Anyway I'm replacing the rods and pistons. I'm not sure about what else I would need and I have a few questions. So this is what I'm getting so far.
Wiseco 9.1:1 standard bore pistons with rings, Tuner Toys rods with ARP bolts, ACL rod bearings, Felpro head gasket.
Is there anything else I need?
I was looking at a lot of different companies rods and most of them come with ARP 8740 bolts. Some sites vary on their capability. Tuner Toys said the bolts can only handle 7-8000rpm but Manley says they 8740 bolts can handle 8000-9000. Has anyone used these?
sorry to ear bout your blow by probs but forged pistons & rods are much safer anyways.
I'd bore it .020 over & get a nice fresh hone job.
Wiseco Pistons - 400 bux Summit Racing
Eagle Rods with ARP bolts - 309 shipped (ebay distributor)
i guess that means your not going to be ready for the 15th?
