> Thanks! What are you getting done to your engine? And if you don’t mind me asking, how much is it costing you? And finally 😃 why didn’t you build the engine yourself?

Getting done everything…oil pump, new water pump, custom pistons, rods, bearings, arp studs everywhere, new crank collar, costing me tooo much!!! luckilly I got a steal on the turbo,mani,wastegate but I dunno if I can afford another 2000 on the head unless i sell my car. Plus you got to add up all the new lines and fittings a hundred here a hundred there and you are in for way more than you thought.

And I am not building it myself cuz pistons don’t come perfect and neither do rods or anything else they all have flaws and a machine shop can actually do what they need to ballance everything. And most people don’t do head machining themselves.
