so i have a dumb question.. i have my engine torn down to the heads and case and was my cylinders (i think) are kinda rusty (the little fins on it)
if i wanted to get a new cylinder/piston kit yada yada... can i get a "big bore" 96mm kit? I didn't know if going with the big kit would require any modifying of the heads or case or something.. or if it would "bolt up" just like the stock parts. pardon the noobness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Ok, I want to ask the million dollar question. Why were you going to just replace pistons and rings?
Most likely, heads are cracked and need to be rebuilt. If you are going with a hotter cam you ideally need to upgrade the valve train on the heads to handle it. You also need to look at the bottom end. Check case alignment, polish crank, rods, new bearings, etc. It's a never ending scenario until you arrive at a complete rebuild. And after you've built a higher performance engine, you need to look at a higher performance fuel delivery system or at minimum getting D-Jet tweaked. This is how the $300 project turns into a $3000 project. :-) |
