#137098, "Where to Buy Bottom End Kits in 2012"


          

So I have been a member for quite some time and constantly troll the site. My motor finally gave up after 3.5 years of 9psi daily on stock internals.

I am going to rebuild. I have searched and found plenty of information but all of it is from 4 to 8 years ago about purchasing bottom end kits...

What is a reliable and reasonably fast processing/shipping store for bottom end kits. Are the ones mentioned in 2002 threads like Howell still good places? What about Concept Illusions?

I thought it would be nice to have an easy to find thread with the most recent purchases of bottom end kits...

Are you asking about forged parts? Because it is the same.

I built my 2.4 using MP as a parts vendor.

Yeah I know. Thanks. He is selling a 10.5:1 kit. I just thought it would be good to know where to buy NEW stuff if you wanted from a company... A lot of those threads are from 2002! A lot has changed in 10 years...

I am just asking if one of the pre-packaged Kits would work on our 420a or you just used them as a vendor for the universal pieces of the kit....
