Its time for a rebuild... HELP

[BGRIPTP]

Ok, my 1995 Eclipse GS with 150,000 miles has what seems to be "rod knock"...

I am going to rebuild it, using this kit: http://www.howellautomotive.com/How...ct_info.php?cPath=142_38_174&products_id=1207

Now what else should I buy? Will anything else be messed up from the rod knock that I would need to get fixxed thats not included in that kit? I am just trying to fix the GS so I can sell it for something turbo and AWD. This is going to be my first rebuild on a DOHC inline 4, but im hoping its going to be somewhat as easy as the 5.0's and 3.8's I rebuilt in school.

Also, what is a good book to get to follow the rebuild with?

Thanks, Ben

I dont know much about rod knock in 2g engines so I cant help you out much there... I suspect you might need some micelanious gaskets, etc...

As far as a book, the Chitons Manual is great, and has pictures of a dissasembly of the 420a. You can pick one up at your local car store fairly easily. Hope this helps some.

Does it cover both 4g63 and 420a? Or just the 420a?

Both, but the pictures included are for a 420a. They just have instructions and diagrams for the 4G63.

since you have a 95, you have to get a different set of main bearings, made for a 95 block. also since you have rod knock, might have to get the crank machined if you scored the crank.

Ok, thanks guys. I may put this off again tho, I found a 1991 Talon TSI AWD 5 speed, 400 bucks, its been sitting since 2000, but it started right up yesturday. I think it needs a clutch.
