I took off a complete 7 bolt short block off a 95 eclipse gst I had a while ago, and recently a friend gave me a ported 1g head complete with cams, valves, etc.
Anyways here comes the good part. I took off the pistons and rods off the short block to see what shape they were in....everything looks good maybe 20k miles on them?
The 1g head is in good shape no bent valves or anything.
My questions are.......
- Is it a good idea to put new piston rings on those pistons? The pistons are in good shape just a little rust.
-What do i need to install that 1g head on my 7 bolt block (i have searched and asked different people but i've gotten different answers)
-This is my very first build/teardown so i really need help as far as what im going to need as far as gaskets etc. I know I need a complete gasket set for the front cover, head, etc.
I attatched pictures....any comments/opinions will really help.
Thanks guys!
AND THE HEAD IS JUST SITTING ON THE BLOCK ITS NOT BOLTED ON THERE YET, AS IS EVERYTHING ELSE. FRONT CASE AND ALL THE PULLEYS ARE NOT BOLTED ON YET BECAUSE I NEED TO BUY NEW GASKETS.
