2G Motor rebuild/maintenance

[Bedicine]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right spot for this question. I recently purchased a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI with 204,000km (130,000 miles) on the motor. The motor is currently out of the car and I was going to complete the following for maintenance before putting it back in:

- new water pump
- new alternator
- new starter
- new clutch
- new flywheel
- new belts

I’m looking for reliability and not having to worry if I want to take the car on an hour drive but with the high mileage is there anything else the group would recommend doing?

Future power goals would be to keep it under 500 whee horsepower . Most likely 400-450.

Thanks again and excited to join the community.

While you’ve got the engine out and changing the water pump you should also change the timing belt, hydraulic tensioner, balance shaft belt, tensioner and idler pulleys, and cam and crank seals. OEM parts are highly encouraged in this area.
