Get it all at once, it feel more satisfying.

 

no i had the car running for over 1 in a half years ago. a couple months ago i just put the TVS on the car.

reason why we selling is we just don't want to keep putting money into the car cuz we recently wrecked the rear end of the car and now fixing that would just be too much so we just getting rid of everything.

 

so i need a list to start goin.. so far

weisco 10:1 pistons
eagle rods
valves?
valve springs?
neutral balence shafts?
cams?
wanna get this show on the road... found an 07 l61 with 60k on it for $650

 

I would suggest getting the crank balanced along with getting the head professionally built and machined if need to. Also make sure sleeves are honed correctly for the new pistons and rings. Get new bearings for the rods and crank and get everything hot tanked

 

yea i knew about balencing and machining.. whats hot tank?

 

Hot tank cleans all of the excess **** off of whatever you throw in. Cleans off carbon, oil, grease, residue and metal shavings so you start with a clean block

 

is it expensive?

 

I spent about.... 700 on machining and balancing and installing head components... In the long run, worth it

 

yea i know its worth it. ill be assembling the head at work seeing i work at dealer... just need to get a parts list of oem and after market parts so i can start getting things ... is there anything i should replace while its out to?

 

If you have the money, might as well do sleeves. Cams are debatable. As long as you have new rods, pistons, balance shafts, main bearings, rod bearings, you're good on the block side. I bought a new crank with my build also. Head-wise, valves, sprimgs, retainers, guides, seats and seals. Get new gasket sets, specifically front main seal, rear main seal, front cover, cometic head gasket, valve cover gasket. Lots of gray rtv. Assembly lube. Get arp head studs. new crank case bolts from CED and make sure you have a foot lbs torque and an inch lbs torque wrench handy. Buy a new timing set both Cams and balance shafts also

 

if i have the chance should i get the head P&P to?

 

if you have the chance and the money, i would if i were you. just remember, you're going to need a tune again for it.

 

alright guys i have decided to go against getting a spare engine and do what some have on here call a back yard build (leave the engine in the car). tried putting together a parts list tonight feel free to say if im missing stuff or what yopu suggest. thanks! also i may upgrade intake manifolds and injectors?

after market:

JE pistons
Eagle rods
ARP head studs
cometic head gasket
valve springs (undecided zzp or supertech?)


OEM:
chain tensioner
exauhst mani gasket
intake mani gasket
cam gear bolts (2)
balencer bolt
valve cover gasket
injector insulater (4)
rod bearings

 

you should really take bankerbalt's advice. its your build though, good luck.

 

I have almost a complete stock engine, check my sig and read my last post since some of the stuff is gone. LMK if you are interested, drive down to pick it up and I will make you a sweet deal.

 

if you were an 07 id take that head..

 

HEY if someone buys the short block would you buy my head?

 

would it work? im an 07 keep in mind

 

yes it will. take a pix of your head for me and i can tell you if it does or not. and the valve cover.

 

i will later on today man

 

 

so i have decided to the back yard build. i will be starting to buy stuff in the next week.

so far ill be getting:

JE pistons (stock commpression)
eagle rods
oem valves
valve seats
valve springs (im thinking zzp)
gasket P&P DIY
new fuel pump
return style fuel system
80's
TTR intake mani
upgraded tensioner

anything else i shoud get?

like water pump and such? car has 80k so anything that may fail soon i might as well do while im in there

 

Head gasket
Head studs
Timing chain
Rod bearings
Cam gear bolts
Crank pulley bolt

 

right on ill add to thee list. thanks

 

if this is what i think it is either dont do it or pay someone for that man. when you gasket match the head you dont just do a half inch in because u would see little to no gains, you take that pattern further in. Idk a lot about these heads but if you go deeper and hit a water jacket you are done.
