XR64LT Donating Members 678 Member For: 17y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 06/02/12 09:08 AM Share Posted 06/02/12 09:08 AM Ok so im sure this has been answered many times before but just curious to know whats needed for a reliable engine rebuild. So I seen spool imports have a rebuild kit for $2195 which includes spool rods, cp forged pistons, head gasket, alc main bearings and alc big end bearings. From what I can gather I would also need a billet gear oil pump. Anything else im missing?

Will have a proper look on my computer. I guess ill only go as much as the standard turbo will go. Driving the car only once or twice a week I tend to just cruise, with some wot from time to time and I might even take it to sydney to see what it could do.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 11m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 07/02/12 04:04 PM Share Posted 07/02/12 04:04 PM Give 10k+ to a good engine builder, job done. Unless your after huge power or want it for drag racing etc it's not worth it IMO. Just get an F6 short and get ford to bolt it on.Will be reliable handle 400 if tuned well and will drive/sound the same as your current one.It's the labour part that gets ya the actual parts arnt that bad.
