Hi guys,
Had a miss in #2 cylinder that turned out to be a bent rod and exhaust valve issue so the shop pulled the heads and they are off to a machine shop. Because I hope to only have the shop do this once, we may consider just having the whole top end rebuilt. What advice would you offer for top end rebuild components? Is there a kit that comes highly recommended with all parts necessary? Here is what's in the build now. Should I leave these in or have some parts changed out? Want this puppy to last for the long-haul...
Components:
V6 5003 Guides
SB 2125-2 Int Seat
603-16 Comp Locks
CS1086R Cam
HT 900 Lifters
R x R Cam Bearings
E261Kt3C Rings
CB760P STD Rods
MS863P STD Mains
F-33 Cam Bearings
354Pt30 Pistonds
Machine Steps:
Bore and Tork Plate Hone 30 Over
Mill Heads
Mill Exhaust Manifold
Any ideas on % over stock HP this rebuilt may generate? Any other insights?
Thank you.
