33288, For the upcomming rebuild
Posted by 98RsT, Oct-24-02 09:58 AM
Um..... So is there somewhere we can just purchase a higher perfomance rebuild kit for the 420a? You know a similar kit that you would normally use for a rebuild just with higher quality gaskets and hardparts to handle the boost.
OR is it just much safier to piece together your own rebuild list with expinsive parts?
Keep in mind i am boosting under 10lbs.
I am still looking for a good headgasket this stock one is sucking!
Thanks,
Danny.

Did you get the mls head gasket? If not thats your problem. these guy's on here run 15-18 psi on the stock MLS HG

No no, still have the hg that came from the factory.

An issue that I have been going over in my head is: Do I really need to spend the money on to bore out my block? I bought the car a year ago with 29,000mi now it has 54,500mi. I am almost positive the cyl are still "flawless," okay at least not destroyed.
I would like not to bore it out, so i can do the bottom end and top end rebuild with the new cams and all in one weekend.

But thanks for the reply's guys.

I'm pretty sure you can get standerd boar. Just call Gary and find out, it may be a special order situation though. I know that wiesco makes standerd bore pistons because someone on here has them. It's up to you how to proceed but you have some options.
Oh and the new MLS HG will fix those hg problems so get that one and you should be ready to go.
