Hello DSM community
I have just joined the group and am seeking some advice as to where I should go with the car, so I guess I'll give everyone the rundown. I've had the car for 4 years and daily drove it a majority of the years.
Love the car but unfortunately the water pump is shot and I'm working with the 4g64 motor where my water pump is ran by my timing chain. I'm debating just fixing the water pump but the car sits at 212k miles and is burning a serious amount of oil so while I'm replacing everything there and retiming it why not do internals? And if I'm doing all that why not do forged, boost the motor or stroke it etc.
What I seek here is guidance. Drop some build suggestions or website recommendations, Experiences building these motors. Anything helps guys, thank you.
