7635, Rebuild Time... opinions please Posted by Hult250R, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Its time. Bottom end is getting worn out. Im tired of trying to tune a worn out motor with tons of Phantom Knock, It seems impossible to get a good tune with this thing. Its got quite a bit of blow-by, its smoking and my leak down test proved it too.
So... Ive been poking around looking at prices and such and Im wondering what parts I should go with. Heres a List I got from SlowBoy. Because they have everything listed with prices Im using them just as a reference, Not necessarialy going to buy from them.
Pistons: Ross $440 Wiseco $440 JE $550
Rods: Eagle $350 Scat $320 (with ARP studs installed)
Im going to get all APR studs, Not sure what bearings to get, Clevite? Stock?
I guess my biggest question is the Pistons and Rods. Is there a huge difference between the Eagle and Scat? What about Pistons? Any opinions on the ones I have listed? Im a big fan of JE's in my Quad but not sure about how they hold up in a DSM. Or if theyre worth the extra $100
Im running a T04E 60 trim turbo just FYI
Opinions guys... :)
