Bottom end kits

[dakota_97gsx]

I have been looking online and am having trouble finding a complete bottom end kit for my 97 gsx. I was wondering if anyone could guide me to any websites. Thanks

I like maperformance.com. They usually have the best prices without ridiculous shipping.

If you're not in a hurry and have a lot of patience you can find deals. I sourced all over and got

Hd wiseco stroker pistons for $200
Eagle rods $200
Eagle crank 6bolt 100mm crank $500
Race bearings $80
Mains $60
Everything brand new.

Took me almost 3 months to find them. I'm all about a good deal and map's prices are very reasonable.

Yea I'm not in a hurry. I'm new to all of this so I'm trying to do research first and find good deal. What all will I need to rebuild the bottom need? Pretty much everything you listen and gaskets? Or is there more needed? Thanks for the help

Most people get away with just polishing their crank. Unless it's really bad.

It also just depends on how much hp you plan on building. If you're not going to over 400hp I wouldn't bother going with forged internals. Unless you have a 7bolt.

As far as gaskets map has a complete cometic kit wth head gasket for 157 I think. If your doing the block I would redo all the gaskets as well.

Just be careful what you buy from eBay. make sure the seller is in US (for returning purposes.)

Always ask the seller a random question and see how much they know about their product.

Best of luck
