The motor buildup begins - (DSM)
Geez....It took long enough to finally die.
Was up at Wisconsin International Raceway in Appleton on Friday, when I was unfortunate enough to wheel hop the two front wheels on the launch.
Result: Popped my left outer axle out of the halfshaft bracket, blew out the bearings in the right outer CV joint, and now I have rod knock! woo hoo.... :flipoff2:
Also, looking to get Swain coated poly moly on skirts and rods, and street thermal coated on the piston domes.
Oh well any suggestions on piston/rod combos or any extra sets of 7-bolt 97-99 aftermarket rods, pistons, etc. for sale?
My rods of choice are preferably Oliver, Pauter, Carillo, Crower, or Eagle.
My pistons of choice are either Ross, Eagle or CP.
I would like also any testamonials regarding your experiences with these brands in your 4G63, import or domestic vehicle.
This will be a street motor, and will not need aluminum rods, so don't suggest Groden's (even though they are sweet!).
9.0:1 comp. ratio
.020" over.
Also, anyone have an extra HKS 272 intake cam sitting around for a 97-99 DSM? or HKS cam gears??
Thanks everyone,
