#30744, "Piston/Ring/Rod/bearings etc"




          

i believe you can do this just wanna make sure..
get piston from hrc 'je piston & rings ', crower rods from hrc, bearings from howell 'the ones they use for there bottom end package'... the main, and rod bearing etc would not matter what kind of pistons,or rod etc you get right?...
also i plan to upgrade my valvetrain if i got the money... i plan to get crane retainers, valve springs, pt crusier rockers, and lifter, but i also plan to get howells normal or 1mm oversized valves with this top end rebuild, it would not matter if i use howells normal or 1mm oversized valves with the others top end parts? like they dont have to be from the same company or something to work with each other?
i believe what i said is all possible just want someone to check me..
thanks

i might just get the howell setup, but one day if i still have the car say 7+years and i have a stable job etc... i wanna buy a daily use car and go nuts on the eclipse... like running max boost etc so i rather have the piston, and rods etc that for sure can handle it ( i hope)...i really wanna push up close to 400+hp one day... well just a thought...
