Hey guys,
Well apparently I have a slight rod knock, and I'm starting to realize that while I have my transmission out, it may not be too mad idea to rebuild my motor. Unless someone say's otherwise, I'm not going to machine the block at all, and go with standard sizes. I am contemplating this kit here . Is this a wise choice?
As far as the heads go, I figure my budget is around 1000 for all the engine work. If I spend 150 on roller rockers, and then another 150 on the necessary hardware, I'm already at 820. I still need valves and springs, not to mention any machine work.
The reason I'm doing all this is I basically need to rebuild my transmission. Having the transmission out is a good excuse to pull the motor. The motor has been missing regularly now, with no luck of getting the miss gone. It hesitates at high rpm, and is running hot. With this added problem of a slight knock, I feel it would be good to rebuild.
Any suggestions on what to get done specifically and how much it'll run?
Carlo-Thanks
