Tearing open built motor
SO i build my motor last Jan. has about 15k miles on it. The bottom end is how I want it but I didnt have enough funds to finish the top end off the way id wanted to. The plan is for twin turbos 700ish hp. SO i been thinking about getting some 98 cams and everything needed to degree them. I also need to install new guides and secondary tensioners and chains as those werent changed out before. Ill also install a new oil pan. Should I pull a cap and check the bearing while Im in there ? anything else I should do while im in there ? Im upgrading the front suspension so i plan on pulling the motor when I do it.

Re: Tearing open built motor
If still an aluminum block might wanna look at the timing pivot/dowel upgrade.
I assume the cam choice is a budget driven thing vs springs and aftermarket cams? If the heads weren't gone though last time exhaust seats would be a good idea as well

Re: Tearing open built motor
Yeah ill upgrade the dowels and ad spacers and shave the rachets on the tensioners as well. I will also add a head cooling mod. I had the redone already so they should be good. Im not really looking to spend too much money on heads. The main thing i wanted to do is the guides and degree the cams.
