if i rebuild theres no guarantee that i CAN rebuild, if the cylinder is fed....

Our cylinders are sleeved so it is just the matter of resleeving?

but then they have to pull the block out of the car and labor to resleeve etc.

has anyone been running the diamond pistons for a while and not having any issues? i know that they have made them for years for other cars but i was just curious about ours.

Part of the labour problem is paying dealership rates.

I have been running them for about 2 months now. So far so good. Others have been even longer.

im not doing it through the dealership but a pro shop, they charge 5 bucks less an hour but i trust them. i also heard since my piston or ringland is fed it could have spun valve or 2 would the compression test have told this?

and who sells the 2.0 cometic head gasket?

where did you get ur pistons from?

I got my pistons from Intense, only because they had them in stock and I wanted them next day to finish the car. I also got the headgasket from them, but CobaltPerformanceParts and Dezod sell them too. Just make sure it is the 2.0 gasket and not the 2.2 one that some sites try to sell off.

i need the head studs right? not the main studs...?

well im estimating 3500 with an almost new motor and installations or 3600 with mine rebuilt with new pistons, headstuds, and headgasket....

but thats not including if the block needs to be re-sleeved.

would a used drop in be better than a rebuilt?

what compression pistons is everyone getting?
