Default Re: Part Selection for Rebuild

maybe in todays world there is too much information out there? (and a lot of us don't know what to use out of it) KISS

if the car is used just for short runs and icecream i would do the minimum amount required. no need to build a bullet proof engine. especially if the car is running ok now.

maybe you can
-shim the bearings
-de-glace the cyls
-new rings
-lap the valves
-check and replace only stuff that needs replacing.
as far as machining always make sure the head and deck are flat and maybe magniflux the crank.
do a basic farm rebuild.

save you money for date night.
