kcw 1 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've bought a 2nd engine to prep for turboing but its got a hole in the bottom end, also have a spare block with it though so can combine to 2 to get a nice fresh vr for turbotime. What I wanna know if what parts should I be replacing when the block is stripped down? Whats essential, whats ptional etc.Thanks in advanceKen Link to post Share on other sites
LadVR 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 if its in bits then i would change every wearing surface ie, bearings, guides, chains, + seals and gaskets, oil pump etc. might as well do it all at once whilst its stripped. Link to post Share on other sites
