toronto,
I have fully stripped a 92 6bolt turbo car. Alone w/ it I got a nice working tranny (already installed) a big 16g w/ 2g exhaust mani and a catback exhaust, all for a nice price of 320$ canadian :)

Anyways, I have crankwalk on my 7bolt 1g, and I'm planning on building my 6bolt. I already have everything disassembled and ready to be cleaned and painted.

What do you guys recommend I do while everything is apart. So far I plan on getting a p&p job w/ stainless steel valves and bronze guides. As for bottom end the engine has been rebuilt not too long ago, so I dont think I will be touching that. If there is something I really need to pay attention to (not rods and pistons tho cause performance rods and pistons are out of my financial reach atm) please let me know.

I will also be changing all the gaskets, oil seals, doing the balance shaft elimination.

Any advice will be appreciated (ps what valves and from whom should I get them, perhaps some vendor has a deal package or smthn).

Thnx in advance.
 
I would add on timing belt/water pump assembly. Maybe a clutch too. A lot of it depends on your budget.
 
While the motor is still out, i would suggest taking one of the main caps off and one of the rod caps just to check if the bearings or journals on both the crank and rods are worn. It doesnt matter if the motor was rebuilt recently. You never know how it was taken care of or if it was abused. It can save you money and time in the long run.. Also you can put in some ARP Headstuds while its apart and an MLS headgasket. :sneaky: good luck
