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) |

thanks anthony.. the more i stand there and look at it, the more i want to just leave it as is. i have driven the car ONCE!!!! since i got it almost a year ago.. and it did run! good? i dont know, didnt have much experience at the time to know good from bad...
i might consider just putting it all back together with good gaskets and everything.. id still like to change the pushrod tube seals while i have it out of the car... the reason i dropped the engine was due to severe hell hole trouble which is in the process of being fixed as well. i hear ya on the "getting expensive real quick".. its nowhere near my budget to spend that kind of money right now.. (poor college kid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)) ive got the tin sent out for powdercoating and was thinkin of getting the valve covers pd'ed as well... and after reading all this.. i might just start reassembly with a good gasket kit and new hoses/lines she didnt leak oil or have any trouble with idle or anything the few times i started her and the one time i drove it, it ran fine to me (sloppy shifting but thats a different story (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) if you were me (and i value ya'lls opinion more than you know), what would ya'll do? i know ill be spending some bucks on welding work for floorpans and hell hole so maybe just get the engine spruced up with "daily maintenance" type stuff for now and get her back on the road? |
