More progress, shortblock assembled

[DeNoZZo]

I got my fuel pump rewire kit installed yesterday and finished assembling my short block. Now I just need to get a long block gasket kit, oil pump/front case, headstuds, headgasket, and all new t-belt components and that should take care of my long block. Then I will still have things to get like the turbo, exhaust, clutch, etc. Although I think I may just put a lot of the old stock parts back on just for the fact that I need to get this thing back together quick and cheap. But at least I'll have a good motor to start modding.

The short block is all stock with arp main studs and new piston rings.

I'm going to put my 13g back on for break in and maybe a little while after that. And then I want something like a 30r. I eventually want my car to have about 350hp.

I may have missed it but is your longblock just a 6-bolt rebuild using all stock components with a few exceptions for studs etc?

Pistons are labeled backwards, #1 is always at the timing belt side!
I guess that's how you count =)

That may be true but thats how I labeled them when I took them out.

stock rebuilds on both blocks? why not put some forged pistons on evo pistons in and some rods at least?

Why not get a forged bottom end its all right there and easy to get to!!!

 

[Rob10_99]

I assume he didnt want to throw another $700 at it?

 

[slowgsr]

and he only wants 350hp, no need for built engine till after 500hp.

 

[DeNoZZo]

exactly

How many miles? How was it being driven? How good was your tune?

Isn't bearing damage usually from bad oiling or improper wear from installing it wrong?
