tooquicktostop Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Ok guys time for some help with the re build of the engine, I am going to be ordering the parts as soon as I know the extent of the damage but lets say the head is ok for now, I want to bring this car back better than ever and dont want to skimp on cheap parts, however I can not afford JUN pistons for example and I will be limiting the boost to 1.4 max when finished, so what do you all recommend, pistons, rods, valves, cams, springs etc to give me the best combination of strength and reliability?

AndyT Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Carillo rods mate. HKS cams, pistons --- don't know, do know Jun is over priced. Good luck bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yeah I thought Cosworth made the Jun pistons too. Be worth looking at the built short blocks on Dusty's site (mvpmotorsports). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
