to each primary and wrap them in header wrap. I guarantee you will see higher horsepower numbers.

[@michaelmurtorff5428]

Lmao dudes have made over 500 whp with ported stock manifolds 😭😆

[@bigassfordsd]

it might, but installed in the car, it might not fit. They are already pretty close to the firewall

[@jvmopar]

782 head was used on all later 2.2/2.5l Always check for cracks coming from the valve seats going towards the spark plug side of the chamber. Always check for dropping valve guides.

[@richardholdener1727]

DROPPING GUIDES? DO YOU MEAN SEATS?

[@andydhillon1977]

Pretty cool! What was wrong with the engine that prevented it from spinning? The guy taking the head off made me cringe! Too rough!!

[@roberthandy9420]

Wanted to see it run 🏃 lol

[@fascistpedant758]

I'd say don't forget the screw that holds the turbo oil feed bracket at the end of the head, but I guess you'd know by now.

[@richardholdener1727]

WE GOOD

[@tylercumberland7555]

Richard have you done the mustang 3.7. If not try it out it will surprise you.

[@richardholdener1727]

HAVE NOT

[@marklucas3140]

I'd like to see some sort of disclaimer discouraging people with little to no experience with it from free hand drilling with small diameter drills into high silica cylinder heads with unpredictable core locations and wall surface quality. I just don't want anyone to bust three drills off in their head in ten minutes, and lose their mind, or come back here yelling at you about it. Brian's probably been doing this for 25 to 30 years. I've actually had three heads that were cracked from the triangle ports into the cross hole.

[@richardholdener1727]

you worry too much

[@marklucas3140]

People say I care too much about others. Lack of care is why our world is so screwed.

[@tkmad7470]

I would swap the #2 injector lead with #4. It matches the 4 cylinder firing order a little better. I know it's a batch injection, but my cars seemed to run better when I wired them up that way.

[@mikasantos3774]

What generation 2.2 L have the Garrett Turbo with the three bolt flange on the compressor side that led up to the air filter housing and is the turbo that Richard using right now on his is it a bigger version than the Garrett turbo I am speaking of

[@MrZX1206]

Early T1 had a Garrett like that

[@richardholdener1727]

T1 DRAW THROUGH

[@jamesmartin-lb6br]

I want to see what this can do on the dyno at 25 psi.

[@richardholdener1727]

MAYBE ON THE 2.5L

[@jamesmartin-lb6br]

@@richardholdener1727 I'm a ford 2.3 sohc turbo guy (Thunderbird Turbocoupe). It would be great to see these two engines go head to head on the dyno with the boost turned up and inter cooled.

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

Where's the project with David Vizard stand, ,,, ?

[@richardholdener1727]

UNKNOWN

[@Obshowersyndicate]

What about a honda 2.4 turbo

[@richardholdener1727]

THAT SWAP WOULD BE AWESOME

[@gonzaloarvizu5285]

First

[@85Stang331]

The G head and 782 use to crack between the seats but never seemed to cause any issues. Any issues with guides as in side to side play? This link was my 86 turbo z I restored for my dad sadly we had to sell it after 20years do to him having a stroke kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6bg4mKdr9qhMk

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Personally I blame squirrels
