Subject: Re: Dreaming of a new engine by JeffK on 2011/5/14 17:51:43 I emailed him and asked him to go over what products he is going to use and what work is being done to the block... here's his response. Jeff, I will be using Mahle Hyper flat top pistons standard comp. ratio, Perfect Circle moly piston rings, Durabond cam bearings, brass freeze plugs, Clevite 77 rod and main bearings, standard Melling oil pump or High volume high pressure Melling pump for additional charge, Melling standard timing chain set or double roller set at additional charge and all gaskets and seals are Felpro. I only use good brand name parts it is not worth it to me to use the cheaper stuff, you get what you pay for. The block has been completely stripped and hot tanked it will then be bored to the piston specs, deck will be left at standard 9.025 deck so compression ratio will remain the same as stock. Are there any other questions I should be asking? I don't think that I am going to do the high volume oil pump, I've read nothing good about them. Not sure about the timing set though. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeff |
