Starlet__SR Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Steel rods, forged pistons, new main bearings, maybe a set of cruise valve springs if you fancy it.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT Phayer Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 is that all that is needed ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The basics yeah, but if you're going forged, i'd advise giving the whole engine a once over, freshen it all up, it pays to do things the right way.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
