Ok, im getting ready to build my engine for turbo, would it be easier to buy seperate 420a engine on the side and build it or just build the one in my car.... questions about the block... when i rebuild it do i just get high performance pistons/rods, and should i resleeve it? Do i need to do any work to my head or can i just leave it stock? Need a lot of questions answered but i want to be able to run street 7psi and when i race 18-20. Would my block be strong enough for that or no? thinking JE pistons - rngs / Eagle Rods. And would it be a good idea to bore out the block to .4 or .6 over? or .2? not sure looking for some feedback get back to me.

if you want to drive the car while you buld the motor, then buy another block to work on. get a howell bottom end rebuild kit. you don't sleeve our motors.. what, do you think you drive a honda? the head was designed by lotus, so you don't need to touch it really.. just bore it out the motor .20 over.

ok so .20 would be good? and where would i find that howell rebuild kit at? Thanks for the feedback

The Howell rebuild kit comes with total seal rings and not JE's. If you are using it with a turbo, I would highly recommend that you stay away from gapless rings.

Is that comming from experiance or common knowledge.

total seal = plague run like the wind...


i sell the same bottom end kit also

if you get je pistons, get the je rings.
