Kaan W Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Depends on your goals, but I would start with replacing all the gaskets and seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 well with curent limited funds im looking to do big end and main bering set full gasget set regrined valves do valve stem oil seels new oil pump trying to save up for these atm want a nice reliable engine with no leaks that i can turn the power up on and slowly mod it as i get use to more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 also change all vacum lines and odd bits of hose for silicon so no boost issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Its hard to say really, just replace the pumps, gaskets and do stem seals and that will be good for 600hp. The if you want more go for a full a built block, bigger cams etc then go from there. But its a bit pointless doing all this first if you dont plan on going for big power.

Abz Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It all depends on your budget James, also on future plans? Replacement seals & a clean up would be ideal & nice and easy, I'll chase up with SPG with regards to the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 yeh gonna go to the 600 700 mark over time dont wanna spend loads in 1 go and have huge power and not be able to drive it im going to slowly mod more power over time so i get ust to how the car goes just want evrything to be reliable and long lasting sort out leaks and botom end and top end now then its just bolt on bits later on like ecu cams injecters and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I would say that was leaking from pretty much every orifice Worse ones to fix are worn cranks causing front or rear main bearing seal leakage, and middle sump casting to block leaking, but if you are having the crank out to check and change shells you should be able to fix that in the process. I rarely see a MKIV head that doesn't need guides and some valves these days. The power is in the head, and piston sealing, so do it right, which will be expensive.
