I've got a set of gt-40p's, an exploder intake, a set of crane gold 1.6's, and i'm looking into a tfs stage1. My current engine has like 160k on the ticker. Think I should rebuild it before I do the top end?

run a compression test with the engine warmed up to temp, and check your oil pressure with a good manual gauge at warm idle if all goes well, why not!!

Right on. That's pretty much what I thought. Just needed a little nudge! Think it'll wake up a little bit??
