I recently picked up a 96 talon with a 6 bolt, eagle rods, ross pistons a 50 trim and all the supporting mods. The timing belt tensioner failed, causing the valves to all be bent and apparently bending the rods too. The pistons all had oil and metal shavings on top of them when the head was pulled off.
i figure now that the engine is apart I can add some of the good stuff. I want to install all the goodies needed to run at 8500 rpm. I was thinking of going with manley or crower springs and valves, 3g lifters, along with crower stage 2 cams and unorthodox cam gears. Ill have to re-ring the pistons also, any idea where I can get a quality set of rings?
Ill be replacing all the belts with brand new OEM. If the rods and pistons are ok (ill be taking the bottom end out soon) ill keep those of course. Anything else I might be missing? Im going to have the head redone also of course. Thanks in advance
