Motor is completely apart, just needs to be cleaned....
This is what I have for it so far: ARP "thru-case studs" ARP "head stud kit" (both above item bought from LN Engineering) I also have a new Shadrek(sp??) Type 1 oil pump for it. I know I have to do a few mods to the case for the oil pump, but other than that, what needs to be done. I'm on a strict budget now, so I have to weed thru the wants and needs and pick the more suitible item now. Motor specs: stock bore and stroke (2.0) Flat top pistons (wiating for heads to figure out the compression, but I want in the low 9's) stock 2.0 heads, but I will clean up the ports a little (exhaust ports ceramic coated) FK-10 cam (pretty aggressive cam, but motor will be Megasquirted, so that should be okay) Eurorace Headers (not decided on muffler yet, street car, I don't want it too loud) |

Not to open another thread, but why did you get ARP hardware? The stock studs and through bolts are not stretch to yield and can be re-used. With a fairly stock motor, this is an expense not required.
That said, we had issues with shuffle on our center main bearing. We heard that shuffle pinning really doesn't help this so we took a different tack. We machined out the center two through bolt channels and fit a drill rod through there. This allowed us the benefit of a shuffle pin-type setup along with the ability to add a few more punds of clamping pressure where we need it. Brad has seen this, you can ask for his comments.... You need to mate the oil pressure pistons with the high volume oil pump and "match" the oil passageways and taper them. Also, once teh case halves are put together, hone the surface the pump will mate to (the studs need to be removed.. Make sure your cylinder mating surfaces are flat... Check the line bore.... You could add piston squirters... That's about it.....anyone else? chris |
